            Abstract : 
This study develops an integrated model of commitment to learning, common vision, knowledge sharing and organizational performance. We analyze the model using a structural equation model approach, and 208 manufacturing and service firms in China are selected as the samples of this study. The results conclude that: (1) The commitment to learning is positively relative common vision; (2) Commitment to learning is a function of its knowledge sharing; (3) Common vision is a function of its organizational performance; (4) Knowledge sharing will significantly impact on organizational performance. Finally, implications for researchers and practitioners are presented.
