Abstract: This article examines the impact of self-esteem, perceived job security, availability of time, reward and organisational cultural values on intention to share knowledge in Indian business organisations. It also investigates the impact of intention to share knowledge on knowledge sharing behaviour. Using a sample of employees from private organisations, the article finds support for the hypotheses. The results of regression analysis showed that employee's self-esteem and time are significant predictors of knowledge sharing intention. Among organisational values, collaboration, proaction and experimentation values were found to be significantly related to intention to share knowledge. Results also indicated that intention to share knowledge positively contributes to knowledge sharing behaviour. These findings suggest that organisations have to infuse desirable values for knowledge sharing and have to align their practices conducive for knowledge sharing in organisations.
