| dc.description.abstract | The Government of Kenya has made efforts to transform the National Police Service into a contemporary, energetic organization with the resources and expertise to meet the demands of modern policing. Despite these efforts, there have still been rising insecurity issues. More than 58% of Kenyan residents, according to a poll by Transparency International, are dissatisfied with the way that police personnel in Kenya provide their services. According to the literature, conversion-oriented knowledge management procedures are ones that focus on maximizing the value of already-existing data. The ability of the organization to organize, integrate, join, structure, assist, or distribute learning is one of the processes that enables organizational transformation into better performance. Accordingly, this study focused on assessing the influence of knowledge conversion on the performance of the NPS in Nairobi city county, Kenya. The study’s approach was guided by the organizational knowledge creation theory. The study used descriptive research approach to conduct the research. The target population comprised of police officers in sixteen sub counties in Nairobi City County with a total of 7,875 police officers.

The study revealed that knowledge conversion had a positive significant effect on the performance of the national police service in Nairobi City County, Kenya. This is achieved through socialization, internationalization, externalization and combination. The study recommended that the National Police Service should consider enhancing practices associated with the different elements of knowledge conversion such as externalization, combination, socialization and internalization | |
