A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect information. Descriptive and inferential statistical methods (correlation test and structural equation modeling) were used to analyze the data.

Based on the opinions and suggestions of experts, five dimensions (strategy and goals, technology, size, organizational culture and environment) are content factors and three dimensions (complexity, formality and Focus) are Structural factors in model. Organizational success with three-dimensional (organizational agility, knowledge sharing and innovation) and social capital with three-dimensional (structural, specialized, and communicative) are in the model.
