PurposeConstructed upon a knowledge-based view, the purpose of this paper aims to empirically examine the entrepreneurial leadership impact as knowledge management enabler on knowledge management processes and knowledge management processes on project success. The study further ascertains the mediating role of knowledge worker satisfaction among knowledge management processes and project success.Design/methodology/approachUsing the data collected from 302 project workers from the software industry, China. The research used structural equation modeling (SEM) to analyze the hypothesis relationships using smart-PLS 3.2.9.FindingsThe outcome of the study reveals that entrepreneurial leadership has a substantial significant impact on knowledge management processes, and knowledge management processes influence project success via knowledge worker satisfaction as a mediator both directly and indirectly. Moreover, the study found partial mediation of knowledge worker satisfaction between knowledge management processes and project success.Practical implicationsThe current research identifies that entrepreneurial leadership may play a role in fostering knowledge management processes in project-based organizations (e.g. software industry) that can use the knowledge management processes to increase their chances of project success. More broadly, the current study contributes to the entrepreneurial leadership, knowledge management processes, knowledge worker satisfaction and project success existing literature and strengthens the relationship and suggest that how project manager's value knowledge worker satisfaction and help organizations gain competitive advantage and project success.Originality/valueAlthough there is an increased significance of knowledge management in the software industry, there is a lack of research that examines the enabling factors and outcomes of knowledge management practices. The present study is one of the first studies to ascertain the relationship of entrepreneurial leadership, knowledge management processes, knowledge worker satisfaction and project success. This is one of the initial researches that not only empirically examines the interrelationships among these variables but also enlighten insights into the current literature by instantaneous investigation of the mediating role of knowledge worker satisfaction.

Grounded on the Knowledge Based View (KBV), this study examines the effects of a knowledge management enabler (Emotional Intelligence) on knowledge management processes (KMPs) in research universities. It investigates the direct effect of KMPs on creative performance. This study further examines the mediating role of Self-directed Learning in a relationship between KMPs and creative performance. This study used a sample frame of 248 academic and administrative personnel from Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Pakistan. The relationships were tested through a partial least squares structural equation modelling method. The results reveal that Emotional Intelligence (EI) as an enabler has a positive and significant impact on KMPs. However, a direct relation between self-directed learning and creative performance is insignificant. Also, established associations were found to be positive and significant. This study’s findings validate the academic experience of EI and suggest how academics and administrators of HEIs can value KMPs and the self-directed learning that strengthens creative performance. With the increased importance of EI and KMPs in HEIs, there is a lack of studies investigating the relationship between EI, KMPs and creative performance. This study empirically examines the interface of EI, KMPs and creative performance in HEI’s and enriches the existing literature by exploring the mediating role of self-directed learning.

The current research aims to analyze the role of job ethics in knowledge management in its dimensions (finding and building knowledge, knowledge creation, knowledge sharing, knowledge organization) in the opinion of a sample of faculty members at the university. The research presented a theoretical conceptual framework for the main and secondary variables. The humanitarian faculties at the University of Salahaddin-Erbil were selected as field fields. The research was based on an analytical approach, and a set of hypotheses was identified as "guessing" answers to the problem of the research, which were tested using multiple statistical tools. The questionnaire was distributed to 112 teachers in 6 humanitarian colleges at Salahuddin University. The research concluded that there is a good level of both work ethic and knowledge management in the faculties that are being investigated. This confirms the keenness of these colleges to practice the work ethic of the university teaching job and to create the appropriate climate for knowledge management. The research recommended the necessity of forming a committee in each faculty composed of heads of scientific departments and some experienced teachers And the skill to supervise the application of the principle of job ethics in those colleges

The study aimed to identify the degree of applying processes of knowledge management at colleges of educational sciences in private Jordanian universities in the Capital Governorate from the perspective of faculty members, and the effect of gender, academic rank and experience variables on the degree of application. To achieve this, the analytical descriptive survey method was used, and a questionnaire was developed and included (25) items, covering three dimensions: knowledge generation, knowledge storage, knowledge transfer, and knowledge application. The questionnaire was distributed to as ample of (77) faculty members in the college of educational sciences in private universities in the capital governorate (Al-Zaytouna, the Middle East, Al-Isra and Petra) during the academic year 2018/2019. The results showed that the degree of application of knowledge management processes by colleges in the field of knowledge generation and knowledge transfer were medium (2.07) and (1.91), while the degree of application in the two fields of knowledge application and knowledge generation was low with means of (1.64) and (1.40). Results also showed that there were no statistically significant differences at (α<0.05) on all domains of knowledge management attributed to the variable of sex. There were statistically significant differences at (α<05.0) for the domains of knowledge management processes, all attributable to the variable of academic rank. However, there were no statistically significant differences at (α<05.0) in the degree of applying knowledge management processes among faculty members attributed to the variable of experience in all majors. It can be concluded that the degree of applying knowledge management processes at Colleges of Educational Sciences in private Jordanian universities in the Capital Governorate varied between medium and low. Therefore, the study recommended that knowledge management processes be adopted by Jordanian private universities in the Capital Governorate.

This study aimed to identify the role of knowledge management processes in improving the strategic agility. To achieve the objectives of the study, a questionnaire was developed as the main tool for collecting the necessary data and the descriptive analytical approach was applied. The study population consisted of all employees from the non-governmental organizations that work in Gaza Strip (N=3167). The stratified random sampling technique was used where their number was 343 questionnaires, 400 questionnaires were distributed and 355 questionnaires were collected that were suitable for analysis purposes with response rate of 93.2%. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used for data analysis. The following results were reached: The percentages of the level of knowledge management practices in general, and the strategical agility were high; with the percentages of 69.99% and 70.95% respectively. Knowledge management processes have a statistical significant impact on the strategic agility and explained 84.0% of variance in the dependent variable. The study recommended a need for non-governmental organizations to adopt the concept of knowledge management as an approach to improve the overall performance, as well as to increase their capacity to adapt to the surrounding changes in order to increase strategic agility.
