摘要

制造业企业的业绩受到政治不稳定和社会经济因素等宏观环境因素的严重影响。因此,知识管理在减少内部和外部因素的影响方面变得越来越重要。本研究旨在确定知识管理能力建设与肯尼亚制糖公司生产率之间的关系。研究评估了变革型领导对能力建设与制糖公司生产率之间关系的调节作用。研究以变革理论为基础,该理论解释了在管理企业动态外部环境时对知识管理的需求。研究采用了实证主义研究理念和相关研究设计。对肯尼亚 8 家制糖公司的 218 名管理人员进行了问卷调查。平均值、标准偏差和频率被用作描述性统计。采用简单回归法确定知识管理能力建设与企业生产率之间的关系。研究结果表明,制糖企业共享知识,但需要改进知识管理系统、知识检索和知识获取。创新能力建设与生产率之间存在重要关系。研究得出结论,知识管理能力建设与组织生产率之间存在统计学意义上的显著关系。建议有必要改进知识管理系统和政策,以提高组织的生产力。

Nexus Between Knowledge Management Capacity Building and Organization Productivity of Sugar Companies in Kenya
Performance of manufacturing firms has been highly influenced by macro environmental factors ranging from political instability and socio-economic factors. As a result, knowledge management has increasingly become crucial in reducing the impact on both internal and external factors. The study aimed to determine the relationship between knowledge management capacity building and productivity of sugar companies in Kenya. The study assessed the moderating effect of transformational leadership on the relationship between capacity building and the productivity of sugar companies. This was anchored on the theory of change which explains the need for knowledge management in managing business dynamic external environment. The study adopted a positivist research philosophy and correlational research designs. Questionnaires were administered in a census survey to 218 managers working in 8 sugar companies in Kenya. Mean and standard deviation was utilized with frequencies as descriptive statistics. A simple regression was adopted to establish the relationship between knowledge management capacity building and productivity of firms. The finding revealed that the sugar firms shared knowledge, however, there was need to improve knowledge management system, knowledge retrieval and knowledge acquisition. There was significant relationship between innovative capacity building and productivity. The study concludes that there was statistically significant relationship between knowledge management capacity building and organization productivity. It is recommended that there is a need to improve the knowledge management system and policies to enhance productivity of organizations
