Abstract :

The present study seeks to assess the impact of information interactive recovery on the knowledge management process of faculty members of Gilan University of Medical Sciences, The present study is an applied by survey method. The research population is 452 faculty members of Gilan University of Medical Sciences, which based on Morgan table, the sample population was 208. Data collection tools were two researcher-made questionnaires, based on Belkin, Fong and Choi models. Data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential methods, and included frequency, frequency percentage, frequency distribution table, mean and standard deviation, confirmatory factor analysis, Grunbach's Alpha, regression, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Data analysis software version 24 and Amos were used to analyze the data. Pearson correlation test was used to investigate the relationship between interactive information retrieval and knowledge management. Findings showed that dimensions (representation, comparison, representation, leadership, and visualization) are involved in interactive retrieval, and are known as factors affecting knowledge management, in addition, factors (knowledge acquisition, knowledge creation, Knowledge retention, knowledge distribution, knowledge application) also have an impact on knowledge management, among which knowledge distribution has the most, and knowledge retention has the least impact. The results showed that interactive retrieval of information and all its dimensions have a positive and significant relationship and a direct impact on the knowledge management process of faculty members of Gilan University of Medical Sciences, and then compared the most, and then the least influential factor were identified.
