Abstract: The current researches from the management field highlight the radical changes that appeared in the economic environment since knowledge became the key to gaining competitive advantages. Starting from this point, we asked ourselves what is the position that human resources are occupying in a sustainable knowledge-based organisation. In order to find an answer to this question, we developed an ethical and empirical research in which we combined a documentary study with an exploratory research. First, we made a critical analysis of 70 articles that had been published, from 2000 until 2012, in international databases. Then, we developed a survey based on questionnaire which focuses on identifying the characteristics and influence factors of the sustainable knowledge-based organisation. Using a snowball sampling, we collected 268 questionnaires from the Romanian and Spanish knowledge management specialists. The results have showed that a sustainable knowledge-based organisation is an economic and ethical entity in which the activity is planned for short, medium and long-term in order to facilitate the creation, dissemination and use of knowledge and the achievement of economic, social and environmental objectives.
