  Knowledge Management and Human Resources Management are two significant fields in Organization Management. Despite the vast literature available on each of them, their putting into practice is indeed challenging. On the one hand, Knowledge Management is considered as an additional work procedure in some organizations mainly due to the intangibility of the value which it adds to the system in the short run. On the other hand, in some other organizations, Human Resources Management is reduced to personnel management and handling the employees official tasks. Therefore its principles such as employees' performance appraisal, leading in most cases to the achievement of organizational goals, are exploited as a means for either encouraging or punishing the employees. This research aims at defining a framework, through studying the different aspects of Knowledge Management and Human Resources Management, in which these two fields interactively produce a combinatory system which helps them effectively flourish and brings about their overlapping so that they can compensate for each field's deficiencies.
