Abstract
The present study investigated how knowledge sharing within teams is related to employees’perceptions of the work environment. Questionnaires measuring error management, leadermemberexchange (LMX), psychological safety, and knowledge sharing were administered to159 Dutch and Romanian employees from 51 teams in 8 organizations. Hierarchical regressionanalysis showed that error management and LMX were significantly related to knowledge sharingand that these relationships were mediated by psychological safety. The results for the Dutchand the Romanian samples were not significantly different. It was concluded that, to stimulateknowledge sharing, managers should create safety feelings within teams by being more lenientwhen subordinates make errors and by building trustful relationships with their subordinates
