This article explores the critical role of organizational culture in shaping the relationship between knowledge management and employee performance in Jordan. It looks at how these elements interact to affect organizational success and provides advice on how businesses can use their cultures to strengthen knowledge management procedures and eventually boost worker productivity. This study uses a cross-sectional survey methodology and a quantitative research design. Utilizing both stratified and random selection methods, the sample was chosen. A questionnaire survey was used to collect data for the investigation. There were 370 survey forms handed out, and 266 valid replies were gathered and used in the research. Statistical software called Smart PLS (4.0) was used to evaluate the data that had been gathered. The findings from the study revealed a positive relationship between knowledge management and employee performance. It further highlights the importance of an effective knowledge acquisition, sharing, storage, and application processes. Organizations that invest in knowledge management systems and provide adequate resources for knowledge sharing and learning enable employees to access and apply relevant knowledge, leading to improved job satisfaction, problem-solving abilities, and innovation. Likewise, the moderating role of organizational culture indicates that a strong and supportive culture enhances the impact of knowledge management on employee performance.
