Organisational Culture, Knowledge Sharing and Intellectual Capital: Directions for Future Research

Organisational culture and knowledge sharing are two significant for long-term success of an organisation. In addition, organisation intellectual capital as the sum of all knowledge used to develop a business and gain competitive advantages is also equally important. However, existing literature rarely examines the relationship between organisational culture, knowledge sharing practices, intellectual capital and organisational performance. The main aim of this research-in-progress paper is to explore whether organisational culture has an impact on knowledge sharing practices (types, approaches, and process) and intellectual capital (human, structural and relational capital) towards organisational success (financial and operational performance). This paper concludes with a research model on the relationship between organisational culture, knowledge sharing, intellectual capital, organisational success and directions for future research.
