Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present the determinant factors in shaping the dynamics of knowledge sharing in organizations, in emergent economies, like the former socialist countries. Knowledge sharing is one of the most important components in organizational learning. In the former socialist countries there is a strong inertial force of the organizational culture according to which knowledge sharing has been reduced dramatically. There are many barriers coming from the fear of losing the relative importance in organization, or even, at the limit, losing the job. In the socialist organizational culture there was no transparency and no trust among workers. The transition toward the free market economy changed some of the socialist values but not all of them. We investigated these changes and we will present our research results concerning these new determinants of the knowledge sharing dynamics.
