Abstract: This research aims to study organizational characteristics and factors that have effects on the success of knowledge management in Thai agribusiness organisations. Questionnaires were used as a data collection instrument and 400 questionnaires were sent to selected agribusiness organizations in Thailand. Descriptive and inferential statistics were conducted for data analysis. The highest number of responders was the organizations with the registered capitals of more than 50 million Baht, operation period of more than 15 years, Thai nationality, and the number of employees of 101-500 persons. Preliminary results from questionnaires indicated that overall opinion on factors affecting the success of knowledge management was at the ?High? important level, and the first highest scores on organizational, personal, and knowledge management process factors were technology, motivation, and knowledge application, respectively.Hypothesis tests indicate that differences in organizational characteristics (i.e., registered capitals, operation period, nationality, and the number of employees) affect the success of knowledge management in Thai agribusiness organization differently at a significance level of 0.05. Moreover, organizational, personal and knowledge management process factors have linear relationships with overall success of knowledge management.
