document: Knowledge-based structures and organisational commitment Organisational commitment , the emotional attachment of an employee to the employing organisation , has attracted a substantial body of literature , relating the concept to various antecedents , including organisational structure , and to a range of consequences , including financially important performance factors such as productivity and staff turnover . The new areas of knowledge management and learning organisations offer substantial promise as imperatives for the organisation of business enterprises . As organisations in the contemporary environment adopt knowledge-based structures to improve their competitive position , there is value in examining these structures against other performance related factors . Theoretical knowledge-based structures put forward by R. Miles et al. -LRB- 1997 -RRB- and J. Quinn et al. -LRB- 1996 -RRB- and an existing implementation are examined to determine common features inherent in these approaches . These features are posited as a typical form and their impact on organisational commitment and hence on individual and organisational performance is examined
