In the era of the knowledge-based economy, knowledge management has increasingly captured the interest and attention of researchers and practitioners. In addition, knowledge sharing behavior has been recognized as an important element of knowledge management. However, few studies have explored knowledge sharing behavior in the public sector. Using the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey data, this study investigates the relationship between human resource (HR) practices and knowledge sharing behavior in the public sector, including the moderating role of trust in supervisor. The authors find that HR practices and trust in supervisor play pivotal roles in promoting knowledge sharing behavior. In addition, results show that trust in supervisor moderates the relationships between HR practices and knowledge sharing behavior. The implications of these findings are thoroughly discussed in this study.
