| Abstract |
The study examined the joint mediation and interaction of the strategic corporate knowledge management issues and their role in influencing organisational performance. The researchers gathered data from 58 companies listed on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange, located in Harare and Bulawayo, by means of a questionnaire. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was employed to effect the multiple regressions on the joint mediation and interaction of the strategic corporate knowledge management issues. The major findings of this research were that financial performance mediates the positive effects of strategic corporate planning knowledge capability and sustainable competitive advantage corporate knowledge for strong organisational performance, while behavioural performance mediates the positive effects of human resources development corporate knowledge capability and adaptation to external environment corporate knowledge capability for strong organisational performance. The results also indicate positive covariance amongst the strategic corporate knowledge management issues, with the strongest covariance shown between strategic corporate planning knowledge capability and adaptability to external environment corporate knowledge capability, followed by covariance between strategic corporate planning knowledge capability and human resources development corporate knowledge capability. There is also positive correlation between the strategic corporate knowledge management issues, with strongest correlation shown between strategic corporate planning knowledge capability and sustainable competitive advantage corporate knowledge. The conclusion of the research is that strategic corporate knowledge management issues, whose positive effects are mediated by financial performance of the companies and the behavioural performance of the top management, play a critical influence on the strong organisational performance of the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange listed companies. Recommendations for further future studies concludes the research. |
