Abstract: The relationship between human resource practices (HRPs) and knowledge sharing has been achieving a significant attention in recent era. However, there has been a lack of a meta-theoretical framework which could relate the HRP with individual ability and motivation in organisational setting to engage in knowledge sharing. The current study is an attempt to explain the human resource practices that are significant in evoking the knowledge sharing behaviour of individuals in organisations. The motivation, opportunity and ability model of human behaviour has been used as a theoretical framework linking the HRP with individual abilities and motivation to engage in the knowledge sharing behaviour. The diffusion of specific human resource practices in the MOA model and its relationship with the elements of the MOA model has been discussed comprehensively. In addition, the theoretical and practical implications have also been highlighted.
