Abstract

The extent knowledge management literature considers the influence of culture on job satisfaction and knowledge behaviour as vital to organisational performance. However, the specific relationships between these variables has not yet been described and empirically verified in a comprehensive model. This study aims to describe the detailed theoretical relationships between organisational culture job satisfaction, knowledge sharing, and knowledge management maturity and tests them empirically in a comprehensive structural equation model. To achieve this research's objective, descriptive, quantitative research was employed with the use of survey data from 306 respondents of a Brazilian public university. The results support our expectation that culture is a mayor driver of the maturity of knowledge and that this relationship is mediated by knowledge sharing and job satisfaction. We also find that culture and job satisfaction influence knowledge sharing with subsequent positive effects on knowledge management maturity. Our findings inform knowledge management theory and practice on the role of culture in enabling better results in knowledge management.
