With the increasing reliance on project-based structures, project success (PS) is crucial in organizational growth, especially in IT industry. This study seeks to explore the impact of Project Manager Competencies (PMCs) and Risk Management (RM) on PS, with Knowledge Management (KM) as a mediating factor. The theoretical framework is grounding in Project Management theory and Critical Success Factors (CSF) theory, forming the basis for nine hypotheses. A self-administered questionnaire utilizing a five-point Likert scale was distributed to project managers of medium and large IT projects in China, and data were analyzed using CB-SEM in for model estimation and hypothesis testing, while SPSS was employed for preliminary data processing and regression analysis. Findings reveal that PMCs and RM demonstrate a significant positive effect on PS, with KM playing a partial mediating role, and all hypotheses were supported. This study contributes empirical insights to project management research, demonstrating the importance on the relationships among PMC, RM, and KM on PS. The findings offer practical guidance for top management and policymakers to enhance project outcomes by strengthening these key factors.

The findings suggest that firms’ strategies are influenced by knowledge management and human capital management. The higher the rating of the hotels, the more likely the hotel is to adopt a knowledge management strategy based upon a human oriented strategy. This influences the innovativeness and creativeness of their human capital, which, in turn, increases the competitive advantage of the firms.

Manufacturing sector is the driver of economic growth of developing countries and employment. Knowledge and knowledge management result in manufacturing excellence by improving productivity and flexibility of the organizations’ operations. This study has identified four fundamental knowledge management processes from the literature, namely knowledge acquisition, knowledge creation, knowledge storage and knowledge sharing that contribute to the growth of the organizations. Thus, we had developed a questionnaire to analyze these processes in the Indian manufacturing sector. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed using LISREL (Linear Structural Relations) software, that is, to test the convergence of the observed variables to each of the knowledge management processes. The results showed a good model fit for all the knowledge managerial processes. Then the data were explored, analyzed and compared with the current status of KM practices with respect to their sizes. It is found that size has a profound impact on the extent of adoption of KM practices.

The biggest obstacle to encourage knowledge sharing activities in the Community of Practice is the willingness of individual to share their knowledge with one another. By integrating the Social Capital Theory and the KnowledgeBased Theory of the Firm, this paper examines the relationship between social capital and knowledge sharing, and it’s impact on individual performance. Data were collected from the Innovative and Creative Circle members in Kuantan Municipal Council and the Royal Malaysian Customs Department. A total of 219 samples were analysed using PLS-SEM. The results showed that closeness, trust, shared language and shared vision promote individuals’ knowledge sharing behavior, and have positive relationships with individual’s work performance. As such, to improve knowledge sharing activities in the Community of Practice, the need to understand and focus the underlying aspects related to the social capital is imperative.
