Abstract

The purpose of this research is to identify the positive or negative impact of organizational justice on knowledge sharing by examining the relationship between the knowledge sharing patterns of employees and the justice in their organization. The data for the survey were collected from 138 employees of company A, which is a drug industry company located in Istanbul. The data were collected through the questionnaire technique. In the study organizational justice is treated in three dimensions: procedural justice, distributional justice, and interactional justice. Knowledge sharing in organizations is handled from five perspectives: intent to share knowledge, intent to share explicit knowledge, intent to share tacit knowledge, knowledge sharing attitude, and motivation to share knowledge. The results of the analyses demonstrate that there is a positive relationship between organizational justice and knowledge sharing.
