Abstract
Human resources (HR) and knowledge management (KM) practices are inevitable for the performance optimization of
organizations. At the same time, successful HR and KM practices can lead to innovation, creativity, organizational learning, productivity
and knowledge sharing, among others. In view of this, this paper discusses the impact of HR elements on KM practices in institutions of
learning in Nigeria, in line with the challenges militating against successful HR and KM strategies and prospects. It was revealed, in this
paper, that institutions of learning in Nigeria are yet to define and streamline the relationship between HR and KM to achieve knowledge
sharing, dissemination and distribution across institutions due to some challenges discussed in this paper. In conclusion, based on the
challenges militating against successful HR and KM practices in Nigeria’s institutions of learning, policy interventions have been suggested
for stakeholders in Government and Administrators in these Institutions.
