How to foster knowledge sharing among employees so that companies can leverage their richest resource? The present paper examined the effect of organizational commitment and psychological contract on employees' knowledge sharing behaviour. The study conjectured that organizational commitment and psychological contract fulfilment would be positively related to knowledge sharing behaviour. Further, if employees perceive psychological contract breach, they will be less involved in knowledge sharing behaviour. A survey was conducted in different organizations from various industries such as IT, automobiles, FMCG etc. The findings of the study indicated that relational psychological contract positively influenced knowledge sharing behaviour. Organizational commitment, transactional psychological contract and psychological contract breach did not have significant influence on knowledge sharing behaviour.
