Knowledge sharing is an important aspect of knowledge management, which can be an organization’s sustainable competitive advantage. Through knowledge sharing, the organization could integrate both internal and external knowledge, detect opportunities and obtain more advantageous positions (Gavirneni et al., 1999). Although knowledge sharing results in improved organizational effectiveness, few firms have been successful in encouraging staff to share their knowledge and facilitating their sharing capabilities to support the related activities.Organizations are confronted by a variety of knowledge sharing problems, which can eventually lead to resistance to knowledge sharing behavior, such as barriers within organizations, a lack of technological resources and training, as well as differences in individuals’ skills (Riege, 2005). Moreover, another factor determining knowledge sharing’s success or failure is an individual’s motivation to participate in community knowledge generation and sharing activities (Jolaee et al., 2014). Several studies have investigated the potential barriers to knowledge sharing in virtual teams (Lin et al., 2012; Rosen et al., 2007), virtual communities of practice (Usoro et al., 2007) and different knowledge sharing mechanisms (Bontis et al., 2009). One of the most important barriers to effective knowledge sharing within a firm is a lack of organizational support for knowledge transfer efforts and abilities (Alavi and Leidner, 2001; Riege, 2005). A lack of factors that motivate and encourage employees can prevent staff from feeling selfefficacy and using their full potential. Michailova and Husted (2003) suggested that when the level of organizational support provided through the social environment is adequate, a high level of perceived self-efficacy will encourage the pursuit of effective knowledge sharing. For example, Wang and Noe (2010) suggested that the use of appropriate supervisory control in the organization was a significant predictor of individual effort and ability, which were also related to the frequency of knowledge sharing.
