A total of 280 employees participated in the study trough simple random sampling. In order to measure knowledge sharing construct 20 items and transformational leadership subscales were measured through a 16 surveyed items. Results of this study indicated a positive relationship among transformational leadership attributes and employee perception on supervisors’ transformational leadership style and its relationship with supervisor’ support on knowledge sharing practices. This is explained by a variance (R² = 0.798, F (4, 178) = 77.832, p < .000) of 64%. Further analysis showed that idealized influence, intellectual stimulation, individualized consideration, and individualized motivation explained almost %2, %1, %2, and %2 of the variance in total employee satisfaction with supervisor’ support on knowledge sharing scores accordingly.
