Abstract: This study investigated the perceptions of business managers in the furniture sector regarding the relationship between personnel knowledge and business success. A quantitative research approach was used to collect data from business managers working in different furniture sectors in District Chiniot, Lahore, and Gujrat. The study utilized a Likert scale to measure the responses and Structural Equation Model (SEM) to analyse the data. The findings revealed that certain management practices, including safety, laws, motivation of personnel, total quality management, product certification, and competitive positioning, had a significant impact on both personnel knowledge and business success. Furthermore, the study found that factors such as new product development, sales abilities, competitive positioning, and product pricing were highly associated with changes in business success. The study recommends that businesses focus on training their owners first to enhance their employees' skills, which will ultimately lead to increased productivity and highlight the importance of skill development.
