Abstract

Background & Objectives: Organizations, especially in the public sector, are usually static and uniform until the continuation of this situation is no longer feasible or altered by external forces. This is rooted in organizational lack of movement, or in other words organizational inertia. The purpose of this study is to provide a suitable model for correct encounter with organizational inertia in North Khorasan University of Medical Sciences. Methods: The statistical population consisted of all personnel of the relevant organization. Using the Cochran formula, 170 people were selected by simple random sampling. The toolkit included library studies and questionnaires. Using descriptive and inferential statistics methods in AMOS and SPSS software, the validity and reliability of the research tool, regression analysis and structural equations were performed. Results: The average score of all factors was above 3, which is the highest amount related to knowledge management and the least amount related to psychological factors. After verifying the validity and reliability of the research tool, the results of the Structural Equation Model Questionnaire were obtained and, by analyzing it, the final model of the research was obtained. Conclusion: Organizational Inertia Management Model has four factors for knowledge management, change-setting activities, change management and psychological considerations in which knowledge management and psychological considerations improve the underlying changes in change management and change management. The underlying changes are also affecting change management.
