Abstract: Over the past decades, it is seen that among all intangibles, knowledge - as one of the core competencies - constitutes competitive advantage for the organizations. In the era of knowledge economy, knowledge overshadows tangible assets and there is an intense demand for accumulating, utilizing and sharing knowledge. Individuals’ knowledge sharing behaviours in the workplace are divergent, highly dependent on their willingness. Due to the importance of that, an understanding of how to foster employees’ knowledge sharing has become critical. This paper presents a theoretical framework and research proposal to carry out a research which examines the relationship between emotional intelligence traits and knowledge sharing and its influence on work related quality of life. The main intention of the future research is to identify emotional intelligence traits that can enable or prevent knowledge sharing. After providing a literature review and results of previous studies the authors introduce their model and hypotheses which is the base of their presently running research.
