Examining the knowledge dimension in organizational architecture patterns (case study: security organizations)

Regardless of the dimensions and components of any organizational architectural pattern, the academic framework that is characterized by the knowledge of this domain as an important process and perspective, is necessary to complete any organizational architectural pattern. Indigenizing scientific patterns does not mean to backtrack on its scientific principles. Knowledge dimension of architecture as the scientific form of organizational architecture prevents the pattern from losing its effectiveness and provides a basis for measuring scientific efficiency of the pattern. In security organizations such as other organizations, the existence of an organizational architectural pattern is essential and knowledge dimension is regarded as one of the main and regulatory elements of it. This is an applied- developmental study and employs quantitative approach and library collection tools and questionnaire (with content validity and Cronbach’s alpha of. /82). The purpose of the study is to determine the place of scientific principles of organizational architecture in security organizations, which indicates that in these organizations, knowledge dimension as part of organizational architectural patterns is equal to the common frameworks of organizational architecture and consist of the components of elements and concepts, functions, requirements, products and direction makers. A common understanding in the field of bases and concepts is more important than other components. The scientific dimension of architecture requires optimal performance of cognitive, supervisory and executive functions of security organizations and plays a role in providing the security of security authorities.
