Individuals and teams are willing to share if sharing is valued and supported; and if the
organization restructures pay-offs for contributing, increases efficacy perceptions, and
makes employees' sense of group identity and personal responsibility more salient
(Cabrera & Cabrera, 2002). Micro-politics inhibit free knowledge sharing (Currie &
Kerrin, 2004), affects what information is shared and what is perceived as actual and
desired performance. Critique of this network transmission model focuses on its
linearity, rational conception of knowledge, and tendency to separate knowledge from
activity (Wood & Ferlie, 2003).
