Abstract

The study aims to develop a research model to identify the requirements of knowledge management in the mining sector from the perspective of employees, by examining the relationship between knowledge management requirements (organizational culture, management leadership, organizational structure and information technology) and the application of knowledge management in the mining sector, in order to determine the reality of knowledge management requirements in Jordanian phosphate in the development, management, production and manufacture of phosphates resulting in more efficient production, while the study made several recommendations, such as holding a series of workshops and conferences to introduce a knowledge management culture, designing a central database in various sectors, including the mining industry, to store and exchange knowledge, focusing on infrastructure and technology and allocating financial and intellectual resources. This is to establish effective communication networks in the mining sector.
