Evaluating the Impact of Organizational Culture and Leadership Style on Implementation of Knowledge Management in an Oil and Gas Company in the United Arab Emirates

Abstract

Organizational culture (OC), leadership style (LS), and knowledge management (KM) have been identified as the most important factors affecting an organization’s performance. KM is now widely recognized as a competitive advantage. It is included in the core strategy and is a fundamental source of wealth and success of many organizations. The subject of OC, LS, and KM are well researched; however, very few empirical studies have been carried out linking OC and LS with KM.
