Abstract:
The purpose of this literature review is to identify organizational cultural factors that impact knowledge sharing. In organizations able to cultivate a knowledge-sharing work environment, employees share ideas as a natural part of their job function, rather than something they are forced to do. The selected literature reveals that there are six key social factors that impact knowledge sharing: trust, autonomy, power politics, care, competence leverage, and collaboration; and two key motivational factors: incentives and motivation.
