ABSTRACT
This study examined the determinants of Knowledge Management Orientation (KMO) in industrial firms within Faridabad District, utilizing primary data gathered from 200 employees across 20 companies. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) utilized the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) metric to establish sample adequacy, while Bartlett’s Test affirmed the dataset's appropriateness for factor extraction. The analysis identified nine critical dimensions influencing KMO: knowledge sharing and protection culture, knowledge creation and collaborative innovation, knowledge protection and security orientation, knowledge storage and accessibility, knowledge utilization and application, knowledge creation and innovative problem-solving, knowledge application and decision-oriented performance, technology-enabled knowledge storage and retrieval, and knowledge accessibility and open sharing. The nine aspects jointly underscore the multifaceted
essence of KMO, wherein companies reconcile openness with safety, cultivate innovation, utilize technology, guarantee accessibility, and prioritize the pragmatic application of information. The results augment the existing literature on knowledge management by providing empirical evidence that structured and secure knowledge practices improve organizational performance, competitiveness, and innovation capability within the industrial sector.
