The study is aimed at investigating the impact of transformational leadership, organizational support, job insecurity, and self-efficacy on knowledge sharing. In addition to that, the study has examined the moderating role of JS in the relationship between SE, and knowledge sharing and between job insecurity and knowledge sharing. The data obtained through questionnaires were then entered into the SPSS to obtaining descriptive statistics and later transferred to Smart PLS to perform statistical analysis and to test the proposed hypotheses as well as check the research instrument reliability and validity through estimation of measurement and the structural model. The case-study group of 361 employees working in Thai auto firms was chosen as the study sample and PLS-SEM, also referred to as a second-generation multivariate statistical data analysis was employed. The findings of the study provide support for the view that the sharing of organizational knowledge is key in organizational success.
