Abstract :

Organizational knowledge management, including human resource management, is the most important mechanism for increasing organizational performance and hence the performance of business. Employees are the most valuable resource, determining a company’s success and growth and enabling its competitiveness in the international market. This article theoretically examines the essential characteristics of organizational knowledge management and the relationship between business performance and human resource management, incorporating artificial intelligence and explicit, tacit, and reusable knowledge. The study demonstrates how organization-wide management of tacit, explicit, and reusable knowledge, including human resource management, can help companies leverage the know-how, skills, competencies, and valuable knowledge of their employees for the company’s development and success. Effective organizational knowledge management is essential for achieving company goals. Organizations should focus on managing explicit and tacit knowledge, as well as ensuring that this knowledge can be reused efficiently. Doing so enhances employee effectiveness by providing access to relevant knowledge and skills, which expands competencies and, in turn, improves overall business performance.
