Abstract
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate an integrative model that explores the influence of knowledge-sharing enablers (social capital (SC), including structural, relational, and cognitive SC) on knowledge-sharing (KS) processes (KS behaviors: knowledge collecting (KC) and knowledge donating (KD)) as well as a further superior KS outcome (organizational performance).
