The article presents the utilization of Herzberg's Two-factor theory in the process of knowledge sharing. As knowledge is a key factor in determining the competitiveness of an organization, it is therefore necessary to discover how employees could be motivated to share their knowledge or what they know more willingly. The theory states that psychological hygiene factors don't necessarily contribute to increased motivation. The author prompts for motivators and social identification with prosocial traits of the hired personnel. Although Two factor theory holds certain limitation it is still presents the value in offering solutions in knowledge sharing processes. (original abstract)
