Abstract

The continued development of vibe coding indicates a paradigm shift in how AI-assisted software brings an evolving and significant challenge to established organizational processes, along with knowledge creation practices. Utilizing the established SECI framework associated with organizational knowledge management and creation processes, this paper provides a conceptual examination of the utilization of natural-language-driven and large language model (LLM) content generation influencing knowledge conversion processes in the context of organizational learning practices. Drawing on extant literature, this paper provides an argument that vibe coding indicates the transitional shift in how organizational personnel externalize, combine, and internalize knowledge to advance a foundational perspective of vibe coding and future research considerations.
