  "abstract": "Background: Knowledge management plays a vital role in healthcare organizations byboosting how knowledge is created, stored, disseminated, and applied. For nurses, effectiveknowledge management directly influences both job satisfaction and retention, as itempowers them with the tools, information, and concurrent culture needed to thrive inchallenging clinical environments. Aim: This study aimed to investigate associationbetween knowledge management, nurses’ retention and job satisfaction. Subjects andMethod: A descriptive correlational study design and a convenience sample was employed,consisting of 440 nurses working at University Hospital in Damietta Governorate, Egypt.Three tools were used for data collection: Knowledge Management Assessment Instrument,The Revised Casey Fink Nurses’ Retention Survey and Job Satisfaction Scale. Results andConclusion: Knowledge management demonstrated a strong positive relationship withnurse retention and a moderate positive relationship with job satisfaction, while the strongestrelationship was observed between nurse retention and job satisfaction (p < .001).Knowledge management was also a statistically significant positive predictor of both jobsatisfaction and nurse retention. Educational background, promotion experiences, andtraining experiences were significantly associated with the study variables.Recommendations: Nursing administrators should strengthen knowledge-managementsystems, particularly knowledge dissemination and application, and provide structuredprofessional development, mentoring, training, and career-advancement opportunities tosupport nurses’ job satisfaction and retention. Future longitudinal and intervention-basedstudies are recommended to determine whether improvements in knowledge-managementpractices lead to sustained improvements in job satisfaction and actual nurse retention.",
