“…In essence, social capital is based on relationships – the combined resources in, through and accessible via relationships which an individual worker has developed and maintains in the organization or site of practice – thus providing invaluable resources (Inkpen & Tsang, 2005).

In the work carried out collaboratively by railways engineers and design drafters, the knowledge needed is inextricably linked to context and situation (Hotho, Saka-Helmhout, & Becker-Ritterspach, 2014).…”

The centrality of knowledge sharing to organizations' sustainability has been established. This research explores and illustrates the influences for individual professionals and paraprofessionalsspecifically civil engineers and design drafters -to share their deep, personally constructed knowledge, in a public sector provider of railways infrastructure. It investigates the extent to which: (i) knowledge sharing will be positively influenced by the professional identity, values and knowledge culture to achieve organizational and project goals; and (ii) sharing of deep personal expertise will be influenced by the quality of relational capital among individuals and individual perspectives. It finds that knowledge sharing develops within frameworks established through the alignment among sector, profession and organization values. However, individual behavior is found to be most strongly influenced by the presence and quality of relational capital and individuals' personal perspectives.
