In the context of knowledge sharing, the inherent characteristic of network position has been controversial: though a central position in the intra- organizational network provides opened access to non-redundant knowledge, its innate lack of trust and reciprocity as ;;weak ties”has been considered as an impediment to knowledge sharing. However, including motivation and ability as moderators to the formula between network position and knowledge may uplift the hindrance in knowledge sharing. In addition, the concept of knowledge sharing ability is studied in more depth: reflecting the rise of a new communication platform, SNS utilization ability is measured as well as knowledge sharing self-efficacy, a psychological dimension functioning in close with motivation. The results show a partially supported three-way interaction, implying a more complex dynamic at play. The combination of academically emerging constructs and established constructs will contribute to a deeper understanding of knowledge sharing.
