Abstract
This article aims to identify the factors influencing the enhancement of human capital through knowledge sharing within an organization involved in technology R&D, innovation, and knowledge management. Knowledge management, particularly knowledge sharing, is recognized as a crucial strategy for developing human capital and creating a competitive advantage. The article initially addresses the significance of human capital, including the knowledge, skills, and competencies of employees, and analyzes its role in organizational innovation and productivity. The research methodology involves a combination of qualitative data from semi-structured interviews and quantitative data from questionnaires based on thematic analysis. The statistical population comprises managers, senior experts, and employees of the "Daneshvar" institute, and various statistical tools, including the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test, Bartlett's test, confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation modeling, composite reliability, convergent and discriminant validity, and the goodness of fit index were employed for data analysis. The research findings indicate that the most significant factor is activities related to knowledge sharing. These activities include sharing experiences, technical and scientific knowledge, and improving employee skills. Other factors such as effective leadership, establishing communication networks, and organizational learning culture also have a substantial impact. Furthermore, creating knowledge management tools, developing a reward system, and establishing active learning environments are among the suggestions. The results demonstrate that enhancing human capital through knowledge sharing leads to improved productivity, development of capabilities, and increased innovation within the organization. The article emphasizes that to achieve these goals, modern knowledge management methods and an appropriate organizational culture must be utilized.
