To explore the relationship of IWE with knowledge sharing behavior of employees and OCB, a survey was conducted, questioner technique was used to collect data, and 150 questioners were distributed to the employees of different organizations. The empirical results indicate a positive and significant influence of IWE on KSB and OCB.
