Abstract: The role of individual’s knowledge on the development of an organization demonstrates pivotal lieu for both public and private sector organizations. The needs for public sector workers who posses knowledge encourage awareness on the importance of knowledge acquisition particularly for the knowledge mastered by each of individual in the organization. Employees involved in knowledge sharing activity will boost performance and productivity. The process of knowledge sharing in an organization is driven by several factors including organizational culture, organizational trust, self efficacy and organizational commitment. This research aims to investigate and reveal how organizational commitment as the mediating variable on the relationship among organizational culture, organizational trust and self efficacy toward knowledge sharing behavior variables. This research is conducted at Inspectorate of local governments in East Java province which took 268 respondents as its sample by using Partial Least Square analysis (Warp PLSV.5). The result shows that organizational culture, self efficacy and organizational commitment influence knowledge sharing behavior; yet, organizational trust does not affect knowledge sharing behavior. It indicates that greater level of organizational culture, self efficacy and organizational commitment in public sector will result in greater knowledge sharing behavior; however, higher level of organizational trust does not increase knowledge sharing behavior in public sector context. The finding of this research proves that organizational commitment is able to partially mediate the effects of organizational culture and self efficacy on knowledge sharing behavior; further, organizational commitment has a function as a full mediation on the effect of organizational trust on knowledge sharing behavior.
