Abstract


The purpose of this research was to study the effect of dynamic knowledge management capability on high-performance organizations and organizational performance. The data collection was carried out using questionnaires from 4-5-star hotels in Thailand, for a total of 148 hotels. The data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics followed by Pearson’s correlation analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling. The research results revealed that dynamic knowledge management capability had a positive direct effect on high-performing organizations and a positive indirect effect on organizational performance. Therefore, executives should emphasize the building of dynamic knowledge management capabilities to improve the performance of high-performance organizations, which will lead to performance strength beyond rivals.
