“…For example, Jarvenpaa and Staples (2001, p. 156) argue that “greater commitment may engender beliefs that the organization has rights to the information and knowledge one has created or acquired.” Tzu-Shian et al (2010) agree that organizational commitment is conducive to employee knowledge-sharing behaviors, and Jan and Michael (2010) note that active employees encourage greater knowledge sharing. For Alrawi et al (2013), knowledge sharing is more effective with increasing levels of employee involvement. Lin (2007) also reports that organizational commitment relates positively to tacit knowledge sharing.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the influence of organizational commitment and trust on knowledge sharing and on knowledge utilization. Also, the study aims to examine the influence of knowledge sharing on knowledge utilization. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative study was conducted among 307 employees working at Canadian organizations. Findings The results reveal that both affective commitment and professional trust have positive influences on knowledge sharing and knowledge utilization, whereas personal trust and continuance commitment do not. The authors also found that business ethics moderates the relationship between knowledge sharing and knowledge utilization. Practical implications These findings extend the literature on knowledge management and demonstrate, from a practical perspective, that in order to build a knowledge-sharing culture, managers must create conditions that allow affective commitment, professional trust and business ethics to flourish. Originality/value The current study offers an initial investigation of the effects of both kinds of commitment and trust on knowledge sharing and knowledge utilization.

The study provides information on approaches to the problem of ensuring of Food security in the country. The levels and the models of Food security and the theoretical aspects of national Food security are investigated in this research. It was found that there are five levels of Food security that go from total autonomy in the food supply to the total dependence from the exporters. The models also represent the ideas from two different approaches to the economy: Protectionism and Free Market. The strategic goal of Food security is to provide the population of the country with the safe agricultural and fish products. International specialization and cooperation contributes to the achievement of food supply and demand balance that helps to prevent food crises and ensure Food security at the international level. Stability of domestic production, as well as the availability of the necessary resources is the guarantee for achieving of national Food security. This study provides evidence that the competitiveness of national business in food market should be increased to develop Economy and to ensure Food security. This problem could be solved due to the mobilization of competitive advantages of domestic companies. For Russian food and trade companies main competitive advantages are: natural resources, unoccupied territories, production facilities, cheap labor force and cooperation with other Russian organizations and international business. In conclusion it was mentioned that to enhance the food manufacturers' competitive potential it is necessary to create a fair trading environment that ensures Food security for the population and allows Russian manufacturers of different sizes to grow.

“…(ii) (Qku_5) Employees are encouraged to use and create new QIK in their work and report the results of the QIK usage, they are organised using team meeting time to introduce, arrange and examine the implementation activities of the QIK. To encourage employees' active involvement and engagement in knowledge creation, utilisation as well as associated creative activities is an observed practical phenomenon in businesses (Alrawi et al, 2013;Abdullah et al, 2013;Inkinen, 2016). While, the particular highlighted point from this research is that the case MEs have established a formal mechanism for employees to effectively and efficiently share, learn and utilise the up-to-date QIK in their operations activities and processes, which answered the call for the provision of a platform to facilitate employees' interaction in KM process (e.g., Yasir and Majid, 2017).…”

Purpose This paper aims to report findings of up-to-date insights to fill the knowledge gap of lack of theoretical and practical understandings of how knowledge is used in medium-sized enterprises (MEs) for ensuring their performance excellence, healthy survival and growth, particularly using the contextual background of quality improvement as the standing point to concretise the research content and research participants’ mind-set for data collection. Design/methodology/approach The empirical data were attained by conducting first a multiple-case study and thereafter a structured interview. Insights were obtained through analysing the collected data and triangulating the findings with the contention from the extant literature where available. Findings A set of approaches for effective quality improvement knowledge (QIK) utilisation in MEs have been identified and attested, as well as prioritised for a clear guidance on their application by practical businesses. Originality/value As a pioneering study on the particularly focussed issue, namely, a current knowledge gap – QIK utilisation in MEs, theoretically the research contributes to the enrichment of the current KM and QI literature with a primary focus on knowledge utilisation in MEs. Practically its findings provide insightful guidance to practice on the approaches of QIK utilisation.
