Since there has been a paucity of empirical research on the impact of knowledge risks on firm sustainability so far, this paper aims to contribute to the development of this strand by analysing the relationship between knowledge risks and firm sustainability, with knowledge management capabilities as a mediating variable. A structured questionnaire was validated and administered to a sample of 100 companies operating in several sectors.The hypotheses test was performed through a structural equation model, and the results were consistent with previous studies that found a negative effect of knowledge risks on firms’ sustainability performance. The hypothesised mediating effect of knowledge management capabilities was supported as well.

Abstract
Since there has been a paucity of empirical research on the impact of knowledge risks on firm sustainability so far, this paper aims to contribute to the development of this strand by analysing the relationship between knowledge risks and firm sustainability, with knowledge management capabilities as a mediating variable. A structured questionnaire was validated and administered to a sample of 100 companies operating in several sectors.The hypotheses test was performed through a structural equation model, and the results were consistent with previous studies that found a negative effect of knowledge risks on firms’ sustainability performance. The hypothesised mediating effect of knowledge management capabilities was supported as well.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
