Analysing the data using structural equation modeling in Mpus (8.10), the study found that all the proposed hypotheses were supported. The study extends literature on different streams such as knowledge management enablers, organizational culture and organizational effectiveness and offers valuable practical insights for policy makers and university management to effectively create, disseminate and manage knowledge.
