An empirical study of knowledge sharing in Congolese company

This paper explored why employees share their knowledge with others based on three typical Congolese companies. A thorough content analysis was conducted in order to analyze our data, which were collected from an online survey. Our results indicated that motivations were divided into different types depending on different knowledge sharing behaviors. Learning new knowledge, knowledge self-efficacy and knowledge linkages mainly contributed to job-related knowledge sharing, while relational linkages, altruism as long as hoping for advance in company significantly affected team-related knowledge sharing. Consequently, we presented some suggestions and guidelines for Congolese companies and their top managers.
