| Summary: | The challenge of knowledge management is to facilitate tacit knowledge sharing (TKS) so that it is extracted into organizational memory.In team environment, trust in crucial to TKS. The road to a trusting relationship is
marked by inter-personal understanding and empathic communication between members. Emotional intelligence (EI) as the ability to control one’s and other’s emotions
