Abstract
The study aims at examining the impact of knowledge management on
employee performance. Two aspects of knowledge management, such as,
sharing tacit knowledge and use of technology are examined in relation to
employee performance. Validated, self-administered questionnaires were
used to gather primary responses from a sample of 300 middle level
Information Technology managers using convenience sampling technique.
The regression analysis was carried out for deriving results. Overall
knowledge management significantly impact employee performance.
Moreover the tacit knowledge sharing has greater contributions towards
employee performance than the use of technology. For improving
performance of employees the managers must use knowledge
management approaches such as sharing tacit knowledge and using
technology that enhance performance for obtaining better organizational
outcomes. Sharing tacit knowledge and adequate use of technology were
not examined earlier in the IT sector context in Pakistan, especially in the
organization that experienced several phases of re-structuring.
