許多研究指出現今為知識型的社會,企業與組織開始也近年來也逐漸重視知識創造與分享同時也擬定策略鼓勵員工創造知識。創新是當今企業的成功要素之一,成功的企業能夠快速創造新的知識且有效率的傳遞進而快速的因應環境的變遷,員工創造知識與利用知識的能力也被視為企業的一大競爭優勢。人力資源管理為知識創造一大重要因素,有鑑於此,本研究以國內實施知識管理的製造業公司為對象針對人力資源管理部門主管進行個案訪談與分析,以探討知識創造與人力資源管理互動之關係。
本研究發現人力資源管理對於知識創造具有相當的關連性與影響力，特別是教育訓練與酬薪獎酬兩個子系統與知識創造擁有密切的關係,個案公司亦會利用人力資源管理系統提升員工創造知識之意願。

A growing number of research have shown that we live in the society which is shifting to a “ knowledge society” and knowledge become more and more important in organizations. People start to think about innovation in organizations such as strategy or organization innovation and product innovation. People start to investigate how the organizations create their new knowledge and the knowledge creation process. Human resource management is also important to knowledge creation. Based on this perspective, we use interview of from manufacturing industry in Taiwan to explore the linkage between knowledge creation and human resource management.
In this research, we found that human resource management is highly related to knowledge creation especially for training system and compensation system and the corporations in our research will also use human resource management to encourage their employees to create knowledge.
