How Knowledge Management Implementation Affects The Performance of Egyptian Construction Companies
Elsaid, Abdel Moneim; Elfar, A.; Elsaid, E.;
Abstract
This study examines the effectiveness of knowledge management systems within the construction industry in Egypt
from the perspective of knowledge infrastructure capability (KIC), knowledge process capability (KPC) and their
impact on business performance (BP) from the financial, consumer, learning and growth, supplier and internal
perspectives. The sample consists of 75 first class Egyptian construction companies. The authors used a questionnaire
that was modified from the questionnaire previously used by Gold, Malhotra and Segars (2001) and Smith (2006).
The authors used one-way ANOVA, t-tests and OLS regressions. The results indicated that both knowledge
infrastructure capability (KIC) and knowledge process capability (KPC) have a positive effect on business
performance (BP). The results also indicate that organizations with well-developed training and development plans
have significantly higher KIC and KPC scores compared to those that do not have such plans.
