What is it about?

A conceptual model of relations between HRM practices and factors influencing knowledge sharing within an organization was introduced. It is supposed that HRM practices have direct impacts on personality traits of employees, organizational culture, characteristics of managers, and instruments used for knowledge sharing. Subsequently, these factors have direct effects on the perceived intensity of knowledge sharing.

Why is it important?

This paper combines previous research findings and thus, can offer a more comprehensive approach to understanding the phenomenon.

Furthermore, testable propositions are suggested.

Perspectives
