Summary
The current era is the age of accelerating and unpredictable changes. Management status in our society reflects an imbalance among the increasing complexity of organizations as well as the inability of these organizations to predict and cope with these changes and complexities (Argot, 2003). Management problems and issues are so complex and intertwined that it is not easy to diagnose the problems and the human nature of these organizations and the complexity of employees’ behavior increases this complexity (Khanalizade, 2010). Environmental changes have led organizations to constantly follow the best practices and approaches to be adapted to their environment (Daft, 2008). They will be achieved to competitive benefits and one way to achieve sustainable competitive advantages is the emphasis on knowledge management and continuous organizational learning of the employees to achieve organizational goals with maximum effectiveness (Saedi & Yazdani, 2009). Organizational learning and knowledge management are two related concepts that have always attracted the attention of many theorists and managers of organization and management since the past two decades (Lawrence, 2002)
