The Role of Leaders in Knowledge Management: A Study on Hospitality Enterprises
Öz
Knowledge management is a strategic process that governs the creation, dissemination, and utilization of information within an organization. In the context of hotel operations, effective knowledge management practices enable organizations to gain a competitive advantage by providing employees with accurate and comprehensive information regarding customer preferences and service procedures. To fully realize these benefits, it is essential to establish mechanisms that facilitate the flow of knowledge within the organization, enhance performance, and ensure its optimal utilization, supported by leaders who actively promote and manage knowledge effectively.
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between knowledge management and leadership roles in accommodation enterprises. Specifically, the study examines the interplay between leadership competencies and leadership roles and explores how these roles contribute to the effectiveness of knowledge management practices.
The empirical component of the study focuses on four- and five-star hotels in and around İzmir, analyzing both the approaches to knowledge management and the role of leadership within this process. A quantitative research design was adopted, with data collected through face-to-face surveys administered to hotel employees included in the study sample.
The findings indicate that leaders play a critical role in facilitating knowledge sharing and utilization within organizations. When leaders actively support and sustain knowledge management initiatives, the likelihood of successful implementation increases significantly. Moreover, the study reveals that sustained and well-supported knowledge management practices positively influence both employee performance and overall organizational effectiveness.
