Abstract: The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of organizational culture on knowledge management in public elementary, secondary, and middle schools in the department of Caquetá, Colombia, based on the perceptions of managers, teachers, and administrative staff. A quantitative and correlational scope approach methodology was applied through a confirmatory factor analysis based on the use of structural equations in the SMARPLS software versión 4.0.9.7. The population under study comprised teachers, managers, and administrative staff, with a total of 362 respondents belonging to these public educational institutions. Evaluating the fundamental components of the studied constructs made it possible to show the significant influence of organizational culture on knowledge management, in which a well-structured culture takes institutional objectives that improve the processes of the creation, storage, and dissemination of knowledge into account, thus ensuring the sustainability and operational efficiency of the institution. In the specific context of the education sector, the impact and contributions of this research can be significant and timely for planning educational management in public elementary, secondary, and middle schools based on the recognized importance of knowledge management for public policy. In addition, educational institutions can be studied using theories that are usually applied in the business context, thus enhancing replicability, not only from the perspectives of education and pedagogy but also from an administrative point of view.
