Abstract: Tacit knowledge transference can be used as organizational strategies to support, generate and maintain a sustainable competitive advantage. However, there is no consensus on which process and variables are relevant to a successful and efficient transfer of tacit knowledge. In this study, we review the existing literature to identify variables that are commonly used by other authors. Then, we use an exploratory factor analysis to probe these variables. Results show that previous studies have used three common factors for studying tacit knowledge transfer: those related to individuals; those concerning organizations; and a mixed approach.
