ABSTRACT
Despite voluminous studies on knowledge utilization, we can easily find that empirical studies in the area of knowledge utilization have suffered from several critical problems. Most importantly, there appears to be serious conceptual and methodological gaps that need to be filled. Further, the knowledge utilization field gives remarkably little attention to the systematic accumulation of knowledge from research studies. The purpose of this study is to critically examine studies from the 1990s and to see how they cope with
the issue of measuring knowledge utilization and to offer some suggestions for future studies. In this regard, this study focuses on the two questions: What conceptual work has been done in the area of knowledge utilization over the past ten years? What have been the major advances in the area of measuring knowledge utilization? An in-depth analysis of research studies shows that the studies done in the 1990s made little conceptual advancement. Consequently, the field of knowledge utilization still needs to improve methodology, especially clarifying the concept of use and developing relevant measures of it. As an alternative way of measuring knowledge utilization this study offers a process approach.
