Abstract: This study aims to carry out a comprehensive bibliometric and network analysis of the literature on knowledge management (KM) and organisational performance (OP). Using a dataset of over 5,422 publications from 2012 to 2022, bibliometric methods and R-packages are employed to analyse publication trends, citation patterns, influential sources, authors, institutions, and countries. The findings reveal a sustained interest in KM and OP research, with an average annual growth rate of 5.87% in the number of published documents. The most extensively studied subjects in the field encompass knowledge management, innovation, learning organisations, and organisational culture. Concurrently, nascent areas of interest have emerged with lower frequencies, as reflected by the inclusion of newer keywords such as 'digital transformation', 'Industry 4.0', and 'digital technologies'. This study contributes to the existing literature by offering a comprehensive bibliometric analysis and representing the first holistic analysis on the topic.
