Information plays a crucial role in organizations. Managers share their power with subordinates, expect them to respond to information recieved from their enviroment and participate in decision-making processes in order to survive in a changing environment. Moreover, employees maintain organizational effectiveness and efficiency by sharing knowldge. In this context, employees should know their collegues well and help each other by sharing the right information at the right time. These reasons underline the importance of knowledge sharing. In this study, empowering leadership and perceived organizational support are discussed as predictors of knowledge sharing behavior. For this purpose, data was collected from 149 white-collar IT employees working in companies listed in “Bilişim 500”. The data collected through the knowledge sharing behavior, empowering leadership, and perceived organizational support scales was analysed by factor analysis in order to test the validation of the scales. Then Cronbach’s Alpha values were assessed for testing the reliability of the scales. Lastly, in order to test the hypothesis, hierarchical regression analysis was completed and the results were verified via PROCESS macro. The results suggest that the mediating role of perceived organizational support on the relationship between empowering leadership and knowledge sharing behavior is partially supported.
