Many researchers in the knowledge management area pointed out that leadership is a important factor affected knowledge management. But, research focused on relationship between knowledge management and leadership was very rare. This study analyzes, by qualitative approach of in-depth interviews for employees and CEO of 2 rolled-rated municipalities, relationship between leadership of CEO in local government and knowledge management. The results show that participatory leadership expand opportunity of participation in decision-making of employees in local government, and enable successful knowledge management through free communication among employees. Participatory leadership is positively associated with high levels of employee knowledge management activities.
