Abstract :

The present research is an applied research aimed at investigating the role of information technology mediator in determining the status of knowledge management based on the social responsibility of health care providers in the health care centers and through path analysis. The population under study in this study was all kidneys in Urmia city. A sample of 230 people was selected using random access sampling method. To collect data, three standard questionnaires of Carole's social responsibility (1991) with Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.70, scholarship management (2008) with Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.79 and Iron information technology (2010) with Cronbach's alpha of 0.72 Is. Structural equation model is used for analysis. The results show the fitness of the conceptual model and its confirmation for the Orumieh Behvarz community. The results showed that the direct effect of social responsibility variable on information technology (0.79) and significance (t = 7.25) was significant at the level of 0.00. The direct effect of information technology on knowledge management (0.61) and significance (t = 4/36) is significant at the level of 0.01. The indirect effect of social responsibility on knowledge management is 0/48 and with respect to (t = 6/54) at the level of 0/00. Given this indirect effect through information technology, it can be said that this variable plays a mediating role among social responsibility and knowledge management. Therefore, in service organizations, individuals are more responsible at the time of in-service training, providing them with information technology and transferring responsibility to individuals.
