Abstract :
Since people are increasingly using online tools to share ideas and contact others, the importance of virtual communities is growing day by day. However, in the quest for exploring the relationship between psychological sense, trust, and knowledge sharing in virtual communities, there have been still very few studies. This study has revealed how knowledge sharing is fostered through trust in order to ensure success and survival of virtual communities.
