Popis: There has witnessed a large number of Vietnamese nationals working in Laos, in particular the highly skilled so far. Admittedly, there has been an immense production of knowledge as well as considerable impacts created by this cohort and the local workers. Notwithstanding, very little is known about how these subjects recognise the importance of and have motivation towards knowledge share as well. This paper is part of a research project on migration flow from Vietnam to Laos in the host construction sector that its objective was twofold. First, based on in-depth interviews with 25 nationals of both the states, it examined the recognition of and motivation towards knowledge exchange amongst the Viet elites and their local work partners. The data was processed and analysed using QSR Nvivo 12. The findings from this study revealed that most of the workers did recognise the importance of and express lots of their motivation to knowledge externalisation. Of which, sharing knowledge to work correctly and better; to develop profession and social network; and to attain collective goals were the most outstanding factors. Second, based on the findings, some concluding remarks and further research implications were exhibited.
