Abstract :
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between knowledge management and efficiency with a mediating effect of organizational culture in Lamerd IAU. The study population included all faculty members (n=105) of Islamic Azad University of Lamerd. This correlational study involved three standardized questionnaires of knowledge management (Haddad, 2006), organizational culture (Denison, 2000), and efficiency (Smith, et. al., 1998) with reliability indexes of 0.83, 0.76, 0.87 respectively. The results of the regression analysis (Baron & Kenny, 1986) suggested that knowledge management could positively predict organizational culture and efficiency. Knowledge management, mediated by organization culture, could also account for efficiency.
