DOI: 10.17013/risti.22.1-19Knowledge management is a very important way of creating competitive dynamics in the market. This paper proposes a structural adoption model, in which "Ba", defined here, as the existence of a knowledge-sharing environment, is determinant in the adoption of organizational knowledge management systems (KMS). This model was validated through a survey within a real organizational context of a telecommunications company. Results showed that Ba, through the tacit organizational tasks, is a significant factor in the perception of the ease of use and therefore a determinant factor in the adoption of KMS.19434769porBaKMSKnowledge management systemsKnowledge sharingOrganizationTacit taskGeneral Computer Sciencejournal article10.17013/risti.22.1-19https://www.scopus.com/record/display.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85032009308&origin=resultslist&sort=plf-f&src=s&st1=A+determinant+factor+in+knowledge+management+systems%27+use&st2=&sid=91545498bbe0b78a5b1c97d467ae7396&sot=b&sdt=b&sl=64&s=TITLE%28A+determinant+factor+in+knowledge+management+systems%27+use%29&relpos=0&citeCnt=0&searchTerm=
