By using exploratory factor ana-lysis، principal components method and orthogonal Varimax rotation، the factor structure of the nursing advocacy scale instrument was documented in five dime-nsions. Cronbach''s alpha coefficient for nursing advocacy was 0. 920 and test-retest reliability coefficient was 0. 916. Discussion & At the end of the study، «nursing advocacy scale» which co-ntained 57 items، and was composed of five dimensions were designed and prep-ared.

This research was conducted through a cross-sectional and descriptive fashion. The society under study consisted of 227 faculty members working at Imam Khomeini hospital complex. Data were collected by means of a questionnaire that its validity and reliability were assured by expert’s corroboration and alpha Cron-bach coefficient (0. 94)، respectively. The data were analyzed via descriptive and ana-lytical statistics (Spearman correlation coefficient) by SPSS software. The results revealed a moderate learning organization status based on the opinions of faculty member at Imam Kho-meini hospital complex. There was a signi-ficant relationship between the human capital and learning organization comp-onents (P<0. 005). Discussion & Regarding to the presence of a significant positive relations-hip between the human capitals and learn-ing organization components، the necessity of applying this method as a new and effi-cient theory in management and health syst-em would be inevitable
