Abstract: The article makes a comparative research on the effect of leader supporting, interpersonal relationship, knowledge sharing mechanisms and organizational incentive on the formal and informal knowledge sharing in the project context. Through the establishment of structural equation model, some conclusions have been reached as follows: Firstly, leader supporting positively influences both formal and informal knowledge sharing, whereas the interpersonal relationship partly mediates between leader supporting and informal knowledge sharing; Moreover, the interpersonal relationship has a significant effect on both formal and informal knowledge sharing; Sharing mechanisms can significantly promote formal knowledge sharing, but there is no direct impact on informal side. Instead, the interpersonal relationship plays a fully mediating role between sharing mechanism and informal sharing; Finally, organizational incentive has a significant promotion on formal sharing, but negatively influences the informal sharing.
