Refining Corporate Governance finished the Use of Knowledge Management and Ethical Practices

Abstract

This study applies a sector-specific perspective to examine the influence of Knowledge Management (KM) systems on corporate accountability and ethics. Growing scholarly attention has emphasized the capacity of KM to enhance organizational outcomes, yet its implications for ethical governance remain underexplored. This research addresses that gap by focusing on governance dimensions such as ethical decision-making, transparency, accountability, and regulatory compliance.

Adopting a mixed-methods approach, the study integrates quantitative analyses—including regression, correlation, ANOVA, —with qualitative techniques such as case studies and semi-structured interviews. This methodological combination provides a comprehensive understanding of how KM practices shape governance and ethical performance across organizational contexts.

Findings indicate that organizations with more advanced KM implementations demonstrate stronger ethical practices, greater transparency, and more robust governance mechanisms. The results suggest that effective KM fosters an environment where knowledge sharing, data accessibility, and active employee engagement reinforce ethical conduct and accountability.
