Knowledge sharing is a key process that influences individual and organizational performance. The significance of sharing knowledge is confirmed through enormous number of previous studies.

The data were collected through survey method using an online questionnaire. The measurements were analyzed using the reliability analysis to confirm their internal consistency.

The study applies the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) techniques to validate the model and test the proposed hypotheses. The findings show that there is a strong positive relationship between management support and individual motivation for knowledge sharing.
