Abstract
This paper analyses the effects of organizational culture on the transfer of knowledge in organizations. While prior literature has considered relations between individual classifications of organizational culture and the whole process of knowledge development, we focused our analysis on the dimension of cultural strength and its effects on the selected phase of knowledge transfer in organizations. Our study suggested that organizations need to analyse how weak and strong organizational culture affects knowledge in organizations. The study drew upon the behavioural, organizational, and knowledge management theories and analysed answers from 138 respondents in Slovenian organizations. Analysing knowledge data demonstrates that older respondents and employees in managerial positions are more prone to knowledge transfer. The analysis shows that the strength of organizational culture is positively and statistically significantly associated with knowledge transfer in organizations. The main practical implication of this study is our finding, which suggests that organizations need to further improve the transfer of knowledge through increasing the strength of organizational culture.
