An Analysis of the Canonical Relation between knowledge Management and Total Quality Managemen Case Study: The Schools at District II of Hamadan

The purpose of this study was to investigate the focal relationship of knowledge management with the establishment of inclusive quality management.

The research method was quantitative, descriptive and correlational. The statistical population consisted of elementary teachers in the two cities of Hamadan, who were selected by simple random sampling method based on Morgan table with a sample size of 219. And the research tools were Fong & Chi Knowledge Standard Questionnaire (2009) and Spinwell Total Quality Management Questionnaire (1994). Cronbach's alpha and confirmatory factor analysis were used to determine the reliability and validity of the tool. Data were analyzed using focal correlation and multiple linear regression using SPSS 25 software.

The results of this study showed that knowledge management dimensions had a positive and significant correlation in alpha of 0.01 with the value of 0.637 with the dimensions of QM. Knowledge management dimensions were able to account for 127% of the variance of QA. Also according to standardized regression coefficients, it can be said that knowledge acquisition, knowledge storage and knowledge distribution have a positive and significant effect on the overall quality management deployment variable at 0.05 level.

Knowledge management dimensions have a positive and significant focal correlation with the dimensions of QM implementation.
