Introduction: Knowledge is a valuable and strategic resource and is also the most important variable for the growth of all-around health-oriented organizations and enterprises. Today, organizations are not limited to capital and human resources. As a result, organizations have stepped up knowledge management to improve and maintain their competitive power. This competition is also based on health-oriented organizations and related to community health systems. In organizations and health systems, there is a gap between knowledge management and their performance, which should be removed by a model of that distance. The aim of this study was to design a model that can determine the levels of knowledge management in the communication system, and the role and interactive functions of these layers in achieving the organization's goals, including sharing and applying knowledge.
Methods: This is an applied research, but the research method is descriptive / survey type and, the method of data collection is quantitative type that a group sampling method was used for collecting data. The sample size of the target population was estimated to be 70 person. In this research, with the extensive review of theoretical foundations, the primary factors influencing the model were set and after the initial questionnaire of the research and obtaining opinions of the experts and modifying the factors of the conceptual model of the research were designed, in which two factors and several components were identified and explained. After clarifying the factors, components and indicators of the knowledge management system in large organizations, using the coefficient of significance and load factors using Smart PLS software, confirmed the research hypotheses, and then the final model of knowledge management system was designed.
Results: The first part included a review of the meaningful coefficients Z (values of t-values) for each of the hypotheses. The output of the model showed that the 14 coefficients of the paths between the components determined in the conceptual model of the research were significant. The output of the standardized coefficient of the path between the components and factors showed that the policy component determined 92% of the changes in the level of organizational factors directly.
Conclusions: The proposed model in the knowledge management system of large organizations, such as health-based organizations, is a simple yet feasible model that has been used as a bridge in knowledge management and organizational factors.
