not a new concept, the sharing of tacit knowledge at the social media environment has recently been discussed in the last
decades. There are mainly two important approaches on sharing and capturing the tacit knowledge. The first one is about
the possibility of sharing tacit knowledge by using social networks tools. For example Hildrum (2009) and Lopez-Nicolas and
Soto-Acosta (2010) mentioned that IT can trigger sharing of the tacit knowledge. The second one argues that it is almost not
possible to share tacit knowledge by using IT tools. Sagsan (2003) argued that according to the mental models, transmission
stage is problematic which includes common sharing and diffusion within an organization among stakeholders. Likewise,
Flanagin (2002), Johannessen et al, (2001), Hislop (2001) and Haldin-Herrgard (2000) argued that though tacit knowledge
sharing via IT is almost impossible. This paper argues that social media can be used effectively to increase the tacit knowledge
capacity. As the people need to be contacted from their preferred medium of choice (Fill, 2011) it will be suitable to use
social networks to share the tacit knowledge within organizations. The empirical part of this study concentrated on physicians
in order to understand how the tacit dimension of knowledge capacity could be diffused or captured. Questionnaire had
been conducted to 138 physicians who works in North Cyprus and the regression models indicates that Seniority of
Employees and the Speed of Adaption of Innovation affects both Tacit Knowledge Accumulation and Tacit Knowledge
Transfer.
