个体间隐性知识转移是隐性知识转移、知识转移与知识管理的主体内容。隐性知识的非编码性、垄断性和知识主体的诚信缺失性决定了个体间的隐性知识转移契约存在软性约束，从而引致知识转移困境的存在，而传统的激励机制不是解决这一困境的最佳方式。互惠性偏好正逐渐成为经济学研究的热点问题，并对传统的“经济人”假设提出了挑战。隐性知识转移模型与委托—代理模型具有天然的拟合性，通过互惠性假设的植入，可以对基于知识转移的传统委托—代理模型实施优化性改造。知识转入方可以充分利用知识转出方非理性的互惠性偏好来获取更高的知识转移价值，从而实现个体间隐性知识转移效率的提高。  

    The tacit knowledge transition of person-to-person is the radical contents of tacit knowledge transition, knowledge transition, and knowledge management. There is a soft contract constraint on the process of tacit knowledge transition due to the non-coding monopoly of tacit knowledge, and the honesty deficiency of knowledge subject， it leads to a knowledge transition dilemma, and the traditional initiation method is not the best method resolving this dilemma. The reciprocity motivation is gradually becoming the hot spot of economical research and provides the strong challenge to the postulation about “the rational economical men”. There is natural relation between the knowledge transition model and principal-agent model. The optimium transform for the traditional principal-agent model based on the knowledge transition may be realized by planting the reciprocity motivation. The principal may acquire more knowledge transition value, and then improve the knowledge transition productivity of person-to-person.
