Abstract: Today, the company is becoming more and more aware of the immense power of knowledge, the stakes of which are becoming more and more crucial. However, acquiring, developing and maintaining competitive advantage from internal resources and skills remains the overarching goal for every organization. It is for this reason that it is necessary to put in place a strategic plan for the application of knowledge. This research focuses on the efforts made by companies in terms of knowledge management processes in order to implement innovative solutions. The objective of this research is part of this perspective and aims to examine the relationship between the application of knowledge and organizational innovation by highlighting the mediating effect of innovative capabilities. To determine this relationship, a quantitative method was adopted using a total of 252 Tunisian senior managers. The results of the structural equation analysis reveal the existence of a significant influence of knowledge management on both types of technical and administrative organizational innovation. Key Words:Knowledge application; Knowledge management; Innovativeness; Technical innovation; Administrative innovation
