Knowledge is regarded as the most strategically crucial sources and wealth (Conner and Prahalad, 1996). The sharing of knowledge between individuals and sections in an organization is the most process (Osterloh and Frey, 2000). As mentioned by Senge (1998), when an individual is willing to facilitate as well as to learn from others in the new development of competencies, knowledge sharing can be occurred. To Sveiby’s (2001) argues that when the knowledge flows in and out among the individual, their competencies, skills and abilities will increase as well as they can be creating new knowledge. The organizational climate in the organization is significant to the behaviour sharing of knowledge among the employees as it facilitates the cooperative work and a well-functioning organization.
