Abstract :
This paper aims to investigate the relationship between Organizational Culture and Knowledge Utilitization and Application for ranking non-financial performance of Department of Sahand Tire Company. The main purpose of the study is presenting a model for improvement of non-financial performance of the department and studying the effect of organizational culture on non-financial performance with the mediating role of knowledge utilitization and application by using slack-based fuzzy network data envelopment analysis (FNDEA) on the basis of excess of inputs and shortage of outputs. The related data were collected by a questionnaire distributed among 117 personnel from 12 units on the basis of random-classified sampling. The findings showed that the non-financial performance of workshop and manufacturing Process are better than the performance of other units. Also, findings showed that knowledge utilitization and application factor has a significant and positive role in the relationship between organizational culture and non-financial performance.
