Organizational Culture and Knowledge Management in a Basic Education Educational Institution

Abstract

There is a broad consensus that knowledge management represents an asset that can be used by different organizations as long as it is incorporated within the framework of an organizational culture. In this context, the research aimed to determine the influence of organizational culture on knowledge management in basic education institutions. Basic research taken from a non-experimental, correlational design, took a sample of 150 teachers. Standardized instruments were applied for both variables which had a good level of reliability. It was found that 51.3% of teachers characterized the organizational culture at a process level and 43.3% at the same level for Knowledge Management. The ordinal regression model allowed us to determine that the characteristics of the organizational culture configure a model for knowledge management. The Nagelkerke coefficient showed that organizational culture predicts 39.4% of knowledge management levels in basic education institutions.
