Studying of knowledge management and information literacy with organizational entrepreneurship in Uzbekistan’s knowledge-based companies

Abstract. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between knowledge management and information literacy with organizational entrepreneurship among knowledge-based companies in Uzbekistan. The present study was descriptive-correlational and data were collected from 245 employees of knowledge-based companies in 2024. The results of this study showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between knowledge management and organizational entrepreneurship (r = 0.682). Also, there is a positive and significant relationship between information literacy and organizational entrepreneurship (r = 0.645). Regression analysis showed that these two variables explain a total of 51.9% of the variance in organizational entrepreneurship, in which the contribution of knowledge management (β = 0.405) was more than that of information literacy (β = 0.328). Among the different dimensions, the components of knowledge creation and information identification obtained the highest average. These findings emphasize the necessity of simultaneously strengthening knowledge management and information literacy as key factors in the development of organizational entrepreneurship.
