Abstract:In this research, the relationship between four predictor-variables appreciation of the manager, level of autonomy, perceived physical distance between employees, and competition amongst employees and knowledge sharing are explored. A survey was conducted in one organization, that resulted in a total of 45 respondents (37% response rate). Theoretical research predicted a positive relationship between all of the variables. Our research however, could not confirm the relationship between competition and knowledge sharing. The other three factors were confirmed to have a relation with knowledge sharing. This research showed affirmative results to what was predicted by the literature. For the future, more research should be conducted to assess whether the role of competition could be excluded. Also longitudinal research should be conducted to assess whether if one of the factors is stimulated, the sharing of knowledge will be stimulated
