Description
One of the most significant current discussions in Knowledge Sharing (KS) is security. Security is an important component in KS, and plays a key role in reducing the risks in KS. However, relatively little study has been performed on KS security in the public and private sectors, and even less in the developing countries. This research intends to find the relationship between organizational context and KS security which have not previously been dealt by other studies, to propose a research model. The potential constructs for the model are identified through literature review. Hence, the research model is divided in to three main parts: organizational context, organizational type and KS security. Organizational context includes factors in three dimensions, namely, organizational structure, organizational culture, and information technology. In this study organizational type is identified as a moderating construct. Therefore, this study illustrates the influence of organizational context and type in KS security.

Relationship between Knowledge Sharing Security and Organizational Context in the Public and Private Organizations
One of the most significant current discussions in Knowledge Sharing (KS) is security. Security is an important component in KS, and plays a key role in reducing the risks in KS. However, relatively little study has been performed on KS security in the public and private sectors, and even less in the developing countries. This research intends to find the relationship between organizational context and KS security which have not previously been dealt by other studies, to propose a research model. The potential constructs for the model are identified through literature review. Hence, the research model is divided in to three main parts: organizational context, organizational type and KS security. Organizational context includes factors in three dimensions, namely, organizational structure, organizational culture, and information technology. In this study organizational type is identified as a moderating construct. Therefore, this study illustrates the influence of organizational context and type in KS security.
