The purpose of this research is to analyze the effect of exploration and exploitation on individual performance. Previous Research of organizational ambidexterity is confined to organizational level analysis, thus what effects exploration and exploitation have on individual performance is not clearly specified. We conduct empirical analysis of professionals of Knowledge-Intensive Industry. The results of regression analysis of 60 professionals show that exploitation of client has negative effect on performance, but exploitation of knowledge has positive effect on performance. We found that the effect of exploration and exploitation on individual performance depends on their targets.
