In order to stimulate knowledge sharing for cabin crews, creating a right environment for high level of leader-member exchange is a necessity. This study intends to confirm whether leader-member exchange affects knowledge sharing and whether knowledge sharing affects managerial performance. Total 145 sheets were used for an empirical analysis with SPSS program version 20.0 and AMOS Program. To summarize the results of the study; first, cabin crews' perceived loyalty and respect to speciality positively influenced their perceived knowledge sharing.
