Purpose This paper aims to clarify the influences of transformational leadership (TL), aspects of justice and trust on knowledge sharing (KS) process after assessing the controlling role of individuals’ education and gender. Design/methodology/approach Structural equations modeling (SEM) has been applied to evaluate the degree of influence that each variable has on the others through using data collected from 353 respondents of 56 large manufacturing and service firms. Findings The results show that distributive justice, procedural justice and trust in leadership play mediating roles in the relationship between TL and KS behavior. TL and procedural justice have more significant effects on knowledge collecting, while trust in the leader and distributive justice have more significant effects on knowledge donating. Research limitations/implications Future research can investigate how personal characteristics (e.g. educational level and work experience) may play moderating roles in the relationships between TL and KS processes. Practical implications From a practical perspective, the study brings a deeper understanding for directors and managers about the necessary factors to encourage and promote KS behavior in the organization. Originality/value The study findings provide a theoretical basis that can be used to analyze the relationships between TL, aspects of justice, trust and the KS process.

变革型领导如何支持知识共享

目的本文旨在通过评估个人教育和性别的控制作用，阐明变革型领导（TL），正义和信任对知识共享（KS）过程的影响。设计/方法/方法结构方程模型（SEM）已用于通过使用从56个大型制造和服务公司的353名受访者收集的数据来评估每个变量对其他变量的影响程度。结果结果表明，分配正义，程序正义和对领导的信任在TL和KS行为之间的关系中起着中介作用。TL和程序正义对知识收集有更重要的影响，而对领导者的信任和分配正义对知识捐赠有更重要的影响。研究的局限性/启示未来的研究可以调查个人特征（例如教育水平和工作经验）如何在TL和KS流程之间的关系中扮演调节角色。实际意义从实践的角度来看，该研究使董事和经理对鼓励和促进组织中KS行为的必要因素有了更深入的了解。独创性/价值研究结果提供了理论基础，可用于分析TL，正义，信任和KS过程之间的关系。该研究为董事和经理带来了关于鼓励和促进组织中KS行为的必要因素的更深刻理解。独创性/价值研究结果提供了理论基础，可用于分析TL，正义，信任和KS过程之间的关系。该研究使董事和经理对鼓励和促进组织中的KS行为的必要因素有了更深刻的理解。独创性/价值研究结果提供了理论基础，可用于分析TL，正义，信任和KS过程之间的关系。
