Such attributes as information generation, expansion of technological complexities and knowledge orientation have led into increasingly focus on knowledge management in project-oriented organizations. In many scientific documents, the relationship between knowledge sharing behavior and psychological traits are expressed. Personality is considered as the most important psychological components and predictors of human behavior. Present study is a survey-type with descriptive approach. It is conducted to study the impact of employees’ personality on their knowledge sharing behavior. Research data collection tool was an 68-item questionnaire and its sample size was 100 employees in project-oriented organizations.
