This study aims at investigating how far teamwork can support Knowledge Management. In doing so, 384 employees working in Iran Khodro, Neyshabour branch, located in Khorasan-e-Razavi, Iran were randomly selected as our participants. Based on studies done, we distinguish which features of teamwork support the KM course of action in its different phases (i.e. formation, transfer and incorporation). In order to analyze the data obtained, multiple regression and analysis of variance were used. The results of the study indicated that complementary skills (H2) and a climate of trust (H3) in teamwork were more significant factors that support management of organizational knowledge.
