A STUDY OF KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT INFRASTRUCTURE CAPABILITY, RELIGIOSITY AND HIGHER EDUCATION PERFORMANCE IN KOLEJ UNIVERSITI ISLAM PAHANG SULTAN AHMAD SHAH

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the indirect impact of religiosity on knowledge management
infrastructure capability and perceived private higher education institutions’ (PHEI) performance.
Specifically, this study took place in Kolej Universiti Islam Pahang Sultan Ahmad Shah (KUIPSAS),
Kuantan, with the participation of 37 academicians. Four hypotheses were generated to test the causal
and moderating effect. This research is quantitative in nature and SmartPLS 3.0 was employed as the
analytical tool. It is found that structure infrastructure significantly influences perceived KUIPSAS’
performance (β=0.428). Conspicuously, no links were found between technology, culture and
religiosity with perceived KUIPSAS’ performance. Furthermore, no significant association is found in
religiosity as a moderating variable between knowledge management infrastructure capability and
KUIPSAS performance. The theoretical and practical implications are further discussed.
