Developing a model for examining the effect of tacit and explicit knowledge sharing on organizational performance based on EFQM approach

Abstract

Purpose -The purpose of the current study was to examine the influence of knowledge sharing on organizational performance in sport organizations. Design/methodology/approach -A sample of sport managers in Iran completed a survey designed to identify and measure this relationship. The research sample was obtained through snowball sampling. A theoretical model was developed and tested based on literature review. SPSS18 and AMOS20 were applied to data analysis. Findings -Utilizing structural equation modeling, the findings support the premise that knowledge sharing is significantly effective on organizational performance. Practical implications -Relevant implications are provided for management as to how to improve sport organizational performance. Originality/value -Knowledge sharing and performance has been well researched in large and small business enterprises. However, limited research in sport organizations with the European Foundation for Quality Management approach exists. This paper provides valuable insight into the measurement of knowledge sharing and performance in the sport organizations and offers a foundation for future organizational research.

How exploitative leadership influences on knowledge management processes: the moderating role of organisational citizenship behaviour

“…The former is easy to register, classify, store and officially transfer, whereas the latter stems from an individual's daily actions and mental models. As such, communicating and discussing tacit knowledge externally is often difficult (Mohsen Allameh et al, 2014).…”

Knowledge Management in Botswana Sport: Current Status and Future Directions

“…In an increasingly globalised and digital world, KM is essential for success in both the public and private sectors (Ahmed & Elhag, 2017). The processes associated with KM, such as knowledge creation and sharing, are essential drivers of performance and innovation, both in general and in the sport sector (Ahmed & Elhag, 2017;Delshab & Sadeghi Boroujerdi, 2018;Mohsen Allameh, Khazaei Pool, Jaberi, & Mazloomi Soveini, 2014;O'Reilly & Knight, 2007). Indeed, given the Botswana sport sector's predominantly volunteer-based nature (Moustakas, 2018), KM can be essential to manage and maximise limited resources.…”

“…Despite this importance, literature on KM in sports remains an emerging topic (e.g. Delshab & Sadeghi Boroujerdi, 2018;Girginov, Toohey, & Willem, 2015;Mohsen Allameh et al, 2014;O'Reilly & Knight, 2007), and no articles were located that explore the topic in sub-Saharan Africa. There is limited literature on sport in the region and a corresponding need to understand environmental and managerial realities to support its advancement.…”
