Findings: The results from the study revealed that there were significant relationships between employee values and knowledge management.

The findings can be used by human resources and knowledge management practitioners who are interested in developing organizational knowledge through employees’ values. Originality: Through this study, the positive roles of employee instrumental and terminal values, as the key drivers in determining intangible assets in organizations, were found. 2019-10-02T00:00:00Z Text Journal contribution 2134/37407 https://figshare.com/articles/journal_contribution/Analyzing_the_influence_of_employee_values_on_knowledge_management_in_sport_organizations/9629837 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
