Abstract

The main purpose of the present research is to design a model knowledge-based for university through a mixed research method. In the first stage, the knowledge-based components of the university have been identified by analyzing the content of the data derived from the semi-structured exploratory interview with 16 experts in the field of knowledge. Then these components were validated by the focus group method. In the second stage, the proposed model was tested quantitatively in the qualitative stage. The statistical population of this research was 207 managers of Tehran University. By simple random sampling, 134 of them were selected as samples. Structural equations and PLS software were used to fit the pattern. The findings of the qualitative section of the research show that knowledge of the university has 8 main components and 28 sub-components. The main components of knowledge at the University include: Knowledge Management Process, knowledge-based Support Strategy, Knowledge Based Support Structure, knowledge-based Support Environment, knowledge-based Support Culture, knowledge-based Support Management, Knowledge-Based Support Management, Knowledge-Based Support Information Technology and Communication. A quantitative analysis in order to fit the proposed model f Conclusion: The results of the research show that for knowledge-based of the university, should be considered all eight components of knowledge-based.
