In the information age, knowledge is the most important and valuable asset of any organization. This research is based on the purpose of the type of applied research that was done using the survey method and analytical approach. The statistical population was managers, faculty members, and scientific assistants of Golestan University in 2025, and due to the limited nature of the research population, Morgan's table was used, and the required sample size for the current research was 187 based on the statistical population of 365 people, and on this basis, the number of 190 The questionnaire was collected using stratified relative sampling method. In order to measure the reliability of the research tool, Cronbach's alpha was used and in order to check the validity of the questionnaire, first and second order confirmatory factor analysis was used. The findings showed that in the barriers to maintaining and developing human resources knowledge, the three factors of organizational culture, organizational structure, and management are below average, and the two factors of information technology and human resources are slightly above average. Also, the use of artificial neural networks to predict the level of maintaining and developing human resources knowledge showed that the current research model with three neurons in the hidden layer would reach the highest level of prediction accuracy, which is 0.893. The results showed that the infrastructural indicators of knowledge management at Golestan University, especially in the three factors of organizational culture, organizational structure, and management, require immediate attention and action.

The aim of the present research is to determine and rank the factors affecting the implementation of an electronic city plan using the Analytic Hierarchy Process. The research method is descriptive in nature and, given its purpose, is applied, quantitative, and survey-based. The statistical population in this research includes 21 experts. Due to the limited statistical population, the sample size is considered the same as the statistical population (21 individuals). Purposeful sampling was used in this research through both library research and questionnaires to collect data. In order to assess the validity of the research questionnaires, experts were consulted. The questionnaires were distributed to several experts and management professors, and their feedback was taken into consideration. The validity of the questionnaires was ultimately confirmed. In order to determine the reliability of the questionnaires (pairwise comparisons), the inconsistency rate was calculated for each pairwise comparison matrix. The overall inconsistency rate was 0.06, which is acceptable with a scale of 0 to 1, indicating that the matrices are reliable. Data analysis was conducted using Choice Expert software and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). According to the expert opinions, organizational factors are the most important (weight 29.0) and political factors are the least important (weight 19.0).

The present study aimed to identify the challenges of the purposefulness of academic research towards role-playing in solving the problems and issues in Iran. The researchers used a qualitative approach by content analysis to achieve this aim. The participants in the study included 16 connoisseurs from universities and research institutes who were selected based on the purposeful sampling method of the type of criterion. The tool for data collection was a semi-structured interview and the method of data analysis was an inductive content analysis. To check the credibility of the findings of the study, three methods; member check, triangulation, and peer check were used. The findings showed that the challenges of the purposefulness of academic research towards role-playing in solving the problems and issues in Iran can be divided into four main categories and eight sub-categories included; institutional challenges (the weakness of the promotion regulations of faculty members in not assigning special points to applied and problem-oriented research, the lack of a monitoring system and appropriate accreditation), organizational challenges (inappropriate distribution of the ratio of faculty members to students, lack of allocation of operational and problem-oriented budgets in universities, lack of attention to mission orientation in attracting faculty members and students), environmental challenges (incomplete cycle of science, technology, and innovation, low demand from institutions and organizations to conduct applied research) and individual challenges (inability and low willingness of faculty members to solve society's problems).

Introduction:The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and the performance of medical librarians, focusing on the mediating role of knowledge sharing among managers, administrative staff, and heads of medical science libraries affiliated with the Ministry of Health and Medical Education in Tehran.Methodology:This research is descriptive and survey-based, and in terms of its objective, it is applied. The statistical population includes managers, administrative staff, and heads of medical science libraries affiliated with the Ministry of Health and Medical Education in Tehran. Due to the limited size of the population, a census method was used, involving all 176 individuals. To measure artificial intelligence, the study utilized the 22-item questionnaire developed by Chen et al. (2022), covering a wide range of AI dimensions. Employee performance was assessed using the 12-item questionnaire by Stephen (2005), and knowledge sharing was measured with the 12-item questionnaire by Damaj et al. (2016). The reliability of these instruments was confirmed through Cronbach's alpha, and their validity was verified through convergent and discriminant validity. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics such as frequency distribution and inferential statistics through structural equation modeling (SEM) with Smart PLS software.Findings:The results indicated that artificial intelligence has a positive and significant impact on employee performance. Additionally, artificial intelligence positively influences knowledge sharing. Moreover, knowledge sharing has a positive and significant effect on employee performance.Conclusion:The findings revealed that knowledge sharing fully mediates the relationship between artificial intelligence and employee performance.

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the effect of targeted organizational forgetfulness on the capacity to attract knowledge with the mediating role of human capital in Ministry of Sport and Youth. The research method was causal and applied in terms of purpose. The statistical population was 450 people of which 213 were considered as statistical samples. The sampling method was stratified random. Data collection tools were the Questionnaire for attracting the capacity of knowledge of Minbaeva et al. (2003), the questionnaire of targeted organizational Forgotten Moshabaki et al. (2012), and the human capital questionnaire of Pike et al. (2002). The sampling method was a simple random one. The validity of the questionnaires was again confirmed by experts and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the questionnaires was higher than 0.7. The results showed that targeted organizational forgetfulness has a significant effect on human capital and knowledge absorption capacity, and human capital has a significant effect on knowledge absorption capacity. In general, targeted organizational forgetfulness has a significant effect on the capacity to absorb knowledge through the mediating role of human capital. Knowledge acquisition is influenced by the release of unprofitable organizational knowledge and the creation of change and development by increasing the individual abilities and skills of employees. In fact, in order to attract new knowledge and apply new knowledge in the field of sports or sports organizations, it is necessary to make changes in the organization, which can be done with the help of staff empowerment.

Purpose: Knowledge Organizing is one of the oldest and most basic topics in Library and information science Whose main domain is immutable over time; However, the environment in which the organization operates has changed dramatically and will continue to change. Published research often describes only certain aspects that show only a partial picture of the perspective of its knowledge organization research. In fact, it is difficult for researchers to get an overview of this field by reviewing such articles. Scientometric methods are expected to help meet this need. This study aims to investigate the centrality indicators in the co-authorship network of Persian articles in the field of knowledge organization.Methodology: This research is an applied type that has done with the approach of scientometrics and analysis of social networks. The research data were selected from 106 keywords of his knowledge organization in the title field, which were selected after consultation with subject matter experts in this field; Together with all the articles published in selected journals of information science and epistemology indexed in the Islamic World Science Citation center from 1378 to 1398. Finally, the retrieved records were limited to research papers, conference papers, and review papers and limited to the subject of Library and information filed. Out of 1482 authors who were involved in the publication of 1410 articles, 168 with at least 4 articles were analyzed using UCINET software.

Introduction: Knowledge management, as one of the achievements of the age of knowledge and information, has strengthened its position by entering the realm of various sciences. Successful organizations today, by acquiring the necessary tools with a knowledge management approach, create good opportunities for optimizing their human and organizational resources. Universities and libraries are the main centers of knowledge production and storage, so the purpose of this study is to review the concept of knowledge management in how it is implemented in organizations (academic and library environments).Methods: This study was conducted by reviewing the sources and internal and external articles with the main subject of knowledge management in educational and library places. Also, search was used on the Internet, as well as scientific sites and databases. The range of articles selected was from 1995 to 2017.Results: The results of studies conducted by researchers in different aspects of knowledge management show a positive and significant effect on the usage of knowledge management components with important variables in universities and libraries. In these researches, the results are more favorable and some are reported to be weak, but in general, all of them consensus in the important role of using the knowledge management process.Conclusion: Universities, and especially university libraries as the main centers and knowledge production and storage organizations, should pay more attention to the knowledge management process and provide the necessary infrastructures to implement it in this regard.
