Hypo<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>ses 1: There is a positive relati<strong>on</strong>ship between effective knowledge sharing<br />

mechanisms (KSM) and levels <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> accumulated managerial tacit knowledge (LAMTK).<br />

A correlati<strong>on</strong> analysis revealed no significant relati<strong>on</strong>ship between LAMTK and instituti<strong>on</strong>al<br />

pers<strong>on</strong>alisati<strong>on</strong> (r = -.038, p = .51), nor between LAMTK and individual pers<strong>on</strong>alisati<strong>on</strong> (r = -<br />

.026, p = .643) sub-scales <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> KSM. There were, however, significant though weak correlati<strong>on</strong>s<br />

between LAMTK and both instituti<strong>on</strong>al codificati<strong>on</strong> (r = -.11, p = .025) and individual<br />

codificati<strong>on</strong> (r = -.2, p = .00) sub-scales. These results are similar to those <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> a previous study<br />
