description | The importance of knowledge management and its contribution to organizational
performance and innovativeness has been the subject of many studies and is
increasingly gaining recognition worldwide. Our study analyses the impact of
knowledge management on perceived organizational performance and
innovativeness in the context of the Serbian economy. The results of the
empirical research on leading Serbian firms demonstrates the direct and
positive effect of knowledge management. The regression results show that
knowledge management generally has a positive effect on organizational
performance. Also, the results show that knowledge management is positively
related to the different dimensions of organizational innovation (process
innovation and administrative innovation). The mediating effects of process
innovation and administrative innovation on the relationship between
knowledge management and organizational performance are only partially
supported. |
