description Companies today aim to adapt to rapidly changing business environments by acquiring knowledge, developing dynamic capabilities, fostering market innovations, and ensuring sustainability. Achieving these goals requires a supportive company culture aligned with its structure and strategy. This study proves the critical role of company culture in sustainability based on a sample of 496 Polish knowledge workers, using structural equation modeling and ordinary least squares (OLS) regression analysis methods.The results showed that KLC culture synergy fosters knowledge sharing (both tacit and explicit), which is vital for dynamic capabilities development and, in turn, influences organizational intelligence, innovativeness, and, finally, sustainability.The given evidence that collective organizational intelligence is rooted in company culture and strengthened by the KLC approach changes the perception of company culture, transforms its apprehension into a precious organizational resource, and prioritizes new study paths regarding its implementation.
