ABSTRACT
This study was designed to investigate the association between knowledge creation and organizational innovation among the staff of Tehran University of Medical Sciences [TUMS]. In this descriptive correlational study, 132 individuals from TUMS employees were randomly selected based on Cochran's formula. The questionnaires of knowledge creation management and organizational innovation were created by the researchers and their reliability was measured by Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the 0.87 and 0.85. After data collection, the statistical analysis methods, such as descriptive and inferential statistics, mean and standard deviation were performed. Pearson and Friedman test were carried out to obtain their correlation status. The relationship between knowledge creation components and the components of organizational innovation [product innovation, process innovation and administrative innovation] using Pearson analysis was significant [P < .001]. Knowledge creation and organizational innovation is at an encouraging level in TUMS.
