The effect of four types of organizational culture on organizational performance was studied. In addition to direct effects, most importantly, KM practices as a moderator in strengthening the culture-performance relationship were empirically examined. Design/methodology/approach A carefully crafted survey instrument was distributed and data was collected from 1,255 respondents from 10 information technology companies in India. After checking the psychometric properties of the instrument, this paper performs hierarchical regression to test hypotheses. Findings The results reveal that: cooperative culture, innovative culture, consistent culture and effectiveness culture were all positively and significantly related to organizational performance; KM practices were positively and significantly related to organizational performance, KM practices moderate the relationship between various dimensions of organizational culture and organizational performance. Research limitations/implications As with any survey-based research, the present study suffers from the problems associated with self-report measures. These are common method bias and social desirability bias. However, this study attempts to minimize these limitations by following appropriate statistical techniques. Practical implications This study contributes to both practicing managers and the literature on KM and organizational culture. The study suggests that managers use KM practices, which are all-pervasive and very important for improving organizational performance. The results highlight the importance of implementing KM practices in organizations. Originality/value This study provides new insights into the importance of KM practices in achieving sustained competitive advantage by achieving organizational effectiveness. To the knowledge, the importance of KM practices is underemphasized in organizational culture research.

The objective of the present study is to examine the impact of human resource management (HRM) practices on organizational performance. Knowledge management (KM) practices as a moderator in the relationship between HRM practices and organizational performance are studied by developing a conceptual model. Using a structured survey instrument, the data were collected from 979 employees from 10 hospitals in the southern part of India (Tiruchirappalli District of Tamil Nadu). After thoroughly checking the instrument’s measurement properties using the LISREL, hierarchical regression was performed to test the hypotheses. The results support (a) compensation and rewards, performance appraisal and learning culture that are positively and significantly related to organizational performance; (b) recruitment and selection, training and development that are not significantly related to organizational performance; and (c) KM practices that moderate the relationship between (a) training and development and organizational performance, and (b) learning culture and organizational performance. Finally, the implications for HRM and KM are discussed.

The study dealt with the issue of teaching Arabic calligraphy skills using technology with the aim of making a decision towards including them in the Arabic language courses, and to achieve the goal of the study, the two researchers used the descriptive survey method and an electronic questionnaire was designed to refer to the study population consisting of all teachers, teachers, supervisors and Arabic language supervisors who specialize in teaching them in the universities of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Participants in the referendum (400) individuals, then the opinions were treated statistically using percentages, and the percentage of supporters and opponents limited its teaching and the reasons for each team. The result appeared in favor of the opponents by 85.4%, and among the most important reasons for the opposition is that the teaching of calligraphy is a basic written skill that must be studied and practiced in a real, tangible, real way that must be taught by hand and the student’s training in it in order to acquire the skill and develop away from technology, and the percentage of supporters was 14.6% and one of the most important reasons for their support The student’s use of the computer is a modern skill that the student needs a lot. So I think the time has come to take advantage of the long training time on the skills of beauty and speed in training the student to use the keyboard quickly, and teach him from the location of choosing fonts, and perhaps it will evolve to his teaching using Arabic script in the letter And other skills.

Geographically Isolated

The relationship between therapists' geographic location and three program planning variables in continuing education was studied using the descriptive survey method. The findings suggested that learning needs were high in evaluation related competencies and that family responsibility and lack of appropriate programs were major barriers to participation. The overwhelming preference in delivery systems was the one or two day workshop. The study concluded that there were few significant differences between urban and rural therapists in relation to the variables studied indicating restraint rather than innovation in programming for the geographically isolated therapist.
