Popis: To be effective, organizations must facilitate knowledge transfer between employees. Mentoring has long been viewed as a vehicle for effective knowledge transfer. The authors break new ground in examining the role of trust as a moderator of the relationship between mentoring and knowledge transfer. Results of a study conducted among employees of a hospital who indicated they had mentors show main effects for both mentoring and trust as well as a significant interaction effect. Implications of these findings for knowledge transfer are discussed.
