The approach of quantitative research and its descriptive method is causal and cross-sectional in terms of time. The statistical population of this research included all faculty members of the Non-Governmental University of Science and Culture in the number of 103 people, and the required sample size among them was determined as 81 people based on Cochran's formula. The classification sampling method is based on the selection of university faculties as a class.In order to collect data, the questionnaires of knowledge sharing, organizational atmosphere, intention, attitude and mental norm of Bok et al. (2005), the perceived behavior control questionnaire of Al-Suyidi (2014), the trust questionnaire of Kim and Joe (2008) and the leadership questionnaire of Ridge (2005) were used. has been The method of structural equation modeling in the method of partial least squares has been used in order to analyze the data. The findings of the research have shown that from the point of view of faculty members, the significant relationship between organizational climate and knowledge sharing and also the significant relationship between intention, attitude and mental norm with knowledge sharing have been confirmed.
