Abstract

Knowledge sharing appears to be vital in organizations where interpersonal trust and trust in management is an important issue. Since the relationship between interpersonal trust and knowledge sharing is not obvious, this study analyzes the relationship between trust in management and knowledge sharing through "fear of losing one’s personal value" and "knowledge documentation" as intermediate variables. The research methodology is descriptive- correlation and because of limited number of research population (9 employees of Mashhad municipality), data was collected from the whole population. Lisrel Software was used for data analysis. The results of this research contribute to both managerial and theoretical levels. For managerial level, it emphasizes on individual’s main role in the knowledge sharing process into knowledge documentation and fear of losing one’s personal value. In theoretical level, our research provides empirical evidence for two mechanisms that help to explain the impact of trust in management on knowledge sharing.
