Design/methodology/approach – Based on a survey of 44 employees from various organizations in India, this study applies the structural equation modeling (SEM) to investigate the research model. Findings – The results show that individual factors (self-motivated to collect and donate knowledge) and one of the organizational factors (top management support & Rewards) significantly influence knowledge collecting – knowledge donating processes in the organization and enable the firm’s innovation capability. Practical implications – From a practical perspective, the relationships among knowledge-sharing enablers, processes, and firm innovation capability may provide a clue regarding how firms can promote knowledge-sharing culture to sustain their innovation performance.
