Abstract: Abstract Knowledge management (KM) and human resources management (HRM) are increasingly regarded as key leveler of competitive advantage and are one of key areas for management in recovering markets especially in knowledge-based economies. Combination of KM process and organizational skills and intellectual capital as a strategic organizational asset enables the increases of organizational effectiveness. Human resources, employees and their effective managing are essential for the company, and the people’s most valuable resource is knowledge; therefore, HRM and KM are closely interrelated. In this paper, mutual impacts between knowledge management and human resources management are explained based on theoretical findings, and as a result, a preliminary model assessing the impact of human resources issues on knowledge management is presented. In the model, HRM is observed from two aspects: (1) functions which are derived from the ‘best fit’ among ‘recruitment and selection of employees, training and development and performance appraisal’ and (2) effective factors which are ‘empowerment, quality of work, culture, individual factors and learning’.
