The main purpose of this research is to investigate the role of knowledge management in the holographic organizations. In order to achieve this purpose, after reviewing research background and theoretical foundations, the research’s conceptual framework has been presented. The statistical population includes Ilam Medical Sciences academic members. The method used is applied in terms of objective and descriptive-survey in terms of nature. Also, the data gathering tool in addition to archival studies is a researcher-made questionnaire the validity and reliability of which have been confirmed using experts’ viewpoints and Cronbach's alpha method, respectively. For analyzing the dimensions of conceptual framework, the Confirmatory Factor Analysis and also for measuring the correlations between conceptual framework’s dimensions the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) have been implemented. The research’s findings showed that there were positive and significant relationships between knowledge management’s dimensions and organization holographic nature, moreover, the conceptual framework has an acceptable and satisfied fitness to explain the relationships.
