The effect of long-term orientation on knowledge sharing — A mediate model

Hofstede's culture values framework has been widely used by researchers since it was first raised in 1980. Long-term orientation is one of the five dimensionalities of the framework which came from “Confucius Dynamics”. Previous research indicated that it has an positive effect on stuffs' willingness of knowledge sharing. This paper intends to explore the mechanism hidden between them, and find a perception of long-term interaction plays a mediate role between them.
