Abstract

This paper aims for verify the role of knowledge management as a mediator in the relationship between organizational memory building and human resource management to develop high education institutions into human resource management organizations. In this study, the researchers relied on empirical study to test the relationship between the variables. Therefore, a survey questionnaire was conducted. The study population consisted of faculty members in Palestinian universities, whose number is (7,367) members. The study sample consisted of (360) professors from Palestinian universities. The results show that the mediating variable (KM) affects the dependent variable (HRM) by (0.675); and it is statistically significant at a significance level less than (0.001). Including the independent variable (OM) in the same model, its effect on the dependent variable (HRM) vanished, and the value of the statistical significance became (0.051).
