DIMENSIONS OF KQ
• Intrinsic KQ – knowledge has quality by virtue of itself.
• Contextual KQ – considers the knowledge that is associated with the context of the task at hand.
• Actionable KQ – refers to the extent to which knowledge is expandable, adaptable, or simply applied to tasks.

DIMENSIONS OF KQ .. cont’
• Accessibility KQ – refers to the degree of flexibility, ease of use, and ease of access.
Proposition 1: KQ is a second order factor model of intrinsic KQ, contextual KQ, actionable KQ, and accessibility KQ.

• Organizational structure – how tasks are organized and people are coordinated. An organization with leaner structure is likely to have high degree of KQ.
• Organizational culture – “the way we do things..” A friendly organizational culture may provide a significant effect on the sense making processes of employees.
