The purpose of this study in knowledge-based organizations is to investigate the impact of future developments in information and communication technologies (ICT) on organizational knowledge engineering. Given the importance of information and communication technology to increase speed and accuracy of different activities of organizations and thus increase their productivity, can be towards the advancement of organizational knowledge and raising the level of awareness of the organization and raising the development and creativity of the organization. In fact, by gathering the knowledge of the organization's external and internal environment, a knowledge system engineer creates practical items, so that these items can be implemented in the future. The supporting role of information technology for knowledge management will bring significant progress in the intelligent and knowledge-based behavior of organizations and their people.

It is a type of applied research and qualitative approach done using grounded theory. Using an empirical approach and ideographic explanation, this research seeks to drive the future of information and communication technology (ICT) and knowledge engineering. The researchers try to understand the challenges of information and communication technologies (ICT) and knowledge engineering and information and communication management by conducting field studies and participating in processes related to the research subject. The statistical population of the study includes 178 managers and experts working in knowledge-based companies at the senior level. The research sampling method is theoretical and open and unstructured interview tools with experts have been used to collect information. The method of analysis is thematic analysis methods and contextual theory and statistical tests have been performed using confirmatory factor analysis.

Based on the results of the research, it was found that the factors influencing the presentation of a conceptual model of future developments of information and communication technologies on organizational knowledge engineering were identified. Causal conditions are contextual conditions, intervening conditions, process/interactions and consequences, and information technology is the most important factor in enabling the knowledge engineering process with high speed and accuracy.

Lack of general government policy in the development of information technology in the field of knowledge engineering, lack of telecommunications platform for information exchange, lack of familiarity and skills of employees in using information technology tools is an important challenge in using information technology in knowledge organizations. Therefore, it is suggested that governments provide the appropriate platform and plan to improve this technology.

The primary source of knowledge within the organization is its human capital. Throughout an individual's tenure within an organization, the human resources department can accumulate a wealth of skills, experiences, and ideas. This accumulation of knowledge is often referred to as a person's knowledge reserves, and can serve to generate both value and power for both the individual and the organization (Siyadi etal, 2016). The depletion of organizational knowledge is a regrettable reality for the organization (Bammad Sufi etal, 2016). The phenomenon of knowledge leakage within organizations has been The departure of knowledge workers, resulting in the loss of both tangible and intangible knowledge, is considered a critical factor in knowledge outflow from an organization. In the oil industry, expertise holds significant value across various specializations. Unlike several engineering domains, the regulations and principles of engineering that govern this industry are challenging to document and codify (Bagheri, 2004). The utilization of organizational knowledge has become increasingly imperative due to various factors, including heightened competition and innovation within organizations, workforce retirement, and migration, limited time for knowledge acquisition and testing, shifts in organizational strategies, absence of incentive systems, and insufficient recognition of the potency of knowledge and its ability to generate power (Moayedi Khorramabadi etal, 2019).
The oil industry is a highly specialized and experience-driven sector that places significant emphasis on human capital as the most valuable knowledge asset of the organization. According to Rajabpour and Baba Shahi (2020), human resources personnel employed in the oil industry possess significant skills and competencies that can significantly contribute to the attainment of predetermined missions and aims. The oil industry's failure to document, shares, and utilize the knowledge generated from experiences and intellectual and knowledge capital is indicative of unproductive practices and cost inefficiencies.

What are the classifications of organizational knowledge that emanate from National Oil Company?

The objective of knowledge retention is to guarantee that members of an organization are able to utilize knowledge again in the future (Lewalt and Chen, 2017). According to Lin et al (2016), the departure of an individual possessing valuable knowledge from an organization results in a diminution of organizational knowledge, thereby adversely impacting organizational memory (Taghizadeh Masan etal, 2017).
The knowledge of the organization ensures its survival and gives it a competitive advantage. The risk of organizational knowledge loss resulting from employee departures has emerged as a noteworthy concern. According to Daghfoos etal (2013). This study aims to identify critical knowledge that contributes to the National Oil Company's organizational objectives and is lost when employees depart. The research methodology involves a comprehensive review of prior studies and exploratory interviews. The National Oil Company operates in a knowledge-based industry. Therefore, by reviewing and analyzing prior research and conducting exploratory interviews, the current study aims to identify the knowledge that is crucial to achieving the organization's goals because, as a knowledge-based industry, the National Oil Company loses this knowledge when employees leave.

The research method was data-driven and an inductive approach. This study employed a qualitative data collection method, specifically through conducting interviews, to identify the types of knowledge that are being disseminated from the organization.
To ascertain the type of knowledge disseminated by the organization, a diverse group of individuals possessing expertise in the relevant subject matter, including academic authorities, were interviewed. The interviews were carried out using a semi-structured and in-depth approach. The length of the interview ranged from 20 to 60 minutes. Data collection was carried out until the point of data saturation. To authenticate the researchers, two external review strategies were employed: interviewing individuals beyond those designated for the interview to scrutinize and assess the research process, research output, and its precision, and pluralism, which entailed interviewing individuals at varying levels of the organization with distinct responsibilities.

Based on the results obtained from the present research, the departure of employees from the National Iranian Oil Company results in the loss of seven areas of knowledge. The company utilizes all knowledge that has been identified, which is classified into three distinct categories: vital, non-vital, and conditional knowledge. The three types of knowledge that are vital for a company's success are operational knowledge, specialized knowledge, and business knowledge. These types of knowledge are indispensable for the company, and their absence can result in significant costs for the organization. All the existing knowledge is intended to bolster the operational knowledge of the organization. The second classification pertains to non-vital information, which enhances the operational efficiency of the organization, but its absence has a comparatively lesser effect on the overall performance of the company. The aforementioned knowledge encompasses knowledge of learning from failure and success and process knowledge. Conditional knowledge is a type of knowledge that is contingent upon specific conditions and circumstances within the National Oil Company. Its absence does not have any significant impact on the overall performance of the company. The aforementioned knowledge encompasses both knowledge that exists outside of the organization as well as knowledge that is contingent upon certain conditions.

The present study has identified seven distinct forms of knowledge that experience a decline in the event of employee turnover within an organization. Based on the findings obtained from conducted interviews, it has been determined that within the context of Iran's embargo conditions, operational and business knowledge are the most crucial types of knowledge for the oil company, given the unique characteristics of oil extraction and sale. The loss of expertise in this industry can have a significant impact on the oil company's operations.
Additional structures within the organization serve to support both operational and business domains. One of the factors that can be identified is the significance of specialized knowledge, which is heavily reliant on the specialized knowledge of the staff. In the event of the departure of said individuals from the organization, the operational efficacy of the company may be compromised. Therefore, it is imperative to facilitate the transfer of their knowledge and expertise to other personnel, while also enhancing the knowledge is very important for the company. The acquisition of specialized knowledge within an oil company is a crucial determinant of its operational efficacy, and the absence of such knowledge can have a significant impact on its overall performance.

This study was carried out to identify and rank factors affecting the success of knowledge management implementation in the gas organization of Khuzestan Province by the Analytical Hierarchy Process Method.

The research method was descriptive- exploratory. The statistical population included all managers and senior experts of Khuzestan Gas Company, 35 of whom were selected by snowball sampling. The data gathering tool was a researcher-made questionnaire. The face validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by the professors and managers of Khuzestan Gas Company. Cronbach's alpha method was used to determine its reliability, which was estimated at 0.877 and 0.892. In this study, SPSS and Expert Choice software were used to analyze data from descriptive and inferential statistics.

Based on the Delphi technique, 6 factors and 33 important factors were identified. The results of the analytical hierarchy process show that in terms of importance, management and leadership factors, information technology, organizational culture, organizational structure, human resource management, and processes and activities factors were ranked first to sixth.

According to the results of this study, we can use the decision model derived from identifying and ranking of factors affecting the success of knowledge management implementation in the gas organization of Khuzestan Province by Analytical Hierarchy Process Method to improve and enhance the competitive position of the company. According to the findings obtained from the priority of agents, creation, and development of technological infrastructure,  application  of  knowledge - based  strategy  in  formulating  company  plans  andproviding appropriate information systems for storage, transfer, and exchange of knowledge, the rule of creative and critical thinking in culture, engagement, development of social relations between working and business communities as well as informal relations among company employees to increase satisfaction and motivation of knowledge transfer and other knowledge management processes to improve and enhance the company's competitive position in knowledge management development can be implemented and run.

The aim of this study is to identify the role of knowledge management in the impact of intellectual capital components on innovation in public libraries.

The research method is survey-analytical and the statistical population is 382 librarians of public libraries in Iran. SPSS 23 software was used to analyze descriptive data and LISREL software was used to analyze inferential data.

The results show that there is a significant relationship between intellectual capital and innovation that the coefficient of intellectual capital on innovation is equal to (1.691). There is also a significant relationship between knowledge management and intellectual capital that the path coefficient between the variables of knowledge management and intellectual capital is equal to (0.433). The results of the structural equation model show that the model proposed by researchers has a good fit and there is a positive and significant relationship between intellectual capital and innovation with the mediating role of knowledge management in Iranian public libraries.

Public libraries can ensure the survival and effectiveness of their performance by paying more attention to their intellectual and knowledge capital; i.e., identifying, improving and strengthening intellectual capital and its dimensions as one of the important capabilities of public libraries in creating and storing. Sharing, applying, and evaluating organizational knowledge can lead to the development of innovative activities.

More than fifty years have passed since the introduction of the concept of knowledge management in the field of science and its entry into the working and social life of society, including individuals, organizations, and associations from the private to public sectors. The experience of this relatively long time and the meaning of knowledge management in the scientific literature show that this concept has not been a fad. Over time, knowledge management has become an important component of individual, organizational, and social life, and various expenses in this field have been done by individuals and organizations. Understanding the success rate of knowledge management is very difficult due to the dominance of its intangible dimension, and this has led to the formation of many misinterpretations of evaluation in this field. This paper shows the result of 20 years of experience in scientific, consulting, and executive activities in the field of knowledge management, which summarizes the major Possible harms to successful implementation of knowledge management in various organizations and suggests six facilitator components. Dissemination of these facilitators can help prevent the repetition of mistakes in the future and improve the success rate of current projects. These facilitators are presented and explained in six general categories: "Knowledge Management Awareness", "Echo-systemic co-existence", "Targeted Support", "Realistic Expectations", "Infrastructure Preparedness" and "Supportive Culture" and solutions to reduce them are proposed.

Bearing in mind the importance of knowledge activities, the purpose of this study is to determine the status of knowledge activities in individual and organizational dimensions amongst academic and public librarians in Kermanshah province.    

Survey method is applied. Data  was collected by  Huang questionnaire, which was distributed among the 170 librarians selected as sample. Sample size was determined by Cochranchr('39')s formula.   Data was analyzed by  descriptive and inferential statistics.

Findings Showed that the highest average of knowledge activities in individual dimensions is correlated to the component of knowledge absorption and the lowest is related to knowledge diffusion and in organizational dimensions. Also,  the highest average is related to the component of knowledge integration and the lowest is tied in the component of knowledge breadth. There was no significant difference between public and academic librarians (except for knowledge barriers) in comparing the status of knowledge activities in individual and organizational dimensions. The average score of the studied librarians regarding the status of knowledge activities in organizational dimensions is significantly higher than knowledge activities in individual dimensions. The status of knowledge activities in individual and organizational dimensions in public and academic libraries is at a desirable level.

Due to the low average of knowledge obstacles and knowledge breadth in comparison with other components, it is urgent that library managers hold seminars and conferences and encourage the librarians to take part in those programs and help them share their ideas and thoughts. The managers should also organize educational programs with the help of experienced librarians that help the novice librarians in regard with knowledge acquisition, job responsibilities, educational resources and library databases.
