Vision serves a critical role in today's organizations. A successful shared vision paints a bright
picture for the future of the organization. Most organizations have their own corporate vision. However,
making a corporate vision become a shared vision is challenging for management. The main objective of
this research was to examine the key antecedents of shared vision. Based on literature, there are many
factors that contribute to shared vision. However, not many empirical studies have been conducted in
this area. The results of the research revealed that three factors including affective commitment, intrinsic
motivation and effective communication were identified as the key antecedents of shared vision. The
findings provide significant implications for the organization to understand the importance of affective
commitment, intrinsic motivation and communication. Management and HRM should focus on positive
activities and practices in order to enhance these factors in the organization.
