Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of knowledge risk management (KRM) on organizational performance, with measures considered as “softer” measures of performance, i.e. innovativeness, responsiveness, sustainability, and agility. Data were collected using an online questionnaire sent to private and public orga- nizations located all over the world. The analysis and hypotheses testing were performed using structural equation modeling. The results showed that KRM positively affects organizational success, sustainability, growth, innovativeness, and agility, however, KRM does not show any positive effect on the responsiveness of organizations. The results can help managers and owners to a better understanding of the linkage between KRM and organizational performance. They could use the results to design their KRM practices accordingly. To the authors' best knowledge, this paper is the first empirical study that has investigated the relationship between KRM and organizational performance with a broad organization sample.
