Influence of knowledge management on management skills in university graduates

Abstract

The study aimed to establish the relationship between knowledge management and managerial skills in graduates from the School of Economics and Microfinance. The present study is descriptive exploratory, with a quantitative approach. The type of research was causal explanatory, and the design was non-experimental with a crosssectional nature. The sample was census-based, consisting of 51 graduates. The survey technique was used for both variables, with the instrument being a questionnaire with multiple choice questions using a Likert scale. The reliability of the instrument, measured by Cronbach's Alpha, was 0.957, indicating high reliability. The results revealed that in the Knowledge Management variable, human capital and structural capital were relevant, with 43.1% and 35.3%, respectively. For the managerial skills variable, technical skills were highly relevant, with a level of 39.2%. The study concludes that knowledge management and managerial skills have a significant association, with a significance value of less than 5%, and a relationship intensity, according to the gamma coefficient, of 0.779, indicating a moderate-to-high level. The Somers' coefficient confirms that 65.3% of managerial skills depend on the knowledge management variable.
