University of Tabriz Journal of Knowledge-Research Studies 2821-045X 2 4 2024 03 01 The Moderating Role of Knowledge Inertia on the Relationship Between Organizational Learning Capability and Organizational Innovation The Moderating Role of Knowledge Inertia on the Relationship Between Organizational Learning Capability and Organizational Innovation 23 42 17742 10.22034/jkrs.2024.59936.1055 FA Azam Kazemi MSc, Information Technology Management- Information Resource Management Department, Ahvaz Branch, Islamic Azad University, Ahvaz, Iran. Mohammad Reza Farhadpoor Associate Professor, Information Science and Knowledge- Information Management Department, Ahvaz Branch, Islamic Azad University, Ahvaz, Iran Journal Article 2024 01 05 Purpose: This study aims to explore the role of knowledge inertia in shaping the connection between organizational learning capability and organizational innovation. Methodology: The research employed an analytical survey approach, with a sample size of 223 out of 350 employees from Amirul-Mominin Ahvaz Hospital selected using Cochran's formula. Data was gathered through a questionnaire with established validity based on previous studies (18 questions by Yavas & Celik (2020) for organizational learning capability (α = 0.853), 27 questions by Calik, Calisir & Cetinguc (2017) for organizational innovation (α=0.879), and 14 questions by Liao, Fei & Liu (2008) for knowledge inertia (α=0.826)). Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 24 and Amos software. Findings: Results indicated that organizational learning capability (mean = 3.27), organizational innovation (mean = 3.23), and knowledge inertia (mean = 2.20). The study confirmed a significant impact of organizational learning capability on organizational innovation (β=0.85, t-value=12.814), with knowledge inertia playing a negative moderating role in this relationship (β=-0.207, t-value=-2.168). Conclusion: While organizational learning capability positively influences organizational innovation, the presence of knowledge inertia acts as a barrier, inhibiting the full utilization of knowledge assets. Value: Understanding and addressing knowledge inertia can enhance organizational innovation efforts, unlocking the potential for value creation through effective knowledge utilization.

Methodology: This applied research utilized a survey methodology and a scientometric approach based on altmetric indicators. The statistical population for this study comprised all medical articles from 2018 available in the PubMed medical database. Data collection was facilitated through the use of the bookmarklet tool, which is accessible for free on the Altmetrics Institute website. Findings: The results revealed that 23% of the articles mentioned at least once on social networks received an altmetric score. The average citation count for articles with an altmetric score was 2.91. The altmetric average for all articles was 0.6 compared to the average citation count of 1.6, indicating that articles received roughly a single citation for every altmetric score. Among social networks, Twitter was the most popular with 1036 articles (21%), followed closely by Mendeley with 935 articles (19%). Conclusion: The coverage of altmetrics for articles in Iranian medical journals listed in the PubMed database was found to be satisfactory. The study also highlighted a significant and positive correlation between the number of citations received and the altmetric score, suggesting that articles with higher citation counts were also more frequently discussed on social networks. Value: This article provides insights into the altmetrics of medical science articles indexed in a reputable medical database, with the measured indicators relevant for use in various scientific social networks.
