  • Abstract:
  • This study investigates the impact of knowledge management practices on the performance of Pentecostal churches in southwest Nigeria. Employing a cross-sectional survey design with quantitative methods, the research targeted Pentecostal churches headquartered in Lagos State. A sample frame of ten churches was selected, with fifteen members from each church, resulting in 150 respondents. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire addressing knowledge creation, sharing, storage, and application. A pilot test indicated high instrument reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.865). Multiple regression analysis, conducted using SPSS software, revealed that knowledge management practices significantly influence both membership growth and community development. For membership growth, the model explained 31.1% of the variance, with knowledge creation, sharing, storage, and application all showing significant positive effects. Specifically, knowledge creation (B = .082), sharing (B = .091), storage (B = .094), and application (B = .088) were found to positively impact membership growth. Similarly, for community development, the model accounted for 24.7% of the variance, with significant contributions from knowledge creation (B = .021), sharing (B = .048), storage (B = .033), and application (B = .055). The findings align with previous research, highlighting the crucial role of knowledge management in enhancing organizational performance. The study recommends that Pentecostal church leaders prioritize strategies for effective knowledge creation, sharing, storage, and application to foster membership growth and community development. Future research should explore moderating or mediating factors such as organizational culture, leadership, and technological infrastructure to further elucidate the relationship between knowledge management practices and church outcomes.
