ABSTRACT

This research examines the relationship between knowledge management and innovation within Thai state enterprise organizations. The moderator of this study is the type of Thai state enterprise organizations. Data collection utilizes an online questionnaire that is responded to by employees involved in knowledge management and innovation activities within Thai state enterprise organizations that received awards for excellence in creativity and innovation in the years 2021-2022, totaling 12 organizations. A total of 279 complete questionnaires were analyzed. The research hypotheses were tested using linear regression analysis, and the moderation effect was analyzed using the PROCESS Macro. The research findings indicate that 1) Knowledge management positively influences organizational innovation, and 2) The type of Thai state enterprise organization moderates the relationship between knowledge management and innovation, with lower knowledge management ability resulting in greater innovation capability among different types of Thai state enterprise organizations. Additionally, it was found that Thai state enterprise organizations in the public utilities sector have a lower ability to innovate than organizations in the other sectors, respectively. These findings benefit both private and Thai state enterprise organizations in guiding strategies to enhance knowledge management and innovation competitiveness.
