%X This study uses the theory of social exchange (TSE) as a foundation to investigate the effect of a collaborative climate (CC) on knowledge-sharing attitudes (KSA) in Sudanese insurance companies. A descriptive research approach was adopted using a questionnaire to collect data from a convenience sample of 395 employees working in Sudanese insurance firms. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was conducted using SPSS and AMOS to analyze the data. The proposed hypotheses were tested through path coefficient analysis. The results indicate that among the CC components, only collaborative belief has a significant positive effect on KSA. In contrast, the other components—immediate supervisor and workgroup—show a negative effect on KSA. These findings were interpreted concerning existing literature. This study acknowledges certain limitations, including the use of a non-probability sampling method and a cross-sectional design. Recommendations for future research are provided. This study provides valuable insights for both theory and practice, helping practitioners and team leaders recognize the importance of fostering a collaborative environment that strengthens social connections among colleagues and promotes positive workplace relationships.
