Relationship between Organizational Commitment and Knowledge Sharing among Staff Nurses

Abstract

The healthcare industry is a knowledge rich community which deals with patients' lives and wellness. Hence, knowledge sharing or the informational communication process involving the sharing of knowledge between co-workers is a must in healthcare organizations. Knowledge sharing in nursing has a vital role in facilitating the growth of knowledge to increase its value. However, it is difficult to enforce knowledge sharing because knowledge is created and stored within the organizational members who may be less inclined to share their knowledge. Hence, knowledge sharing could be influenced by organizational commitment.
