In this century, knowledge is seen as a major source of institutional and other resource
management needs, so the present study investigates the relationship between organizational
culture and knowledge management in the National Olympic Committee. The study is
correlation, field and applied research. Statistical population is all National Olympic Committee
staff (107 people). Sampling method, here, is census, but due to limitations in the study, 92
questionnaires were returned. Organizational Culture Inventory (2009) and management
knowledge Inventory (2009) were administered. The knowledge management questionnaire
included four dimensions of commitment to collaboration, Compatibility, adaptation and
mission. Ten sports management professors confirmed its validity and reliability -
Organizational Culture (?=0.86) and Inventory Management (?=0.92). For data analysis Kolmogr
of Smirnov test, Pearson and multiple linear regressions were used. Results showed a
significant relationship between organizational culture and its factors with knowledge
management (P<0.01).The logistic regression analysis showed that the compatibility (?=0.324),
adaption (?=0.337) and mission (?=0.227) are significant predictors for knowledge management
(P<0.01). With respect to the survey results, it can be said that organizational culture has a
fundamental role in the establishment of knowledge management at the NOC.
