Abstract
The Agricultural Jihad Organization can play a fundamental role in the development of the agricultural sector and achieving food security of the society. However, due to the lack of necessary dynamics, its performance has always been lower than the desired amount included in the development plan, therefore, its performance is seriously criticized. In this regard, the investigation of the factors that can save this organization from stagnation, and improve its performance is crucial. In doing so, this research was conducted to investigate the role of knowledge management on the organizational performance of Bushehr Agricultural Jihad with the mediating role of strategic measures related to human resource management. The statistical population included all experts of agricultural jihad organization in Bushehr province (400 experts). Using Krejcie and Morgan table, 210 of them were selected by stratified random sampling method with proportional assignment. The main instrument of this research was a questionnaire. The form validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by faculty members of the Department of Agricultural Extension and Education in Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources University of Khuzestan and its’ content validity was calculated using AVE, eventually, the reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed using ordinal theta.
