To describe health and social care managers' self-assessed competence in knowledge management and the factors associated with management competence.
It has been shown that the performance of an organization is as good as the competence of its managers, so health and social care managers' competence in knowledge management should be assessed to improve organizational performance.
A descriptive cross-sectional design.
A total of 116 managers participated from six Finnish public health and social care organizations. The data were collected in February and August 2022 using the managers' competence in knowledge management (MCKM) instrument and analysed using descriptive statistical methods.
Health and social care managers rated their self-reported total competence in knowledge management as good. Among the dimensions of knowledge management competence, managing a culture of competence received the highest rating, while planning competence development and cooperation was perceived as the weakest dimension. The results indicate that background factors such as the healthcare setting, the number of units managed and the number of direct staff had a statistically significant association with the health and social care managers' self-assessed competence in planning competence development and cooperation.
Even though the health and social care managers' total self-assessed competence level in knowledge management was rated as good, the results underscore the significance of continuous competence development among these managers in all dimensions of knowledge management.
By enhancing and clarifying managers' tasks and competence in knowledge management, managers can increase staff retention, attractiveness and work well-being.
The results can be utilized to identify managers' strengths and weaknesses in knowledge management and, thus, effectively target their limited competence development resources.

描述卫生和社会护理管理人员在知识管理方面的自我评估能力以及与管理能力相关的因素。
研究表明，组织的绩效与其管理人员的能力相当，因此应评估卫生和社会护理管理人员在知识管理方面的能力，以提高组织绩效。
描述性横断面设计。
共有116名管理人员来自芬兰的六个公共卫生和社会护理组织。2022年2月和8月使用管理人员知识管理能力（MCKM）工具收集数据，并使用描述性统计方法进行分析。
卫生和社会护理管理人员将他们自我报告的知识管理总体能力评为良好。在知识管理能力的各个维度中，管理能力文化获得的评分最高，而规划能力发展与合作被认为是最薄弱的维度。结果表明，诸如医疗环境、管理的单位数量和直接下属数量等背景因素与卫生和社会护理管理人员在规划能力发展与合作方面的自我评估能力存在统计学上的显著关联。
尽管卫生和社会护理管理人员在知识管理方面的总体自我评估能力水平被评为良好，但结果强调了这些管理人员在知识管理的各个维度中持续能力发展的重要性。
通过加强和明确管理人员在知识管理方面的任务和能力，管理人员可以提高员工保留率、吸引力并改善工作幸福感。
这些结果可用于识别管理人员在知识管理方面的优势和劣势，从而有效地将其有限的能力发展资源用于目标明确的方向。
