Sažetak
In the current global economy, it is crucial to understand how the knowledge is created within organizations and its link to organizational effectiveness. For that reason, the main aim of this research is twofold: (1) to adapt and validate a scale of knowledge creation (KMC), bringing the original Nonaka’s model to the 21th century ; and (2) assess the relationship between KMC and organizational effectiveness (OE). The proposed scale consists of 16 items in the four dimensions of knowledge creation process. The quantitative study was conducted in January 2017 using a survey of 231 employees. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) was performed to assess measurement scales and structural models using the questionnaire data through SPSS and EQS software. The findings show that KMC is multifactorial, composed by the four original dimensions: socialization, externalization, combination and internalization. The four dimensions reflect in similar intensity the KMC construct. Additionally, a positive and significant impact of KMC on OE is found. This research makes a contribution to existing literature by updating and testing SECI scale of Nonaka and examines the relationship of knowledge creation and organizational effectiveness. Theoretical and practical implications are also suggested in the study.
