Abstract
The current research has been done with the aim of presenting a model of knowledge management in universities. In terms of methodology, this research is of the type of applied studies, and in terms of method, it is among the qualitative and meta-composite researches. For this purpose, it was used through searching in the internal and external scientific databases of the Iran Scientific Information and Documents Center (IranDac), Jihad Academic Database, Islamic World Citation Database, Web of Science, ProQuest, Scopus, Google Scholar and Science Direct. 786 articles were extracted according to the defined search strategy, and at the end of the review process, 41 sources were selected for final analysis. The content validity of these documents was verified by the Critical Assessment Tool (CASP) method. In the analysis stage of the selected documents, the sub-components and open codes of these documents were extracted by the qualitative content analysis method and then categorized and combined under the main components and dimensions of the research. In order to validate the findings, the method of comparing the opinion of researchers with an expert was used, and the Kappa agreement coefficient was 0.783. The results showed that according to the nature of the university, four main categories can be considered for the model of knowledge management in universities. Knowledge vision plan, knowledge flow, knowledge transformation and knowledge evaluation. Also, the results showed that the four factors of culture, technology, environment and stakeholders play an important role in the success of the knowledge management model based on the context of knowledge management in the university. In a general summary, it can be said that knowledge management in universities is not limited to a specific time and program, and with the end of the four stages of this model, knowledge management will enter the stage of a new knowledge plan.
