| dc.description.abstract | The use of knowledge management to improve organizational performance is becoming
increasingly viable, particularly in light of the quick advancement of technology.
Building capacities for improved disaster response as well as preventing humanitarian
crises are two important roles that knowledge management may play. It can also enhance
communication and collaboration during emergencies. This research assessed the impact
of knowledge management strategies on the activities of specific humanitarian
organizations operating in Marsabit County, Kenya. The study was guided by the
following objectives: to determine the effects of knowledge storage on specific
humanitarian organizations operating in Marsabit County, Kenya; to ascertain the effects
of knowledge acquisition, dissemination, and utilization on performance; and to assess
the effects of knowledge storage on performance. The study drew on Human Capital
Theory, Knowledge-Based View Theory, and Dynamic Capabilities theory. A
descriptive research design was used, and the target population consisted of 386
employees working in the selected humanitarian organizations in Marsabit County. The
participant pool, consisting of 112 respondents, was established utilizing the Yamane
formula. Direct data was gathered via questionnaires, implemented through the drop off/pick-up technique to engage with the respondents. The accumulated data was
translated into a numerical format to facilitate analysis with the assistance of SPSS
software. Utilized methodologies encompassed descriptive statistics, featuring average
and standard deviation, and inferential statistical techniques like correlation analysis and
multiple linear regression. Many tables and graphic representations are used to display
the results, which are then followed by a thorough analysis of the data. The study
discovered that staff members learned how to perform their jobs by learning new ideas
and information creation techniques, and that humanitarian organizations encouraged
functional heads to support the acquisition of new knowledge. Additionally, respondents
stated that humanitarian organizations planned seminars to share knowledge about
contemporary workplace practices, and staff members received training on various tasks
related to different jobs in order to disseminate knowledge. Humanitarian organizations
used the knowledge acquired to better staff management at work, used the knowledge
collected to improve internal processes, and gained insight into conducting work
operations. The work processes of the service board were stored in an appropriate manner
had enough data processor for data storage and access. | en_US |
