Summary:The purpose of this study is to investigate WRSDL practices among staff and managers from various fields in order to get in-depth understanding and ways on how to cultivate it in the organization. The research design of this study was done by using qualitative method in order to obtain answers to “what”, “why” and “how” questions in getting an in-depth understanding of WRSDL phenomenon.
