Background: Universities learn, change, and sustain thanks to knowledge management. Physical therapy faculties in Egypt have grown rapidly, but not much is known about how their knowledge management practices help in their organizational sustainability.
Methods: This cross-sectional study examined the influence of four knowledge management dimensions—generation and development, codification, sharing, and utilization—on organizational sustainability within 37 active faculties of physical therapy. A total of 301 academics from various ranks participated in a validated online questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, multiple linear regression, and Pearson correlations were performed.
Results: Overall, respondents reported moderately high levels of knowledge management and sustainability. The regression model elucidated 75.3% of the variance in organizational sustainability, identifying knowledge utilization and knowledge codification as the predominant predictors, while knowledge generation and development also contributed significantly. However, knowledge sharing did not significantly forecast sustainability. A positive strong relationship was found between all four dimensions and organizational sustainability.
Conclusion: These findings emphasize that universities enhance their sustainability by systematically generating, organizing, and applying knowledge in routine academic activities. Egyptian physical therapy faculties must strengthen knowledge management to remain competitive and contribute to national and global development goals.
Keywords: Knowledge management, Organizational sustainability, Physical therapy, Higher education.
