The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of knowledge management practices on organizational performance in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) using structural equation modeling (SEM). A number of 282 senior managers from these enterprises were chosen using simple random sampling and the data were analyzed with the structural equation model. The results showed that knowledge acquisition, knowledge storage, knowledge creation, knowledge sharing, and knowledge implementation have significant factor loading on knowledge management; and also productivity, financial performance, staff performance, innovation, work relationships, and customer satisfaction have significant factor loading on organizational performance. Finally, the results of this study suggest that knowledge management practices directly influence the organizational performance of SMEs.
