The research confirmed the importance of SC in the context of KS from the resource-based
view. The paper provides empirical evidence that structural, relational, and cognitive SC affected KC and
KD, which in turn influenced organizational performance. Interestingly, whereas cognitive SC has the
strongest effect on employees’ KC, relational SC has the strongest effect on employees’ KD. The impact of
employees’ KC on organizational performance appears to be stronger than that of KD.
