Knowledge sharing is challenging, yet it is essential to the success of cross-functional IT project teams. Individual's psychological and cognitive processes can create barriers for sharing knowledge. The role of job attitudes in knowledge sharing is important but often overlooked, particularly within cross-functional IT project teams. The purpose of this general qualitative inquiry was to understand the nature of knowledge sharing within cross-functional IT project teams and examine the role of job attitudes on knowledge sharing within this unique group. This study examined the experiences of 15 professionals working in a cross-functional IT project team. Cross-functional teams utilize a variety of disciplines to achieve a goal. The jobs of the participants in this study were from a variety of disciplines including: change analyst, cost recovery specialist, data librarian, desktop engineer, finance director, human resources, IT director, marketing and promotions, system engineers, operations manager, procurement specialist, director of campus security, SAP analyst and software engineering. Semi-structured interviews captured each team member's perspective. The content of these interviews was analyzed using a general qualitative method. The results produced three themes related to the nature of knowledge sharing and the role of job attitudes: (a), knowledge sharing is acknowledged, by workers, as important to the success of projects. However, cross-functional project team members govern interactions for purposes of knowledge sharing based on what they believe the others need to know and engage in a more formal set of knowledge sharing behaviors with those of differing disciplines (b), knowledge sharing is influenced by motivation based predominantly upon extrinsic factors, including career advancement and recognition of achievement (c), hygiene factors are influential to knowledge sharing with an emphasis on organizational policy, salary, and quality of supervision.
