Motivation and trust are two ofthe prior factors that lead to the sharing of knowledge (Ozlati, 2012). This topic attempts to examine the relationship of motivation and trust towards knowledge-sharing behaviour which focusing that knowledge is to be shared and not to be kept by oneself. Knowledge sharing can be defined as the transference of knowledge either tacit or explicit from an organization, group or individual to another (Osmani, Mohd Zaidi and Nilashi, 2014). When knowledge is shared, people tend to preoccupied themselves with other knowledge that beyond their capabilities. So, knowledge is crucial for creating an intangible asset within the organization and upon that, organization are able to be more effective and efficient towards customers (Merlo et al., 2006 cited in Reychav and Weisberg, 2014).
