KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT FOR ENHANCING LEARNING ORGANIZATIONS IN UNIVERSITY STUDENT AFFAIRS ADMINISTRATION: PERSPECTIVES FROM FOSHAN CITY

Abstract

In the era of digital transformation and the knowledge based economy, student affairs administration in universities has gradually shifted from traditional experience based management to a knowledge intensive, student centered, and learning oriented model. The quality and efficiency of student affairs are increasingly dependent on systematic knowledge management and continuous organizational learning. This study aims to explore the knowledge management factors that affect the construction of a learning organization in student affairs administration. Based on theories of knowledge management, organizational learning, and learning organization, this study combines empirical evidence and practical analysis to examine the influences of knowledge acquisition, knowledge storage, knowledge sharing, and knowledge application on learning organization construction. The results show that the four dimensions of knowledge management have significant positive predictive effects on the formation and development of a learning organization. Meanwhile, leadership support, organizational culture, digital infrastructure, and incentive mechanisms play significant moderating roles in the relationship between knowledge management and learning organization. On this basis, this study proposes a series of integrated strategies to improve knowledge management practices and promote learning-oriented team building in student affairs. The conclusions of this study can not only enrich the theoretical research of educational administration but also provide practical references for universities to promote the professional, digital, and high-quality development of student affairs administration.
