This study explores the relationships between knowledge sharing and its antecedents. The conceptual model proposed herein includes personal, person-person, and organization-person influences that affect knowledge sharing through the mediation of social network ties. More specifically, given that social network theory distinguishes between instrumental and expressive ties, this study proposes that the need for power-prestige, co-worker congruence, outcome interdependence, person-organization fit, procedural justice, and perceived organizational support influence knowledge sharing indirectly through the mediating mechanism of instrumental and expressive ties. Finally, fourteen propositions are provided for future studies, and prior discussions are also addressed.
