The development of the knowledge-based economy throughout the world has brought about many consequences for organisations operating in Poland. The organisations with the greatest chance of success are those which sell innovative, knowledge-saturated products and services. Survival in the business world requires the sharing and spreading of knowledge; this is to say the transfer of knowledge, the importance of which grows with the number of people a company employs and customers it has. Creating knowledge in an organisation requires the participation of rank and file workers and lower staff, middle-ranking management and managerial staff. The quality of the knowledge they acquire and produce depends on their direct and everyday experiences. Based on a study carried out in the organisations of the Podkarpackie voivodship, the attitude of managerial staff and employees towards sharing knowledge has been evaluated.
