Abstract :
Knowledge management is the promotion of a comprehensive approach to identify, capture, recover, share and evaluate an organization's information capital and affects various aspects of the organization. Organizations have to design knowledge management strategies according to their organization's environment. The aim of the current research is to achieve the establishment model of knowledge management in Farhangian University of Khuzestan province. This research is one of mixed exploratory research (qualitative and quantitative). In the qualitative part, the Delphi technique and 12 experts were used to determine the components and indicators of the research; Then, the leveling of the factors was done by using Mic Mac software and structural-interpretive method (ISM). In the quantitative part of cluster random sampling method, 217 employees of Farhangian University were selected and analyzed with SmartPLS software. For the validity of both methods, the formal and reliability method was also used with Cronbach's alpha test. The findings showed that the structural-interpretive technique showed that the factor of exploiting the two-column system of the learner is at the highest level, i.e. the first level, and the continuous performance and discovery of the knowledge base is at the lowest level. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between the components and the establishment pattern of knowledge management of Farhangian University in Khuzestan province
