本研究採用回歸分析，取樣台灣地區四大行業365個經理人樣本，設計九個假設探討組織政治與知識分享之間的各種關係。四個組織理論包含在文獻探討中強化本研究主題「組織政治」。

經由分析結果得出下列四項主要結論：
1. 組織政治知覺分別與信任、組織重整滿意度、知識分享呈現負相關。
2. 信任分別與組織重整滿意度、知識分享呈現正相關。同時它也在組織政治知覺與知識分享之間，具備完全中介效果。
3. 組織重整滿意度與知識分享呈現正相關；它不但在組織政治知覺與知識分享之間具備部分中介效果，同時在組織政治知覺與信任之間具備完全中介效果。
4. 路徑分析模型適合度完美。
最後，並針對本研究在研究限制、學術界與管理上之應用提出看法與
建議。

By using multiple regression analyses from 365 managers distributed four kind of industries in Taiwan, the study tested total of 9 hypotheses that respectively partially proposed to explore relationships of perception of organizational politics related to knowledge sharing. Four theoretical perspectives embedded in the literature review to strengthen the theme—organizational politics.
The four main findings of the study included:
(1) Perceptions of organizational politics simultaneously negatively
effected to trust, organizational restructuring satisfaction and knowledge sharing.
(2) Trust not only did positively effect to organizational restructuring
satisfaction and knowledge sharing, it also fully mediated effect between perception of organizational politics and knowledge sharing.
(3) Organizational restructuring satisfaction positively effected to
knowledge sharing; besides, it not only did partially mediate effect between perceptions of organizational politics and knowledge sharing, but also did fully mediate effect between perceptions of organizational politics and trust.
(4) Concreted confirmatory model examined Goodness Fit perfectly.
Implications of the results to those of organization, manager and future research were discussed.
