Description
Summary:The main purpose of this study is to present a model of absorptive capacity in defense based knowledge organizations with a future research approach. The research method is an exploratory mixture designed in the first stage of qualitative study (Delphi futures) and the research model is designed for quantitative study in the next stage. Statistical population including academic experts, managers and heads were used to investigate the proposed dimensions and components of the initial model. The statistical population of the study consisted of the staff of defense based knowledge organizations located in Tehran and Alborz provinces (300 people) using simple random sampling method. The research method was descriptive-survey and data gathering tool was a questionnaire. Data analysis was done using Excel2013, SPSS24, Smart-PLS statistical software. Based on the theoretical and research background of the researcher-made questionnaire with 9 dimensions, 38 components were prepared. According to the results obtained from the research model, it can be stated that the proposed model is approved and also based on the intensity of impact among the model components in Table 6, detection on desirable performance, absorption on desirable performance have the lowest impact coefficient, respectively. While the external environment has the most influence on organizational factors and the external environment on integration, transformation, configuration. Also, the effect of operation on desirable performance, absorption on desirable performance, and the effect of diagnosis on desirable performance at 95% confidence level (5% significance level) were not significant.
