Introduction

Knowledge management (KM) is set activities of discovering, capturing, sharing and applying knowledge for increase knowledge with effective budget in order to achieve organization objectives (Bercerra-Fernandez & Sabherwal, 2004; Jasimuddin, Klein, & Connell, 2005).). Otherwise (Turban, Aronson, & Liang, 2005) claimed that knowledge management process can be used for problem solving, strategic planning and decision making. It also can enhance organizational intellectual capital which is contains of human capital, structure capital and organizational capital.

Some previous study states knowledge as one of human capital element, which is a basis of individual experiences and skills (Anne-lise & Nathalie, 2011; Baron & Armstrong, 2007; Boroujerdi, Siadat, Hoveida, & Khani, 2014).

Therefore knowledge management concept become trends in organizational management development program, because in this new management era, managing knowledge as an intangible asset is very important. Some organization which is aware of their knowledge starts to think about it seriously. Align with (Dalkir, 2005), which is said that knowledge management can keep losing organizational knowledge, because this concept are used for combine data, information and knowledge both explicit and tacit knowledge.

Nowadays, government start to open mind about knowledge management concept since new regulation of civil servant which changes management concept of civil servant become states apparatus management based merit system. It makes greater opportunities to manage the state apparatus become a professional based on their qualification, competency and performance align with their organizational objectives. .

Knowledge management model can unify knowledge management strategy and organization business process strategy in order to reach organizations goals. Currently, there is no government knowledge management model for Indonesia, whereas it really urgent to overcome some challenges above.
