A Scrutiny of the Role of Knowledge Management in Employees’ Organizational Culture, Motivation, and Success

Abstract

Advances in information technology have swayed all of the aspects of human life in contemporary societies. Organizations constitute one of the major groups of the social entities, which have been influenced by technological developments. As a result, they have made an endeavor to acclimatize themselves to the above-mentioned advances in order to survive and to protect their competitive advantages. Among the technology-induced measures which have been taken by the organizations, strategic thinking has attracted considerable attention. This approach to manager empowerment focuses on the organization managers’ ability to integrate their creativity into their intuition in order to manage their organizations strategically. Nonetheless, the formulation and implementation of strategies depends on the managers’ ability to manage the knowledge of their organization. Consequently, the concept of knowledge management has been developed and has been characterized as the pivotal asset of the modern organizations. Considering the significant role of knowledge management in the amelioration of organizational performance, this chapter makes an attempt to expound on the relationship between knowledge management and employees’ organizational culture, motivation, and success.
