Structural Equations of the Relationship between Team Work Quality and Organizational Agility Through the Functional Role of Knowledge Management in Education

The aim of this study was to investigate the functional role of knowledge management in the relationship between the quality of teamwork and organizational agility. The research is descriptive-survey and cross-sectional (2020). The statistical population is 120 employees of the Marivan Education Department. The library and field method (questionnaire) was used to collect data. By the three standard questionnaires of Hogel and Gmuinden teamwork (2001) and the standard questionnaire of organizational agility of Zhang (2001) and the researcher-made questionnaire of knowledge management based on the Probst model, their validity was confirmed by experts, and their reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's test. Structural equation modeling using LISREL software was used to analyze the data. The results showed that the given model with RMSEA values = 0.058 and χ ^ 2 / Df = 2.43 fits reasonably and appropriately. On the other hand, the factor load of the variables in the standard mode was more than three tenths, which indicates a positive correlation between the variables. In addition, the amount of factor load was in the case of significant coefficients of the variable quality of teamwork with organizational agility (3.60); the relationship between team quality and knowledge management (4.65), and the relationship between knowledge management and organizational agility (5.49). The significant point of the study was that the relationship between team quality and organizational agility with the functional role of knowledge management has increased from 3.60 to 5.49, ie knowledge management has well mediated the role of teamwork quality and organizational agility.
