Résumé
Dans cet article, nous tentons de démontrer que la confiance interpersonnelle joue un rôle de médiation entre les réseaux sociaux et le comportement de partage des connaissances dans les entreprises tunisiennes de haute technologie. Même si l’impact direct des réseaux sociaux sur le partage des connaissances a été traité par les recherches antérieures, nous pensons qu’une telle relation gagnerait à intégrer le rôle de la confiance interpersonnelle comme mécanisme intermédiaire. En conformité avec McAllister (1995), nous nous proposons d’étudier deux formes de confiance interpersonnelle : la confiance cognitive (basée sur les compétences) et la confiance affective (basée sur les échanges socio-émotionnels). Un modèle structurel a permis de tester les hypothèses de recherche. Les résultats de l’enquête soutiennent partiellement nos conjectures théoriques. Ils montrent que seule la qualité des interactions dans un réseau social influence positivement et significativement les deux formes de confiance. Sur un autre plan, seule la confiance affective aurait une influence sur le comportement de partage des connaissances. Enfin, les résultats stipulent que la confiance affective médiatise l’effet de la qualité d’interaction sur le comportement de partage des connaissances. Une discussion est engagée sur la base de ces résultats et les implications de la recherche, sur le plan théorique et managérial, sont présentées.

Summary
This research aims to demonstrate that interpersonal trust plays a mediating role between social networks at work and the knowledge sharing behaviour in Tunisian High Technology firms. Although the direct link between social networks and knowledge sharing has been reported in the extant research, we believe that such a relationship would benefit from the integration of the role of interpersonal trust as an intermediary mechanism. In line with McAllister (1995), we study two forms of interpersonal trust: cognitive trust (based on skills) and affective trust (based on socio-emotional exchanges). A structural model is used to test the research hypotheses. The survey results partially support our theoretical assumptions. They show that only the quality of interactions in a social network influences positively and significantly both forms of trust. On another level, only the affective trust influences the knowledge sharing behaviour. Finally, the results suggest that affective trust mediates the relationship between the quality of interaction and knowledge sharing behaviour. A discussion is initiated on the basis of these results and implications, both theoretical and managerial, are presented.

Resumen
En este artículo, se intenta demostrar que la confianza interpersonal juega n rol de mediación entre las redes sociales y la costumbre de compartir los conocimientos en las empresas tunecinas de alta tecnología. A pesar que el impacto directo de las redes sociales sobre el hecho de compartir los conocimientos ha sido tratado en investigaciones precedentes, pensamos que dicha relación ganaría a integrar el rol de la confianza interpersonal como mecanismo intermediario. En conformidad con McAllister (1995), proponemos estudiar dos formas de confianza interpersonal: la confianza cognitiva (basada en las competencias) y la confianza afectiva (basada en los intercambios socio-emocionales). Un modelo estructural ha permitido evaluar las hipótesis de investigación. Los resultados de la encuesta sostienen parcialmente nuestras conjeturas teóricas. Se muestra que sólo la calidad de interacciones en una red social influencia positivamente y significativamente las dos formas de confianza. En otro plano, solamente la confianza afectiva tendría una influencia sobre el hecho de compartir los conocimientos. Al final, los resultados estipulan que la confianza afectiva actúa como mediador del efecto de la calidad de interacción sobre el [comportamiento] hecho de compartir los conocimientos. La discusión suscitada por estos resultados y sus implicaciones para la investigación, sobre el plano teórico y el de la gestión, son presentadas.
