Objective. In the contemporary organizational context sharing and knowledge transfer play a significant role and it is therefore important to overcome the internal and external barriers for processing. This can be facilitated by the implementation of Knowledge Governance (GovC), an emerging interdisciplinary approach that goes through the fields of knowledge management, organizational studies, strategy and human resources management. The problem is that, besides being a new construct and still little studied in Brazil, conceptual differences are fed by the breadth of possible dimensions of analysis. In this context, the objective of this study is to identify the conceptualization of the Knowledge Governance construct proposed in the scientific literature to support its better understanding and to base future research in the area of knowledge management
Method. For this, a theoretical research was carried out through a systematic review of the literature, followed by bibliometric and descriptive analysis of the most relevant publications on the subject.
Results. The objective was achieved and it is possible to identify the conceptualization, besides the principles and mechanisms of GovC proposed in the literature.
Conclusions. It is considered the discussion about the relevant GovC construct in the context of contemporary organizations, however, it indicates the importance of future empirical and theoretical studies in order to foment the discussions on the subject nowadays.
