The first phase of the research was qualitative, which was conducted using the method of theme analysis and the theme network approach of Atride Stirling (2001). Based on the principle of theoretical saturation, a semi-structured interview was conducted with 21 managers using the purposive sampling method. The criteria of Lincoln and Guba (1985) were used to validate the findings. The research method in the quantitative, descriptive-survey phase and the statistical population included 570 managers, 234 of whom were selected by simple random sampling method and Morgan Karjesi table (1970). The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire, whose content and form validity was confirmed by 30 experts, and construct validity was performed using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation models. The reliability of the tool was also estimated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 94%. The data were analyzed during three stages of coding (open, selective and selective). The output of the qualitative phase was 98 open codes, 12 core codes, and 4 selective codes of embedding, delearning, substitution, and open atmosphere. Was. The results of the quantitative part indicated that the model has a good fit. The organization is not only looking for learning new knowledge, but forgetting the old knowledge can also be considered. if learning brings benefits to any organization, organizational forgetting will help the organization to learn better.
