Systematic Literature Review.

1 Introduction

Knowledge plays a crucial role in daily life and business life. Information is a vital element for

the development of humanity across the ages and is the main focus of organizational management.

Additionally, knowledge is essential for all institutions' long-term sustainability and economic

growth (Mosconi and Roy, 2013). This growth is facilitated by important knowledge activities

1|Page
crucial to production and service sectors (Shahzad et al., 2020a). Top managers of various

multinational companies, such as Tesla, Nike, Matsushita, and Unilever, could develop a strategy

to increase revenue and other opportunities while helping them achieve their green and sustainable

goals by using information obtained from numerous stakeholders (Cui et al., 2020; Davenport et

al., 2019; Shahzad et al., 2020b).

The buyer-supplier connection is crucial to organizational success and is influenced by various

factors such as cooperation, mutual understanding, and top management support. However, the

most significant factor contributing to this connection is the efficient exchange of knowledge and

communication (Song et al., 2020). Furthermore, organizational innovation is essential for gaining

and maintaining a competitive edge. This innovation heavily relies on knowledge exchange among

workers. Knowledge contributes significantly to achieving a sustainable competitive advantage

when applied to new product design or service enhancement (Ceylan, 2013).

The strategic management of knowledge plays a vital role in enabling organizations to adapt

and excel in dynamic business environments. According to Broman and Rob'ert (2017) and Pham

et al. (2020), strategic knowledge management offers organizations a versatile tool for leveraging

employee capabilities, ultimately leading to sustainable and resilient business outcomes. In today's

rapidly evolving business landscape, the effective utilization of information is critical for driving

performance improvements and securing long-term success, as emphasized by Malhotra (2001)

and Kempkes et al. (2023). Despite the undeniable impact of knowledge management (KM) and its

associated strategies across diverse industry sectors, many organizations have yet to fully harness

its potential for fostering practical and productive applications. This study aims to undertake a

comprehensive systematic literature review (SLR) focused on contemporary issues and emerging

2|Page
research trends pertaining to strategic knowledge management, employee performance

enhancement, and promoting sustainable production within organizations.

The primary objective of this study is to thoroughly investigate existing literature and

articles that focus on the impact of strategic knowledge management on employee performance

and the sustainable productivity of organizations. In doing so, the study aims to deliver a

comprehensive analysis of current trends, techniques, knowledge management practices, and

applications that are instrumental in enhancing employee performance and amplifying sustainable

productivity across various types of institutions. To achieve this goal, our research methodology

employs descriptive and inductive literature reviews to meticulously explore and delineate the

major problem areas that continue to be the subject of intense debate in the field of knowledge

management.

The research paper is organized into five main sections, representing a clear and structured

approach to achieving our goals. They comprise:

1. An introduction;

2. Theoretical background basis;

3. Methodology and analysis;

4. Results and discussion; and

5. Conclusion and suggestion.

2 Theory and literature review

2.1 Strategic knowledge management

Strategic knowledge management (KM) refers to the procedures and tools businesses use to

gather, produce, and distribute knowledge for developing strategies and making strategic choices

3|Page
(Zack, 2002), connecting KM strategy to business strategy. To reduce the knowledge gap between

what a company needs to know to execute its strategy and what it really knows, an organization

must match its knowledge resources and capabilities to the intellectual requirements of its strategy.

This is what a firm's knowledge strategy entails (Zack, 1999). Wiig was the first to create the

phrase "knowledge management" (KM) in 1986 (Singh, 2007). Wiig defines knowledge

management (KM) as "the systematic, explicit, and purposeful building, renewal, and application

of knowledge to enhance an organization's knowledge-related performance and return on its

knowledge assets" (Wiig, 1999). According to O'Leary, knowledge management consists of

content management and collaborative process (O’Leary, 2016). The customer needs to have a

completely new rate of products, services, and managerial techniques in today's world, offering

additional aspects of customer satisfaction.

Top managers, for instance, may believe that strategic management for sustainability

initiatives results in greater social and environmental performance, promoting an organization's

reputation and enhancing customer satisfaction levels to spend more money with these

organizations. Because of that company's products will be in higher demand, and its sustainable

performance will improve. As a result of these increased sales, long-term profitability should also

increase. These links may guide upcoming entrepreneurial ventures that enhance long-term

organizational performance and financial health (Gabzdylova et al., 2009; Awan et al., 2020; Durst

et al., 2024). Many articles on knowledge management (KM) have been published recently.

The difficulties of dealing with complexity increased rivalry from competitors due to

technology, and the growing sophistication of client requirements inspired knowledge management

(Mishra and Brahma, 2015). Regarding to Nonaka, an organization's knowledge asset is separated

into two categories: tacit and implicit knowledge (Nonaka, 1994). Nanoka claimed that the implicit

4|Page
and explicit knowledge interact constantly in the production of organizational knowledge. It travels

in a spiral as knowledge passes through the individual, group, and organizational levels (Nonaka,

1994). Socialization, externalization, internalization, and combination were the four modalities of

knowledge formation in the well-known paradigm. In many ways, the pillars of information

technology help the knowledge management process in its execution. Most businesses use

technologies like knowledge management system to capture, gather, disseminate, and exchange

information (Alavi and Leidner, 2001).

The idea of intentionally personalizing and codifying explicit and tacit information throughout

an organization to improve performance is known as strategic knowledge management (SKM).

Related research shows that "personalization" (fostering connections between people and

connecting to relevant experts) and "codification" (capturing valuable know-how in

documents/systems) are always required for the management of strategic knowledge (Li, Chai, &

Nebus, 2013; Liu, Ray, & Whinston, 2010; Wallace, Van Fleet, & Downs, 2011). According to

earlier conceptual research, KM can increase business performance and competitiveness (Civi,

2000; DeTienne & Jackson, 2001; Holsapple & Jones, 2004, 2005).

2.2 Employee performance

The term "performance" stems from the words "job performance" or "real performance," which

refers to someone's labor or accomplishments. The quality and amount of work accomplished by

an employee in carrying out his job in line with the obligations assigned to him is defined as

performance or work performance (Al Mehrzi and Singh, 2016). Performance is an individual's

outcome or level of success over time in carrying out duties compared to numerous alternatives,

such as work standards, objectives, or established criteria mutually agreed upon (Jianping, 2020).

5|Page
Furthermore, according to (Yang et al., 2016), performance is defined as what employees do or do

not do. The whole activity carried out to enhance the performance of a firm or organization,

including the performance of each individual and work group inside the enterprise, is referred to as

performance management. According to Shmailan (2016), employee performance is the activity

workers do in carrying out the company's work. Individual talents, abilities, and qualities

determine performance in carrying out its responsibilities, which is always related to employee

work satisfaction and the degree of reward granted.

2.3 Organizational Sustainable productivity

Few studies examine strategic management's impact on organizational economic performance

and productivity (Junior, 2017; Alshehhi et al., 2018; Sroufe et al., 2019). Due to this lack,

strategic management is rarely included, which influences the financial sustainability of

organizational performance (Barbosa et al., 2020). Chen (2015) has demonstrated how

economically sustainable organizational performance in developed countries has been significantly

impacted by sustainable strategic planning and management approaches. The paper explains from

two viewpoints how some strategic sustainable measures have had an immediate and positive

impact. Additionally, according to another study done on Malaysian organizations, 'green'

techniques greatly enhance organizational performance (Hasan and Ali, 2017). According to

Kitsios et al. (2020), initiatives to manage sustainably in industrialized nations have a significant

effect on organizational performance. These businesses will frequently have a competitive edge

over their rivals, translating into better general economic, organizational, and sustainable

performance. As a result, having and maintaining sustainability would undoubtedly increase

economic sustainable performance from the perspective of developed nations, which raises a

6|Page
discussion over its impact from a developing country's perspective. Recently, in a study by

Yoshikuni et al. (2024), it was found that Knowledge application and sharing, as a strategic

information system, significantly impact organizational ambidexterity by completely mediating

organizational performance. A post hoc study identified three distinct enterprise clusters

characterized by varying levels of adoption of competitive orientation strategy, assistance from

business partner accountants, and companies' roles in knowledge management processes. These

variations influenced organizational performance and ambidexterity under conditions of low and

high environmental dynamism.

Given the abovementioned, many researchers have examined how knowledge management

may help the business environment. Knowledge management has risen to the top of the priority list

for businesses. Gartner (2007) showed that about 80% of KM programs do not achieve all of their

goals. We thoroughly assess the literature on the impact of KM and its strategies on employee

performance and an organization's sustainable productivity by addressing this paper, emphasizing

the literature review's relevance in preventing knowledge management techniques' failure or

inefficiency.

RQ1: How do knowledge management strategies influence employee performance?

RQ2: How can employee performance be improved depending on knowledge management?

RQ3: How do knowledge management strategies influence organizational productivity?

RQ4: How can an organization increase its sustainable productivity depending on knowledge

management?

3 Methodology and Analysis

This study is designed to employ a comprehensive systematic literature review methodology

that analyzes and assesses literature published between 2010 and 2022. A systematic review is a

rigorous approach to selecting and evaluating literature pertinent to a research question. The

systematic literature review (SLR) methodology used in this study adheres to the recommendations

of Okoli (2009), Liberati et al. (2009), and Tranfield (2003), ensuring a thorough and standardized

approach to the literature review.

To ensure the robustness and rigor of our methodology, we meticulously followed the

Recommended Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines,

as outlined by Shamseer in 2016 and Williams et al. in 2021. Our systematic literature review

encompassed a series of essential activities. These activities included the initial planning phase,

where we meticulously identified relevant research questions. The next phase involved conducting

comprehensive literature searches, selecting appropriate studies, and synthesizing the gathered

data. Once the data was synthesized, we proceeded to the reporting phase, where we meticulously

crafted the report to reflect our findings accurately. Accordingly, the SLR plays a crucial role in

surveying existing research literature to analyze and identify prominent trends. Additionally, the

SLR offers valuable insights to provide guidance and suggest potential avenues for future research.

The diagram in Figure 1 visually represents the review model.

In section 2 - Introduction, the research questions (RQs) were developed based on the provided

research background. The process of formulating RQs can be summarized as follows:

- RQ1: How do knowledge management practices influence employee performance, and how can

they be enhanced?

8|Page
- RQ2: What impact do knowledge management strategies have on organizational productivity,

and how can they be elevated?

Researchers aim to pinpoint gaps in research by reviewing existing literature. This will help

us identify potential areas for future studies. The study goal is to use the wealth of knowledge

management contributions to address issues related to employee performance and the long-term

sustainability of organizations. Data synthesis and search strategy are critical components of our

activities. The search strategy includes the search technique, literature resources, and specific

terms.

In conducting our research, the formulation of our search terms was driven by our research

questions. Our primary search terms included "knowledge management," "knowledge management

strategies," "employee performance," and "organization sustainable productivity." These terms

were constructed using Boolean Operators (OR) to retrieve relevant publications for our research

purposes efficiently. The specific search terms we used are as follows:

 knowledge management strategies (KMS) and employee performance.

 knowledge management strategies (KMS) and organization sustainable productivity.

To ensure comprehensive coverage in our search, we utilized prominent databases such as

Science Direct and Emerald, which host peer-reviewed social science journals. Furthermore, we

consulted Researchgate and Google Scholar to identify pertinent literature.

The literature review process commenced in October 2021 and continued with revisions up to

January 17, 2023. The review period began in 2010, with the primary research work by Norhaiza

(2010), which was published that year, serving as the foundational piece. To gather data, the

review utilized four key electronic databases: Researchgate, Science Direct, Emerald, and Google

Scholar, focusing on extracting information from the titles and abstracts of relevant papers. Each

9|Page
database search yielded hundreds of papers, and a meticulous selection process was implemented

to identify the most pertinent resources. For clarity, this study selection process was effectively

divided into three distinct stages, as represented in Table 1.

The selection process initially involved extracting articles related to knowledge

management and performance across all fields based on their titles, resulting in a pool of 74

relevant articles for further examination—the next step involved evaluating the abstracts of these

articles to address specific research questions. Moreover, the process involved eliminating

duplicate articles and those published before 2010, resulting in 64 pertinent publications

categorized as 'candidate studies.' Subsequent screening phases led to the exclusion of 5 additional

papers. After applying specific exclusion criteria and conducting in-depth reviews of the

comprehensive abstracts and full texts, 47 publications were ultimately chosen for data synthesis

and evidence analysis. Figure 2 below shows the screen criteria for the paper selection process.

Following applying the exclusion criteria and the full text and comprehensive abstract screening

processes, 47 papers were finally chosen for the data synthesis of evidence. Table 2 below

demonstrates this procedure.

Table 3 provides a list of the 47 publications that were gathered to address the research topic. The

table also includes additional details such as the journal's publisher, year of publication, and

authors' names.

A total of 47 publications were amassed over approximately two decades, from 2010 to

2022. The data analysis was conducted using inductive content analysis, as Elo & Kyngäs (2008)

and Torraco (2005) outlined. For a comprehensive overview of the studies and their distribution

10 | P a g e
over the years, please refer to Table 4. Interestingly, the data reveals that over half of the selected

studies, constituting about 53% (25 out of the 47 papers), were published within the last five years.

Notably, 2021 stood out with the most selected documents, totaling 7 publications.

4 Results and discussions

This section presents the report on the results and discussions stemming from the Systematic

Literature Review (SLR). The selection process involved 47 articles meticulously analyzed and

studied multiple times to grasp their content and identify key themes. Following this, we engaged

in detailed discussions and arrived at a consensus on all research decisions made throughout the

various stages of the research process. Additionally, a concise compilation of the purposes of the

studies has been included and is presented in table 5 below.

The selected studies have revealed eight goals aligned with this systematic review's core

objective. This section has effectively addressed and provided insightful answers to the research

questions that were the focus of the study.

RQ1: How do knowledge management strategies influence employee performance?

In their 2020 study, Nana and Abdul delved into the intricate interplay between knowledge

management, employee competency, and employee performance. Their research highlighted the

profound impact of knowledge management (KM) on staff growth, leading to a noticeable increase

in employee efficiency and productivity (Khan and Jabbar, 2013). Furthermore, Giampaoli et al.

11 | P a g e
(2017) comprehensively explored knowledge management, problem-solving strategies, and

performance within leading Italian organizations. Their insightful findings underscored knowledge

management techniques' direct and tangible influence on fostering work satisfaction and enhancing

motivation, which are closely linked to improved employee performance.

The primary objective of the research conducted by Alyoubi et al. (2018) was to develop a

comprehensive model that confirms the direct impact of knowledge management on enhancing

employee work performance within the context of Saudi Arabia. Additionally, Sigala & Chalkiti's

(2015) study delved into the significant relationship between social media usage and employee

creativity, particularly concerning the utilization of knowledge management strategies.

Furthermore, Sahana and Menon (2018) provided insights into the positive correlation between

knowledge management and the overall performance of workers. Lastly, Sharifzadeh and Safari's

(2019) work confirmed the pivotal role of Knowledge Management elements in contributing to the

improvement of faculty members in the field of distance education.

RQ2: How can employee performance be improved depending on knowledge management?

According to Sinha (2010), employee performance is determined by the employee's

openness and willingness to accomplish the work. The findings of the study by Kokkaew et al.

(2022) showed that human research management, knowledge management practices, and the use

of technology in Thai infrastructure construction enterprises had a direct and positive relationship

with improving performance. In their results, Rahel et al. (2020) showed that structurally adequate

administrations had learned from earlier crises. In a study by Nepal et al. (2017), empirical

evidence was presented to showcase knowledge management's positive influence on employee

satisfaction and performance within an organizational setting. The researchers focused on

12 | P a g e
implementing knowledge management systems, which led to significant improvements attributed

to enhanced network collaboration and effective knowledge sharing among employees.

Akram and Hilman (2018) examined the intricate relationship between dynamic

capabilities and knowledge management activities, shedding light on how these factors can directly

enhance employee performance within the banking industry. Similarly, Abualoush et al. (2018)

conducted a comprehensive analysis that affirmed the profound influence of knowledge

management (KM), information systems (IS), and employee empowerment (EE) on employees'

performance. Meanwhile, Ferdiansyah and Suroso's (2017) study sought to meticulously identify

and delineate the various variables that impact the Knowledge Management System-based

employee performance issue (KMS). Furthermore, according to Chien (2015), the cultivation of a

successful organization hinges on individuals who are not only willing but also motivated to

surpass their routine job responsibilities and deliver performance that transcends predefined goals.

It is increasingly evident that knowledge is recognized as an indispensable asset that significantly

improves overall performance.

RQ3: How do knowledge management strategies influence organizational productivity?

In a study conducted by Venkitachalama and Willmott (2017), it was discovered that

strategic knowledge management significantly enhances job productivity and fosters creativity in

organizational settings. Additionally, a 2021 research conducted by Alfawaire and Atan in the

higher education sector underscored the positive impact of knowledge management on securing a

competitive advantage, which is crucial for the sustainable growth and success of higher education

13 | P a g e
institutions. The research findings reveal a strong correlation between corporate sustainability and

organizational dynamics, including corporate structure, culture, social capital, and leadership

styles, all influenced by knowledge management. This interplay positively affects both the quantity

and quality of production within organizations.

Multiple studies demonstrate the significant positive impacts of knowledge management on

organizational sustainability. According to Jawad Abbas (2020), knowledge management plays a

vital role in ensuring the long-term viability of organizations. Similarly, Kavali et al. (2021)

emphasize the critical role of efficient knowledge management in transition countries, where

companies need to remain competitive and sustainable. Ahmad, Malik, and Anwar conducted a

study in 2018 to determine how knowledge management positively affects worker productivity.

Sun et al. (2022) underscored the importance of knowledge management as the most effective tool

for ensuring long-term organizational sustainability and growth. Additionally, Tang (2017) delved

into the influence of knowledge management on organizational culture and effectiveness, while

Ocak et al. (2015) revealed the significant effects of organizational culture and knowledge

management applications on organizational performance within the healthcare sector.

RQ4: How can an organization increase its sustainable productivity depending on knowledge

management?

Thaher and Jaaron (2022) suggested that incorporating sustainability into an organization's

planning and management strategies is crucial for enhancing the organization's reputation and

image. This, in turn, is anticipated to lead to improved sustainable organizational performance.

Additionally, Hossain et al. (2022) provided detailed insights into how organizations can sustain

their performance by effectively addressing new factors arising from changing socioeconomic

14 | P a g e
conditions and the ongoing pursuit of greater competitiveness in the market. In a study conducted

by Nawangsari et al. (2021), the researchers delved into the intricate relationship between

knowledge management and employee adoption of environmentally conscious behaviors. They

focused on examining how this connection influences the overall sustainability of banking

institutions.

In their 2022 study, Sun et al. affirmed that the most impactful strategies for bolstering

sustainable organizational performance encompass the effective implementation of blockchain

technology and heightened supply chain transparency achieved through organizational and

production knowledge management. Furthermore, Alfawaire and Atan's 2021 findings

corroborated the positive influence of strategic human resource management and knowledge

management on fostering sustainable competitive advantages within higher education institutions.

Furthermore, organizations' long-term viability and effectiveness can be upheld by implementing

innovative management strategies within higher education, as delineated by Barnard and Van in

their 2016 study. Additionally, in a recent study, Yousef et al. (2022) provided empirical evidence

demonstrating the substantial direct influence of sustainability strategic planning and knowledge

management on organizational sustainable performance within developing countries. This research

underscores the crucial role of these factors in shaping the sustainable outcomes of organizations

operating in such contexts.

5 Conclusions, policy implications, and further research

In a variety of fields, knowledge management (KM) and its strategies have shown clear benefits

and performance. Despite this, many industries have yet to fully explore the potential for

productive and effective use of KM. The impact of knowledge management on organizational

15 | P a g e
sustainability and employee performance is a topic of interest. It is important to investigate the

strategies and methods that can be utilized to enhance the implementation of knowledge

management within organizations and maximize its positive effects. The systematic literature

review conducted for this study aimed at addressing specific primary research questions. It

thoroughly examined 47 publications from reputable platforms such as ScienceDirect, Emerald,

Researchgate, and Google Scholar, including quantitative and qualitative studies. Spanning the

years 2010 to 2022, the review encompassed a comprehensive evaluation and extraction of

pertinent information from the identified sources.

The research findings reveal a strong correlation between knowledge management (KM)

and employee performance as well as organizational sustainability across multiple industries. This

connection is facilitated through a range of interconnected strategies, including but not limited to

continuous learning initiatives, motivational practices, knowledge-sharing mechanisms, strategic

planning, adaptation of technology, and the effective implementation of KM systems. These

strategies have been identified as contributing factors in various sectors, including education,

banking, manufacturing, healthcare, and IT.

The comprehensive analysis presented in this systematic literature review study sheds light

on the policy implications of strategic knowledge management. The study thoroughly explores the

intricate ways in which effective knowledge management strategies can influence employee

performance and contribute to sustainable organizational productivity. It delves deeply into the

mechanisms by which organizations can harness and leverage knowledge to positively impact

employee performance, enhance overall productivity, and facilitate long-term sustainable growth.

It is advisable to conduct further research, focusing on systematic literature reviews. This

should include additional works published in specialized journals such as the Journal of

16 | P a g e
Knowledge Management, and databases like Scopus and Web of Science. Future research should

empirically examine the relationship between Knowledge Management (KM) and other outputs,

such as competitive advantage, innovation, and the creation of new products, particularly in

emerging markets. It is also suggested that future studies investigate the impact of KM strategies,

such as utilizing social media and network channels to enhance knowledge sharing among

employees. Additionally, the effects of management practices on employee behavior during crises

such as the COVID-19 pandemic should be explored.
