Knowledge management maturity and organizational performance in project-based organizations: Initial evidence from Indonesia

The aim of this research is to evaluate empirically the possible linkage between `knowledge management maturity´ (KMM) and `organizational performance´. The study is carried out within project-based organizations, specifically targeting construction firms in Indonesia. Prior to the main study, an instrument to measure the two key variables are developed and tested for validity and reliability. Top or senior management representing the respective organizations are invited to the study (response rate=25.3%, n=117 after data preparation). Initial result suggests a positive association between KMM and performance. A cluster analysis is also performed to identify profiles of identified groups of construction organizations.
