Description
Summary:[Purpose/significance] The paper aims to examine the dynamic nature of tacit knowledge sharing and further explore the internal mechanism of interpersonal trust on knowledge workers’ tacit knowledge contribution willingness. [Method/process] By subdividing the tacit knowledge sharing into two dimensions of knowledge acquisition and knowledge contribution to examine the dynamic nature of tacit knowledge sharing, and based on the assumption of happiness, a mediated nonrecursive model was constructed from the perspective of sense of cognitive well-being. Meanwhile, using survey data of 350 knowledge workers from the Jiaodong peninsula in Shandong, this paper conducted an empirical analysis.[Result/conclusion]The result shows that there is a relationship of mutual interaction and integration between tacit knowledge contribution and acquisition willingness; interpersonal trust has significant positive effect on sense of cognitive well-being; sense of cognitive well-being partly mediates the positive influence of interpersonal trust on tacit knowledge contribution and tacit knowledge acquisition willingness.
