Built using Repast, our application allows managers to simulate employee knowledge-sharing behaviors by making parametric assumptions on employee decision strategies and organizational interventions that affect identifiability, benefits, and costs. Our results show that in the presence of non-linear and adaptive interaction, unintended and unpredictable outcomes might occur, and that knowledge sharing results from the complex interaction between employee behavior and organizational interventions.
