Exploratory factor analysis is use to test the construct validity test, for reliability and measurement were carried out. Based on the proposed conceptual model, research hypotheses are being developed. This is a comprehensive research which has undergone detailed methodology and analysis and contributing to the limited existing literature in the development of structural relationship between KE and OP especially in automotive industry. This study also provides a direction for researcher to further research to improve organizational performances through the implementation of KE.
