Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the role of innovative organizational climate on organizational resilience mediated by organizational knowledge creation. The study population was all secondary school teachers in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province. Based on Cochran’s formula, a sample of 337 teachers was selected by proportional stratified random sampling. The quantitative research method is correlation studies and covariance-based structural equation modeling approach. Organizational knowledge creation was used to collect data from organizational knowledge creation questionnaires, organizational resilience, and innovative organizational climate. Cronbach’s alpha techniques and confirmatory factor analysis evaluated the reliability and validity of the questionnaires. The results showed that a creative organizational environment and organizational resilience affect teachers’ OKC (p<0.05). A creative organizational climate positively and significantly affects organizational stability through organizational knowledge creation at the level of 0.001. The correlation coefficient between the innovative organizational environment with organizational resilience (0.69), organizational knowledge creation with innovative organizational climate (0.70), and organizational knowledge creation with organizational strength (0.75) is meaningful (p<0.01). Creative organizational environment affects teachers’ organizational resilience through OKC with a total effect and a coefficient of 0.89 with an indirect effect and a coefficient of 0.73 (p<0.01). According to the research findings, a creative organizational atmosphere can provide the basis for creativity and innovation, change the school, raise teachers’ performance, and provide the basis for realizing organizational goals.
