Abstract:

This study investigated the relationship between locus of control (LOC) and knowledge management (KM), i.e. knowledge acquisition, knowledge sharing and knowledge utilization. Participants were 155 individuals working in medium sized Lebanese organizations. Using hypothesis test and regression analysis, results indicated that internal LOC was positively related to knowledge acquisition, knowledge sharing and knowledge utilization. Also, a positive and significant correlation exists between external LOC and knowledge utilization whereas no relationship was found between external LOC and knowledge acquisition and sharing.
