BackgroundThis　study　examines　the　impact　of　knowledge　management　practices　(KMP)　on　job　satisfaction,　focusing　on　the　mediating　roles　of　learning　opportunities　and　communication　quality.　It　aims　to　provide　insights　into　how　effectively　KMP　can　enhance　employee　satisfaction　in　Pakistan＇s　IT　sector.MethodThe　research　utilizes　cross-sectional　data　collected　from　345　IT　sector　employees　in　Pakistan.　A　survey　method　was　employed,　using　a　structured　questionnaire　to　gather　the　necessary　data.　The　data　was　then　analyzed　to　determine　the　relationships　between　KMP,　learning　opportunities,　communication　quality,　and　job　satisfaction.ResultsThe　findings　reveal　that　KMP　has　a　significant　positive　impact　on　job　satisfaction.　Additionally,　KMPs　are　found　to　positively　influence　learning　opportunities　and　communication　quality,　which　in　turn　significantly　contribute　to　job　satisfaction.　The　results　demonstrate　that　learning　opportunities　and　communication　quality　mediate　the　relationship　between　KMP　and　job　satisfaction.DiscussionThis　study　recommends　that　the　IT　sector　in　Pakistan　can　improve　job　satisfaction　by　developing　effective　KMP　that　supports　learning　and　communication　quality.　These　practices　also　enhance　employee　satisfaction　and　are　compatible　with　the　identified　strategic　objectives　of　a　knowledge-based　economy　in　Pakistan＇s　framework.　In　addition,　this　research　extends　the　theoretical　literature　on　the　relationship　between　KMP　and　job　satisfaction,　with　learning　opportunities　and　communication　quality　as　mediating　factors.　It　offers　important　implications　for　IT　firms　and　presents　a　foundation　for　future　studies　to　examine　potential　moderators　and　replicate　these　results　in　other　industries　and　geographies.
