Purpose – This paper aims to review and critique the public sector knowledge management (KM) literature, offers an overview of the state of public sector KM research and outlines a future research agenda. Design/methodology/approach – Articles published in KM journals are analyzed using a structured literature review methodology. The paper analyzes 180 papers published within ten journals specializing in the field of KM. Findings – Public sector KM is a research area of growing importance. Findings show that few authors specialize in the field and there are several obstacles to developing a cohesive body of literature. Low levels of international cooperation among authors and international comparisons mean that the literature is fragmented. Some research topics and some geographical areas within the public sector theme are over-analyzed, while others are under-investigated. Additionally, academic researchers should re-think their methodological approach if they wish to make significant contributions to th...

Public sector knowledge management : a structured literature review

Due to a tight labour market, some Western organisations are now looking for new ways to attract highly qualified applicants. This paper examines the influence of the corporate image and the company employment image on the application intentions of graduate business students. We begin by investigating the dimensional composition of these images, both by literature search and empirically. Second, we determine their influence on the application intentions. The intermediary role of information use will also receive attention. Our results show that both types of images have independent significant positive effects on the intentions to apply and are thus important and valuable tools on the labour market, although strongly different.

The Role of Corporate Image and Company Employment Image in Explaining Application Intentions

Despite the growing interest in knowledge management (KM) for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), research on this topic is still fragmented and loosely focused. This paper adds to this research ...

Knowledge management in higher education: a literature review and further research avenues

Introduction The era of knowledge plays an essential role in the economic growth and development of all enterprises (Foray, 2004; Mosconi & Roy, 2013). With the arrival of globalization, knowledge has become an intangible resource generator of permanent competitive advantage (Ikujiro & Hiroshi, 2013; Tunc Bozbura, 2007) and contributes to the generation of intellectual capital and to the economic activities of organizations (Kristandl & Bontis, 2007). In these times of constant motion, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) require the extraction of knowledge from both domestic sources and foreign sources to achieve greater participation in the markets, foster innovation, and improve performance (Gold, Malhotra, & Segars, 2001; Morgan & Berthon, 2008). Knowledge management (KM) is a comprehensive approach that includes capture, receipt, and transfer of information in a company that considers the policies, procedures, knowledge, and experience of employees (Duhon, 1998). In addition, technology systems influence the behavior of employees and strengthen a culture based on the use and transfer of information (Davenport, 1994). KM is a business practice that integrates essential strategies, policies, techniques, and procedures (Davenport, 2013; Lavergne & Earl, 2006). The alignment of corporate strategy with KM is vital for adding value and achieving results (Chuang, 2004; M. H. Zack & Singh, 2010). KM influences business systems by increasing profitability, creating a harmonious atmosphere among employees, and ensuring businesses' sustainability and competitiveness (Darvish, Mohammadi, & Afsharpour, 2012; Darvish & Nazari, 2013). However, KM is not sufficiently widespread in SMEs, mainly due to the lack of strategic planning, lack of financial resources, distaste to change cultural, uncertainty regarding benefits, and technological immaturity, which are typical in these organizations (Edvardsson & Durst, 2013; Yew Wong, 2005). A reasonable number of empirical studies have analyzed the impact of KM and innovation in SMEs (Constantinescu, 2009; C. Yu, Yu-Fang, & Yu-Cheh, 2013). However, the relationship between innovation and performance is still a wide field for exploration (Price, Stoica, & Boncella, 2013; Vaccaro, Parente, & Veloso, 2010). Works on KM have placed minimal emphasis on the benefits generated in SMEs; the majority of research focuses on large organizations (Darroch, 2005; Roxas, Battisti, & Deakins, 2014). In addition, minimal understanding of how companies create, transfer, and use knowledge has led to difficulty in transforming knowledge into a competitive advantage (C. Lin, Wu, & Yen, 2012; Perrin, Vidal, & McGill, 2006). The difficulty of measuring KM in SMEs provides a reasonable explanation for the scarcity of empirical studies in this developing discipline (Becerra-Fernandez & Sabherwal, 2014; Choi, Poon, & Davis, 2008). By the great influence of the KM in the progress and development of SMEs, it is important to develop this type of study more regularly (Imran, 2014; Vaccaro et al., 2010). The objective of this work is to empirically analyze the relationships between KM, innovation, and performance in SMEs in the region of Murcia, Spain. In the current competitive global environment, it is important to analyze the key factors that affect the development and growth of these companies. The research questions that we attempt to answer are as follows: 1. Does knowledge management influence innovation activities in SMEs? 2. Does business innovation exert any influence on SME performance? Literature reveals that KM can help SMEs to professionally develop employees, improve innovation processes, grow sales, satisfy customers and thus achieve organizational success (Edvardsson & Durst, 2013; Lopez-Nicolas & Merono-Cerdan, 2011; Madrid-Guijarro, Garcia, & Van Auken, 2009). …

Management of Knowledge, Innovation and Performance in SMEs

Impact of information hiding on circular food supply chains in business-to-business context

Knowledge sharing barriers reduce the propensity of individuals to share knowledge and produce innovation behaviour. Thus, identifying barriers and their impact on knowledge sharing and individual innovation behaviour is a potential research area to study. Considering lack of studies in the literature, this study provides further evidence regarding the implications of knowledge sharing barriers in the workplace. Data was collected from eighty three academic staff in a higher education institution and analysed with Smart PLS. The results showed that organisation related knowledge sharing barriers are negatively related to knowledge collecting and knowledge donating. The result also indicates that individual knowledge sharing barriers have negative effect on individual innovation behaviours. There was no link found in this study between knowledge sharing and individual innovation behaviour. These findings provide empirical evidence to the further development of knowledge management and innovation research, and insights regarding how to better implement knowledge sharing and foster innovation behaviour in organisations.
