Abstract
Although the study of expatriate knowledge sharing is attracting attention increasingly, it is still lacking of exploration about the effects of expatriate social network in host country and personality on their knowledge sharing. This study undertakes the previous studies to investigate the effects of expatriate social network in host country and personality on their knowledge sharing, and the moderating role of knowledge characteristics. We propose that: (1) The stronger strength of instrumental and expressive ties, between expatriates and host country nationals (HCNs), then expatriates will be inclined to share knowledge. (2) Expatriates with strong core self-revaluations (CSE) tend to develop stronger instrumental and expressive ties with HCNs. (3) With higher knowledge tacit, then the relationship between expatriate instrumental ties/expressive ties/CSE and knowledge sharing behavior will be weaker. The implications and suggestions for future study were also discussed.
