چکیده:
Identifying the necessary infrastructures for effective knowledge management and creating innovation in universities is of great importance. Therefore, this research attempts to examine the effect of knowledge management infrastructural dimensions on innovation. To this end, after studying the theoretical foundations and interviewing experts, the infrastructural dimensions of knowledge management were identified and factor analysis was performed. Finally, the effect of each of these dimensions on technical and executive innovation was examined. The research method was correlational-causal and applied in nature. The statistical population included 344 faculty members of Yazd University, and the sample size was 163. The reliability of the questionnaire was checked using Cronbach's alpha (0.969) and its construct validity using factor analysis. Correlation analysis and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between the infrastructural dimensions of knowledge management and technical and executive innovation. Additionally, the findings obtained from structural equation modeling showed that among the infrastructural dimensions, the technology and structure dimension has the greatest impact on the development of innovation.

The results of their research showed that the key success factors of knowledge management include: human resource development, knowledge-oriented strategic direction, information systems infrastructure, participatory culture, modeling, knowledge evaluation and transfer, and individual participation.
In addition, many researchers have emphasized that knowledge is the most important element in innovation (Afuah, 2003; Storey & Kelly, 2002; Lin, 2001; Darroch & McNaughton, 2002; Tsai, 2001; Schmidt & Cantner, 2011; Joel, 2002).
In the aforementioned questionnaire, in order to measure the dimensions of knowledge management infrastructure, three indicators culture, technology, and structure (12 questions) were used, and in order to evaluate and measure innovation, the technical and implementational dimensions of innovation (10 questions) were used.
The results showed that there is a significant relationship between the dimensions of knowledge management infrastructure and technical and operational innovation.
Therefore, in this research, an effort was made to investigate the effect of knowledge management infrastructure dimensions on the development of innovation, while identifying and evaluating these dimensions at Yazd University.
05, therefore, it can be said that each of the process and infrastructure dimensions of knowledge management have a positive and significant relationship with innovation (technical and operational).
Table 8- Results of hypothesis testing (Refer to the page image) Considering the calculated t-value, it can be said that both infrastructure dimensions of knowledge management have a significant effect on technical and implementational innovation.
The results of the correlation analysis showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between the two infrastructure dimensions of knowledge management and implementational and technical innovation.
