Abstract
Knowledge transfer has become an important activity for an organization to sustain its effectiveness. By understanding the factors, it will help organizations to use knowledge transfer as a tool to crate and distribute knowledge among their employees. Consequently, it will assist managers to implement strategies in boosting organizational success, and to sustain superior performance. This paper was undertaken to study the success factors driving the knowledge transfer within an organization, in terms of its effectiveness. Factors of terms of knowledge characteristics, recipient of knowledge, and transfer context were diligently studied. The results reveal that knowledge embeddedness and recipient’s learning culture are positively correlated with knowledge transfer success whereas knowledge distance and norm distance are negatively correlated. However, project size and physical distance have no significant impact on knowledge transfer.
