Abstract:

Organizations seek to adopt management approaches that enable them to be effective and efficient. Therefore, gurus and researchers developed management concepts and theories to meet the organization’s environment demand and customer needs. Also, rapid technological developments have contributed to uncertainty and unpredictability in all sectors which have emphasized the importance of the ability of an organization to adapt to unexpected changes, something that is considered to be critical to achieving and maintaining a competitive advantage. Indeed, knowledge management came in this sequence to enhance organizational effectiveness and competitiveness. Indeed, some researchers (e.g. Kumar and Rose, 2012) emphasized that very little theoretical work arises studying the associations between knowledge sharing antecedents, knowledge sharing capability, innovation, and firm performance. Therefore, the current study proposed a causal linkage among such relationships.
