| Summary: | The concept of organizational readiness for
knowledge management (KM) has been studied extensively
from different perspectives in the recent past. KM supportive
organizational factors such as KM oriented organizational
culture, organizational structure and information technology
infrastructures, and factors of individual acceptances are
believed to be the predictors of KM readiness. However, the
nature of those factors arguably suggests that they may not
merely the predictors; rather they can be the dimensions of
KM readiness. This work tries to verify this hypothesis. For
this purpose, a questionnaire was formulated based on
established measures, and administered using survey research
methodology approach on 313 executives working in the
selected organizations in the Sri Lankan telecommunication
industry. The first order measurement model using AMOS
version 16 was used to validate the measurement employed.
Subsequently, a second order analysis was performed to test
the hypothesis. Findings shows that all model fit indices are
good and all the structural coefficients are significant, thus, the
model fit to the data. Therefore, the current work proposes
that the KM oriented organizational factors, individual
acceptance and behavioral intentions should be considered as
the dimensions of KM readiness. |
