Abstract: The primary motive behind this study is to enhance understanding of the relationship between organisational practices and knowledge sharing among employees. A quantitative approach is used to examine the relationship between organisational practices and knowledge sharing among the employees in an organisation. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used to assess the impact of organisational practices on knowledge sharing by selecting an appropriate conceptual model that fits the study premise and results in better findings. The outcome of this research clarifies that organisational practices, such as collaboration, learning cultures, and management support, significantly impact knowledge sharing among employees at the workplace. This study can improve an organisation's understanding of the internal culture enhancement in regard to organisational practices, collaboration, management support, and learning cultures, affect knowledge sharing among employees. Moreover, this study can help an organisation create effective strategies to develop knowledge sharing mechanisms in their organisations.
