Abstract: This research seeks to determine how sharing knowledge improves government employees’ performance and how employee engagement mediates this effect. The descriptive and explanatory research method with a cross-sectional survey design and quantitative approaches were employed. As a result, the researchers used both primary and secondary sources of data to gather relevant information to meet the research purpose. To achieve the objectives of this study, explanatory analysis, including structural equation modelling was employed using Smart PLS4 software. The current study’s confirmatory factor analysis result shows that the previous measurement items for each construct should not be used as they are, and the researchers developed a modified measurement model. This study discovered evidence to support the conclusion that knowledge sharing has a significant positive impact on employee performance, both directly and indirectly, through the mediating role of employee engagement; thus, the study can contribute to theory and practice in the field.
