Knowledge management is one of the interesting and challenging topics of management science in the new millennium. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of knowledge management on organizational agility of staff ofKhuzestan province youth and sport office. The present study is applied-descriptive in terms of purpose and in terms of descriptive-survey data collection. The statistical population of this study consisted of all employees of the province's youth and youth sports department (80 people). Due to the limited population, the sample size of the study was calculated as 80 individuals. Kolmogorov-Smimov test and regression test as well as structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data at inferential statistics level. This was done by SPSS software version 21 and LISREL version 8.8 software. The results show that using the regression, the value obtained for F is 12.023 and a significant level ofO.OOOl means that the hypothesis will be rejected and indicates that the impact ofknowledge management on Organizational agility is meaningful. Using the results of the structural equations ofknowledge management variable with a factor of 0.53 has a great effect on the organizational agility variable. Thus, lack of attention to knowledge management leads to a decrease in speed, flexibility as well as competence and accountability of staff. Considering that the path coefficient was 0.53 and also the t-statistic was 0.3, it can be said that knowledge management at 99.99% confidence level has a positive and significant effect on organizational agility. Data processing using structural equation modeling shows that the mediating role of knowledge management on organizational effectiveness is confirmed. This finding means that the emphasis on knowledge management and its compliance by organizations can lead to the influence of each of the variables of organizational intelligence and organizational effectiveness in the successful implementation of another.

The present study is applied-descriptive in terms of purpose and in terms of descriptive-survey data collection. The statistical population of this study consisted of all employees of the province's youth and youth sports department (80 people). Due to the limited population, the sample size of the study was calculated as 80 individuals. Kolmogorov-Smimov test and regression test as well as structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data at inferential statistics level. This was done by SPSS software version 21 and LISREL version 8.8 software. The results show that using the regression, the value obtained for F is 12.023 and a significant level ofO.OOOl means that the hypothesis will be rejected and indicates that the impact ofknowledge management on Organizational agility is meaningful. Using the results of the structural equations ofknowledge management variable with a factor of 0.53 has a great effect on the organizational agility variable. Thus, lack of attention to knowledge management leads to a decrease in speed, flexibility as well as competence and accountability of staff. Considering that the path coefficient was 0.53 and also the t-statistic was 0.3, it can be said that knowledge management at 99.99% confidence level has a positive and significant effect on organizational agility. Data processing using structural equation modeling shows that the mediating role of knowledge management on organizational effectiveness is confirmed. This finding means that the emphasis on knowledge management and its compliance by organizations can lead to the influence of each of the variables of organizational intelligence and organizational effectiveness in the successful implementation of another.
