The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of creative deviance on the innovation inertia considering the mediating role of human resource intelligence. This applied research employed a descriptive survey design. The statistical population of the study included 1600 employees of knowledge-based organizations of Lorestan province. Using Cochran formula and stratified sampling method, the researchers estimated the sample size to be 309 people. The instrument used to gather the data was a standard questionnaire whose content validity was established and its reliability was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. In this study, structural equation modeling and Smart Pls2 and SPSS 19 software were used to test the hypotheses. The results emerging from the data analyses revealed that creative deviance has a positive significant effect on innovation and human resources intelligence. Additionally, the results indicated that human intelligence has a mediating role in the effect of creative deviance on innovation inertia. Therefore, overall, it can be concluded that in knowledge-based organizations, the foundation of intelligent human resources, creative deviance and creative violation of the bureaucratic and restrictive regulations of the organization, lead to innovation and keep the knowledge-based organizations away from innovation inertia.
