Despite these studies, however, few have considered to attempt the influence of knowledge management on job performance.However, the results of those studies are significant and non significant.Therefore, a moderating variable is proposed.Present study suggested organizational commitment as potential moderating variable on the knowledge management and individual job performance.The data were collected using a survey among 682 respondents from officers of Management and Professional Group (MPG) with grade 41-54 from Malaysian Local Governments. The data were analyzed using Smart PLS and the results showed that the second-order construct knowledge management has a significant effect on job performance.In contrast, no significant effect has been determined of organizational commitment as a moderating variable between knowledge management and job performance.
