Designing a proposed model of effective knowledge management with a strategic planning approach with a combined method of grand theory and structural equations (Case study: Ministry of Science, Research and Technology)

The purpose of this research is to design the proposed model of effective knowledge management with a strategic planning approach with the combined method of grand theory and structural equations of the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology. In terms of purpose, it is practical, and based on the nature and method, it is quantitative, survey (field) and from the objective qualitative method, it is of inductive-exploratory type. In the first stage, 30 elites and experts in the field of organizational knowledge and knowledge management of the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology and affiliated research organizations were selected by the qualitative method of grand theory and snowball or chain sampling, and information was collected through semi-structured interviews. . Then, with open, central and selective coding, the main categories of the research were extracted and the model was presented. In the second stage of the research (quantitative method), data was collected by developing a closed questionnaire and confirming its validity and reliability. Then, in order to measure the correlation between the data, the goodness of fit of the extractive model, the hypotheses test of the identified categories and its ranking, kmo and Bartlett methods, confirmatory factor analysis, t-test and structural equations were used to validate the model. The results of the analysis showed that the correlation between the data for appropriate factor analysis and the extracted model categories had a higher goodness of fit and the hypotheses were confirmed. In this way, knowledge sharing is the first priority and information technology, organizational culture, knowledge retention, knowledge transformation and knowledge acquisition as effective knowledge management factors with a strategic planning approach are placed in the next priorities and the final research model was presented.
