One of the challenges organizations face is workers’ reluctance to share knowledge. This reluctance is fostered by the belief that retaining knowledge increases a person’s value to the organization. Another common reason for not sharing knowledge stems from personal issues such as insecurity. At times, organizations are also to blame. They create an environment of secrecy and a closed work atmosphere. In such situations, employees feel that if they share any work-related knowledge, they might hamper their job security.
