In the knowledge economy era, knowledge becomes the key to competitiveness of any enterprise, and therefore, link knowledge and human capital traits is considered as an important mission for any enterprise to achieve organisational sustainability.

Conclusively, the study enhances a sequence of propositions to predict the role of reciprocity norm, mutual trust, and cultural interpretation perspective to informal knowledge sharing process.
