Validity (content, convergence and divergence), and reliability (Cronbach's alpha, compound, and composite reliability coefficients) of the questionnaires indicated that the research measure expressions had a good validity and reliability. The analytical results by structural equation modeling using SMART-PLS software showed that all three exogenous variables of job satisfaction, cognitive trust and emotional commitment have a significant and significant effect on the intention to share knowledge.
