The results reveal that organizational culture or general attitude does not set particular
challenges for knowledge sharing in the companies. Knowledge sharing within the
companies was considered to be worthwhile and supported by the company. Therefore it
can be assumed that the barriers come from motivational factors: if knowledge sharing is not
working, it is a question of not being motivated enough. However, the respondents’
comments revealed that even though knowledge sharing is understood to be significant and important from everyone’s own perspective, sharing knowledge with others is still
considered problematic.
