Abstract

The trust among organization members is an important factor influencing the tacit knowledge-sharing willingness. This paper studied the antecedents influencing the trust and the functional mechanism between trust and tacit knowledge-sharing willingness, which was based on the data of 213 copies of questionnaire from knowledge workers in communication enterprises with an empirical research through structural equation model. The results show that both affect- and institution-based trust among knowledge workers has a significant positive impact on tacit knowledge-sharing willingness while cognition-based trust insignificant; and instrumental ties, organizational fairness and affiliation is the antecedents influencing the trust.
