Abstract:

Present research has analyzed the amount of predicting human resources development, through  knowledge   management   value   chain   (creation,   storage,   distribution,   application).  All   of   the   employees   of   a   big  Iranian  Steel   Industry   Company   took   part   in   the   survey.   232   people   were  chosen by using systematic sampling method and the sample size formula. To collect data, two  researcher-made   questionnaires   of   knowledge   management   and   human   resources   development  have  been   used.   Also   content   validity  and   face  validity  of   questionnaires   in   this   research   were   confirmed  by  experts.  The  validity  of  both  questionnaires  was  estimated  by  using  Cronbach’s alpha  coefficient  (α)  which  equals  to  0.87  in  knowledge  management  and  0.83  in  human resources   development.   Analysis   of   the   data   is   done   by   using   inferential   statistics   (including Pearson r, analysis of variance test and multiple regressions). The result has shown that among the  variables   of  knowledge  management,     three  variables  (creation,  storage   and  application)   can  predict human resources development.
