This study aims to examine the relationship between career-related practices and knowledge sharing behavior in Oman using the social exchange framework. The practices considered in this study are perceived security, employ ability, and promotion opportunities.A survey was conducted among 129 employees at both managerial and professional levels across various industries in Muscat, Oman.Using multiple regression analysis, results showed that all practices significantly predicted the dimension of knowledge collecting behavior but not knowledge donating behavior.The implications of the findings to practices are discussed.
