Abstract
Most of knowledge management documents use a single dimension or individual case study as the foundation to carry out studies into management performance and the studies into how knowledge management performance influence knowledge management driver are very few. Consequently, this study integrated the theories from different studies to propose three individual drivers of knowledge management, and the knowledge management performance of organizations was the dependent variable. Through questionnaires, the mutual relationship between the three individual drivers of knowledge management would be discussed, and then the relationship between the drivers of knowledge management and the knowledge management performance in the organization would be discussed too. Two-step approach of Anderson and Gerbing (1988) was the main study method of this study, and SPSS statistical software was used to carry out reliability test and exploratory factor analysis, and assessment of validity and measuring model were then carried out. LISREL8.51 statistical software was used to carry out verification for the measuring model. The study result showed that the more popular the application of relevant information system of knowledge management, the better the performance of organization’s knowledge management. Positive participation of the leaders and creation of knowledge management culture are important factors of the optimal knowledge management performance in the organization. On the other hand, appropriate use of information technology allows the formation of knowledge management culture. This culture could guide or stimulate the organization too. Leader’s behavior is the significant factor of creating excellent knowledge management culture. This study attempted to urge the enterprises to check on its organization and operation, and correct their major problems during the preparation of implementing knowledge management, so as to promote the probability of being successful when the enterprises implement knowledge management.
