THE REVIEW OF KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT ON INDIVIDUAL COMPETENCY IN ORGANISATION
Abstract
This paper highlights the significance of Knowledge Management and Individual Competency in organisation. Various techniques have been used to describe the relationship between these two variables, together with their comprehensive elaborations. In previous studies, there has been a lack of assimilation between Individual Competency and Knowledge Management in this particular area of management individual behaviour but these two variables share several important characteristics in common. However, a model has been developed and established using the current model of knowledge creation to study the relationship between Knowledge Management and Individual Competency. In the model, the role and functions of individual and organisation are emphasised to highlight Individual Competency, which subsequently reproduces organisational outcomes within the framework of Knowledge Management. This paper presents the review of Knowledge Management on Individual Competency in organisation. As a result, an enriched knowledge processing is produced, alongside with increased Individual Competency. In other words, through Knowledge Management, the number of outstanding individuals in an organisation can be something that is predictable hence contributes towards the development of individual’s performance.
