Transfer of tacit knowledge: review of the dimensions of analysis on the construct

Tacit Knowledge Transfer (TKT) is the process of sharing and disseminating Tacit Knowledge (TK) among organization members. This article aims to identify the dimensions of analysis regarding the TTK construct through a mixed-methods approach, employing bibliometric and descriptive analyses of TTK studies. The comparative analysis between the most cited and the most recent studies may reveal an evolution of the technical, cognitive, and social dimensions within the field of TTK. While earlier studies emphasize trust and diverse contexts influencing TTK, recent works direct attention toward individual competencies, mutual trust, and social interaction as crucial elements for a more comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon, deepening seminal discussions on the construct.
