The influence of knowledge storage on knowledge management processes in higher education institutions

ABSTRACT

Knowledge storage is one of the essential processes in the knowledge management cycle for an efficient knowledge base to access and transfer required knowledge. Nevertheless, scientific studies lack thorough research on its influence on other knowledge management processes and frequently neglect to investigate seniority’s role in storing knowledge. Therefore, to fill this research gap, a survey was employed to collect data from 220 academics, and PLS-structural equation modelling techniques and one-way ANOVA were employed for data analysis. The findings indicated a significant and positive influence of knowledge storage on the knowledge processes analysed in the study and an insignificant difference in average knowledge storage level between groups of academics belonging to different work experience categories. The results of this study are of high importance for higher education institutions interested in improving the knowledge potential in their organisations.
