| dc.description.abstract | Human Resource Management is identified
as essential for driving the human resource of any
organization towards the success. Since they possess
the knowledge required to execute job functions and
create new knowledge to do it better, Human Resource
Management is a knowledge intensive process, and, thus,
knowledge management practices should be involved in
the process of improving Human Resource Management
functions. This study was carried out investigating how
knowledge management practices could be involved in
human resource functions for a better implementation.
Hence, a quantitative research was conducted along
with a questionnaire distributed among human resource
professionals which resulted many positives towards the
importance of using knowledge management practices
in their job functions. Five Knowledge Management
practices were identified that could make an impact for
Human Resource functions as of; knowledge creation,
acquisition, sharing, storage and implementation. In the
forms of brainstorming sessions, cross functional teams,
regular meetings, databases, internal magazines, notice
boards, special meetups after training; knowledge sharing
and storage have found to be required, considering the
importance of sharing expert knowledge to perform the
Human Resource functions better, as well as reusing best
practices through proper storage of knowledge. Recent
studies have also evidenced an increased interest towards
the topic emphasizing that it would ultimately result in
conducting the Human Resource functions in a consistent
and improved manner as a result of creating and acquiring
best knowledge, which is then shared and stored across the
company effectively | en_US |
