Data sharing is increasingly essential for digital government and data-driven innovation, yet many public organizations remain reluctant to make their data openly available. While prior research has examined factors influencing open data adoption, little theoretical work explores why resistance persists within public agencies. This study develops an Innovation Resistance Theory (IRT) model tailored to government data sharing to identify predictors of organizational resistance. An initial model was derived from literature and refined through interviews with 21 public organizations across six European countries. The resulting IRT4DS model identifies 39 barriers spanning usage, value, risk, tradition, and image dimensions, and 23 countermeasures mapped to the most critical barriers and the actors responsible for addressing them. By extending IRT into the context of governmental data sharing, the study advances theoretical understanding of why public data often remains closed and provides actionable guidance for policymakers seeking to design enabling data ecosystems and reduce structural and cultural barriers to OGD adoption.
