Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of knowledge-based culture (KBC) with the knowledge management (KM) approach in advancing the functions of third-generation university, a case study of sports science faculties. The population includes the faculty members of the (public) colleges of sports science throughout the country. The sample was selected by the total sampling method and 268 questionnaires were returned. A researcher-made questionnaire consisting of 24 questions was used for data collection that its reliability was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient (0/92) and the combined reliability and validity were confirmed using convergent validity (confirmation of factor load and AVE value) and diagnostic validity. Descriptive statistics and confirmatory factor analysis were used to analyze data by the 23rd version of SPSS and to provide the model, equation modeling technique was used by LISREL8.5 software. The results showed that the impact of KBC on KM is positive and significant and leads to the advancement of educational, research and entrepreneurial functions of sport science faculties. Also, the impact of KM on the advancement of third-generation university functions in sport science faculties is positive and significant. In addition, the mediating role of KM in the relationship between KBC and third-generation university functions in sport science faculties was confirmed.
