Abstract

Objectives: The study aims to reveal the relationship of motivation to factors of intrinsic and extrinsic knowledge sharing among employees of Saudi Arabia's Public Sector.

Findings: The study concluded that there is a correlation between motivation and internal factors of knowledge sharing, most notably (good relations among employees, trust, success of work and honesty). Applications: The study also found a relationship between the methods of motivation and the factors of external knowledge sharing, most notably (justice, encouragement and support, employee's participation in decision-making, and job security).
