Abstract
Knowledge sharing is one of the essential processes for implementing knowledge management and it would be accruing when helping others or learning for new capabilities. Nowadays, using organizational knowledge and sharing knowledge among knowledge-oriented organizations, employees has been considered to be a competitive advantage and along maintaining them. In order to achieve better situations and status, organizations and institutions follow some models and solutions to identify and simulate knowledge sharing motivational policies. Therefore this study was defined and presented to examine knowledge sharing motivational factors in organization. So, we aimed to examine knowledge sharing motivational factors using system dynamics method. At the beginning, we identified knowledge sharing motivational and non-motivational factors based on literature review and interviewing experts. Then, dynamic model was drawn based on dynamic systems methodology. After validating and verifying the model, research questions were answered in conclusion chapter.
