Abstract: | The study focuses on the role of trust in knowledge sharing within the context of virtual communities of practice. Trust is conceptualised across three dimensions: competence, integrity and benevolence. The paper tests hypotheses as to the effect of these facets of trust on knowledge sharing by surveying an intra-organisational global virtual community of practitioners. The results indicate that all three dimensions of trust are positively related to knowledge-sharing behaviour. |
