Question

SUBJECT : KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT 

Why employees don't share knowledge, ELABORATE IN 7 POINTS?

Answer 1

1.They do not have enough time. They believe they do not have time to share their information.

2.They are distrustful of others. They are concerned that by sharing their information, others would be rewarded without giving credit or receiving something in return or that their knowledge will be misused.

3.They believe that knowledge is the key to success. They hoard their information, hoping that someone will beg for it, treat them like a guru, or reward them in some way

4.They are unsure as to why they should do it. The case for information sharing has not been made convincingly by the leadership.

5.They have no idea how to do it. They have not been given any training or information on how to share their knowledge.

6.They are unsure of what they should do. Leadership has neither set nor articulated clear knowledge-sharing goals, nor has it modelled the desired behaviors.

7.They believe their method is superior. They are accustomed to working alone or with a small group of close friends and believe that this is ideal.
