In the new world economy, knowledge is the most important organizational resource to create and sustain competitive advantage. Therefore, knowledge management (KM) became one of the main areas of management research. Recent KM research focuses on individuals and their behaviours as key determinants of KM success. In particular, knowledge sharing behaviour (KSB) is considered by many researchers to be the most important KM activity, as it is the main activity that turns individual knowledge into organizational knowledge. However, employees are usually not so motivated to share their knowledge with their colleagues as knowledge sharing (KS) may cause them to lose their power and eliminate their value to the organization. In consequence, changing people's behaviours and making them more willing to share their knowledge is one of the biggest challenges faced by KM. Reviewing the KSB literature reveals the existence of many research gaps. Mainly, there is a huge limitation in explaining KSB in the hospitality industry in both Egypt and the UK,and in explaining managers KSB. The current research aims at developing a new theory to fill this research gap. In general, the researcher has a pragmatic research philosophy and uses a qualitative research approach to conduct this research. Also depends on the grounded theory research design
