Abstract: Available evidence shows there is no certain knowledge of the required factors for successful and efficient intra-organizational knowledge transference. In this paper we study, the influence of trust, in skill and affective commitment, on the intention and willingness to share, and the effect of the latter on knowledge transference. The research was conducted using quantitative analysis. Empirical information was analyzed in two stages: first through a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and second using a Covariance Based Structural Equation Model (CBSEM). Results show that: 1) there is a significant, positive, and direct relationship between knowledge transference and intention and willingness to share, 2) trust in skill and affective commitment affect significantly, directly, and positively the intention and willingness to share, and 3) trust in skill and affective commitment influence knowledge, transference within organizations in a significant, positive, and indirect form.
