چکیده

This study aims to evaluate knowledge management and its components in knowledge-based project-oriented organizations; knowledge management plays an important role in improving performance, innovation, and sustainable competitive advantage. This applied mixed-method research utilized both qualitative and quantitative approaches. In the qualitative phase, meta-synthesis and the fuzzy Delphi method were used to identify and validate key components. In the quantitative phase, a researcher-developed questionnaire was administered using stratified random sampling.  Data were analyzed with SPSS and model fit was assessed via Smart PLS. The validity and reliability of the instrument were confirmed through expert evaluations, and Cronbach’s alpha exceeded 0.7. Six main dimensions of knowledge management—process, technology, human resources, organizational structure, strategy, and leadership—along with 25 components were identified. The Quantitative results demonstrated that these dimensions were generally in a favorable state. Among them, the process dimension had the highest impact while technology had the lowest. The most influential components included strategy, leadership, and knowledge culture. Evaluating knowledge management enables knowledge-based project-oriented organizations to optimize their resources, enhance productivity, and achieve a sustainable competitive advantage.
