The primary objective of this study is to explore the relationship among knowledge management (KM) processes, including knowledge generation, knowledge codification, and knowledge sharing, with knowledge utilization, sustainability, and organizational performance. The research mainly examines both the direct effect of KM on organizational performance and its indirect effect through sustainability and knowledge utilization. A theoretical framework is introduced and tested using data gathered from companies within the services sector in Kuwait. The results indicate that knowledge utilization and sustainability fully mediate the relationship between KM and organizational performance. Both knowledge utilization and sustainability exert direct and positive effects on organizational performance while being directly influenced by KM. Accordingly, it is suggested that the firms enhance their performance by effectively managing knowledge capabilities appropriately, utilizing knowledge, and investing in sustainability and organizational resources.</p>","PeriodicalId":46428,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge and Process Management","volume":"31 3","pages":"261-272"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/kpm.1777","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140679112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We explored and described how knowledge producers, intermediaries, and knowledge users experienced knowledge management during this crisis situation, the responses to the specific knowledge needs in the ID-care sector, and changes in roles and collaboration during this period. Twenty-five individual in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with knowledge producers, intermediaries, and knowledge users in the Dutch ID-care sector. An inductive thematic analysis was conducted. Three key themes were identified: (1) knowledge needs during the COVID-19 pandemic, (2) experiences with knowledge management, and (3) roles and collaboration in knowledge management. There was an urgent need for specific ID-related knowledge and how to translate available evidence for the general population into ID-care settings. In knowledge management, the focus was on knowledge production and exchange, with validation and application receiving less attention. Within stakeholder groups, collaboration and knowledge exchange were intensified by existing or new knowledge infrastructures. Between stakeholder groups, knowledge producers and users created short lines to exchange needs and produce knowledge. This paper provides unique insights into knowledge management in the Dutch ID-care sector during the COVID-19 pandemic. Implications are discussed to improve future knowledge management processes.

The paper proposes a framework to analyse the interplay between the dimensions and knowledge types and its application benefits using the example of COVID-19 management in the state of Kerala.

Knowledge is a broad and delicate concept, rich in nuance, a concept that has been interpreted, understood, and categorized in different ways. Even if it may be true that “all knowing is personal knowing,” all knowledge is not inevitably personal knowledge. Organizations have a common capability to act (i.e., knowledge capacity or intellectual capital), the lack of which would inevitably prevent organizational action and would lead to unpredictability, disorder and chaos. Hence, the conversion of personal knowledge to organizational usage has become an important and justified stream of research. However, there are serious conceptual barriers to deriving organizational knowledge directly from personal knowledge. Although the term “conversion” is partly misleading, it is used here in the absence of a better alternative to describe a type of knowledge generation process in which one kind of knowledge is used to create another kind of knowledge. In this paper, we define knowledge as the individual or organizational capability to make decisions. We show that the ability to make decisions is determined not only by the personal dimension but also by the social and material dimensions; knowledge is a triangular model that combines these three worlds. In order to explore and manage the resource of knowledge more effectively in organizational contexts, the key question involves how to support and stimulate the deployment of personal knowledge for common usage in organizational decision making. The contributions of this paper are firstly the provision of a theoretical basis for a virtual support context, and secondly a description of an experience with a concrete virtual context that supports and stimulates the conversion of personal knowledge into strategic, organizational decisions. The support system developed here provides a set of virtual conditions that can be used to exercise organizational skills and capabilities for effective decision making.</p>","PeriodicalId":46428,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge and Process Management","volume":"31 3","pages":"185-206"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/kpm.1773","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140408908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on equity theory, we built a model that explains how and why occupational instrumentality moderates the mediatory role of knowledge hiding on the relationship between POQ and service delivery performance in the tourism and hospitality industry. Underlying this model is the notion that employees' POQ is the cause of knowledge hiding and poor service delivery performance and occupational instrumentality is the diffuser in the tourism and hospitality context. Data were obtained from employees in the aviation sector and analyzed with the PLS-SEM technique. The findings indicate that POQ directly influences employees' knowledge hiding behavior, but this behavior does not significantly impact their service delivery performance. Knowledge hiding does not act as a mediating factor between POQ and service delivery performance. In other words, knowledge hiding does not explain the link between feeling overqualified and poor service delivery performance. Interestingly, it was observed that the effect of POQ on knowledge hiding is stronger when employees have a strong sense of occupational instrumentality. This suggests that even when employees value the contributions of their current role to their future occupation and career, they are still inclined to resort to knowledge hiding as a response to POQ.
