INFLUENCES OF ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE ON EFFECTIVE TRANSFER OF KNOWLEDGE IN CONSTRUCTION FIRMS

Abstract

The performance of construction firm employees has been significantly low in the last decades despite the availability of modern techniques and technical knowhow. Research evidence revealed that a fraction of this problem is attributed to inadequate or poor knowledge transfer amongst construction firm employees in Nigeria. Organizational culture has been seen as a major facilitator in building a positive knowledge transfer environment in the public sector. The study utilised a quantitative approach and structured questionnaires. The study concluded that organisational culture has influence on the effectiveness of knowledge transfer within an organization. It is recommended that the employees’ confidences should be boosted to curb job insecurity and knowledge management should be made a priority in the organisations
