Abstract: The power of knowledge has become one of the main pillars on which one can rely on in a world governed by unpredictability and constant change. The process of knowledge sharing requires a trust climate in which one voluntarily choose to exchange information, values, and beliefs, making Psychological Safety (PS) a shelter to consider under the current hypercompetitive environment, allowing individuals to freely speak up and take risks. The present paper brings into attention creativity, trust, innovation, and transformational leadership as significant pillars of PS, highlighting the bilateral relation between them in conjunction with its effect on Knowledge Sharing. Using a qualitative methodology through bibliometric research in VOSviewer, 759 publications were taken into account to design a statistical bibliography map created by 304 keywords. The results of the paper indicates a positive effect of PS on knowledge sharing process, which is being mediated by innovation, creativity, trust, and transformational leadership.
