While the general dimension and sub-dimensions of organizational knowledge sharing, the general dimension and sub-dimensions of organizational blindness, and the general dimension and sub-dimensions of leader-member interaction do not show a significant difference between gender groups, they show significant differences in terms of age, marital status and educational status.
