This review explores the relationships between the literature on knowledge sharing (KS), innovative behavior (IB) and human resource management (HRM). A systematic literature review is carried out employing a bibliometric and network analysis. The review is based on 45 articles retrieved from top journals using Scopus for data selection. The articles extrapolated belong to any period before 2020. In organising the articles in a grid consisting of three perspectives and five recurring themes, trends in the current literature are traced and possible future paths are identified. Our findings suggest that there is a lack of studies adopting a holistic perspective on the relationships between KS, IB and HRM. This article proposes a systematic categorization of articles concerning the link between KS, IB and HRM, thus providing a valuable guide for researchers. Furthermore, the literature review provides a holistic and all-embracing overview of the entanglements between KS, IB and HRM.
