Abstract

Knowledge sharing plays a key role in facilitating organizational goals. However, the extensive digitization of employee knowledge can potentially undermine the full realization of the premises for sustainable competitive advantage advanced by the knowledge-based view. As a corollary, it is crucial that the generation and exchange of knowledge remains continuous, but this presents tensions and challenges for management. Thus, the roles of knowledge management interventions and recognition and reward in influencing knowledge-sharing views and behaviors are examined in this paper through the investigation of four propositions. The findings reveal tensions that extend beyond firm borders and shape employee views and behaviors in relation to strategic knowledge management initiatives. In addressing the challenges presented, a framework for enhancing and sustaining knowledge-based success is developed, which contributes to the refinement of the knowledge-based view and strategic HRM aligned with it.
