Abstract
This study sheds light on how the knowledge management (KM) revolution contributed in evolving the governmental performance in Bahrain since few decades. The study was essential to contribute to the limited literature and establish possible contributions that KM has made in the government sector in Bahrain. Hence, a quantitative research followed an adopted survey; piloted through a non-structured in-depth interview, for testing the credibility of this study’s adopted framework. The collected data was analyzed and revealed that KM in Bahrain was at 50%, though such initiatives significantly affect innovation. In terms of responsiveness, this study found out that those who recorded less information retrieval time had also recorded a high maturity level, and that KM was found to be significant in supporting Bahrain vision 2030. In this vein, the study revealed a strong correlation between competitiveness and KM, since KM enhances management of human capital, vital for Bahrain’s economy. Precisely, the study confirmed that a knowledge creation and management lead to economic transformation from the traditional to a knowledge-based sector. Study recommendations aim for the government to plan for the upcoming organizations amidst stiff competition.
