Abstract

![CDATA[Knowledge management processes are important to achieve better performance and development in organizations. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the role of knowledge utilization in enhancing project performance. A conceptual framework of knowledge utilization was developed through the review of relevant literature. The framework regards knowledge utilization as a linear process that starts with knowledge acquisition followed by knowledge conversion, which involves knowledge sharing, generation, and integration. When resolving issues or making decisions in construction project sites, a new knowledge is generated and utilized through knowledge conversion process. The connection between knowledge utilization and project performance is shown in the proposed framework. This framework is useful to determine some issues frequently appear in construction projects such as project delay.]]
