Abstract Knowledge management and organizational structure are of utmost importance for organizations to stay competitive in today’s constantly changing markets. This paper aims to study the relationship between knowledge management and organizational structure using a bibliometric analysis. 296 publications were selected from the Web of Science database for this research and analyzed with VosViewer and Biblioshiny software. The analyses focused on identifying the general academic performance, as well as the thematic and social structure of the academic knowledge in this field. The results have highlighted that China dominates the field in terms of production, the UK in terms of sources, and The US in terms of impact (article, author, and institution-wise). The keyword co-occurrence analysis highlighted a strong connection between knowledge management, organizational structure, and performance. The social structure proved to have China and the US at the top, with the strongest collaboration link and highlighted that the UK has not yet collaborated with the US. The novelty of the current research lies in the insights it provides into the studied topic which could facilitate global managers’ development of new strategies focused on the highlighted connections between keywords and on the relationships between researcher bodies.
