The study used a cross-sectional survey to obtain data from 204 academic staff randomly sampled from state-owned universities in Delta State, Nigeria. The partial least squares method was applied to treat and analyze the data collected with the help of SmartPLS 4 software. The analysis revealed that knowledge sharing, creation, and acquisition were positively and significantly related to employee performance. Furthermore, the mediation role of thriving was also confirmed. In conclusion, personal knowledge management activities comprising knowledge sharing, knowledge creation, and knowledge acquisition, directly and indirectly, affected employee performance through thriving at work.
