    Abstract:

    Organizations must continue to survive in a situation where the world is accompanied by rapid and major changes. In this situation, knowledge management is considered as an important resource in the field of creating a competitive advantage. Because organizations must create an environment for sharing, transferring and exchanging knowledge among members and train people in order to conceptualize their interactions. E-learning is one of the new educational methods based on information and communication technology, which, by focusing on humans as active learners, can transform all forms of education and learning in the 21st century and end the challenge resulting from the level of social demand for education and the lack of sufficient educational resources. As one of the most important and vital service systems of the society, it is not excluded from our other government institutions, and since the researcher is engaged in providing services in this institution, he understands the issue of learning and knowledge well in this collection.  

    Therefore, taking into account the mentioned matters and also the vital importance of this institution for society, it seems necessary to examine the impact of knowledge management processes on e-learning in it. Certainly, the need for its employees to use current knowledge and achieve the latest scientific and research achievements is very necessary, and on the other hand, the success of any system, and the changes that are made with the aim of reforming, are due to effective and efficient supervisions that are applied at different stages under various titles, which is the importance of applying knowledge management in e-learning. doubles  The general purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of knowledge management processes on electronic learning in the National Inspection Organization. Hypothesis: Knowledge management processes have an effect on electronic learning in the National Inspection Organization. Conclusion: Knowledge management processes have a significant effect on electronic learning in the National Inspection Organization. According to the results, the main hypothesis of the research is accepted at the first type error level of 0.05. Because the significance level for the regression model as well as the regression coefficient of the knowledge management component is almost equal to 0.00 and this indicates that both the regression model and the presence of the knowledge management variable in the model were significant. Also, the positiveness of the regression coefficient shows that this relationship is in a positive direction. This means that an increase or decrease in knowledge management processes will lead to an increase or decrease in the level of e-learning. The results of the Pearson correlation test also confirm the positive and significant relationship between knowledge management processes and e-learning in the research community. Because the significance level of this test is approximately 0.00 and the estimated Pearson correlation coefficient is 0.958.

    Statement of the problem

    Today's changing world demands that organizations look for new tools to survive and grow. One of the tools that can help organizations in achieving these goals is knowledge management.  Knowledge management is a process that helps organizations find, select, organize, and disseminate important and specialized information and knowledge that is necessary for activities such as problem solving, dynamic learning, and decision making (Tsangho 2008). Knowledge management can improve a range of organizational performance characteristics by enabling the organization to "operate more intelligently" (Wig, 1999).

    In today's fast-paced world, e-learning as a knowledge acquisition tool is rapidly expanding, developing and evolving. Such a growing trend requires practitioners to apply scientific and logical methods in the implementation, evaluation and management of e-learning projects. The ever-increasing progress in the field of computer science and the emergence and expansion of information networks, especially the Internet, have put new possibilities and methods in front of the planners and implementers of educational programs, and the past problems in the field of education, especially the limitations caused by the time and place of learning, have been reduced (Safavi et al. 2008). Since the National Inspection Organization, as the main supervisory institution of the country, needs to establish communication with the inspection bodies for efficient and effective supervision.

    Since the National Inspection Organization, as the main supervisory body of the country, needs to establish communication with the institutions subject to inspection for efficient and effective supervision, and in order to achieve such a goal and increase the role of the people in the matter of supervision, we need to change the view from traditional to modern supervision. Therefore, according to the above, the researcher decided to investigate the impact of knowledge management processes on e-learning in the country's inspection organization. They have lost their former importance. Organizations must continue to survive in a situation where the world is undergoing rapid and major changes (Iranshahi, 2017). In this situation, knowledge management is considered as an important resource in the field of creating a competitive advantage. In the current competitive conditions, the factors affecting the success of organizations are not only related to capital, labor and raw materials; Rather, it depends on the ability of the organization to produce knowledge among all members of the organization (Tsang Ho, 2008). Because organizations must create an environment for sharing, transferring and exchanging knowledge among members and train people in order to conceptualize their interactions.

    Nonaka & Takeuchi, 1995)).

    E-learning is one of the new educational methods based on information and communication technology, which by placing humans as active learners, can transform all forms of education and learning in the 21st century and meet the challenge of the amount End the social demand for education and the lack of sufficient educational resources (Razi, 2015).

    As one of the most important and vital service systems of the society, the National Inspection Organization is not excluded from our other government institutions, and since the researcher is engaged in providing services in this institution, he understands the issue of learning and knowledge well in this group.  

    Therefore, taking into account the mentioned matters as well as the vital importance of this institution for the society, it seems necessary to examine the impact of knowledge management processes on electronic learning in it, and due to the lack of such a study in the inspection environment, the researcher is trying to investigate the effect of knowledge management processes on electronic learning in the General Inspection Organization of the country. The health of the governance of executive bodies is certainly the necessity for its employees to use the latest knowledge and achieve the latest scientific and research achievements. On the other hand, success in any system, and the changes that are made with the aim of reform, are dependent on effective and efficient supervision that is applied at different stages under various titles, which doubles the importance of using knowledge management in e-learning. Investigating the impact of knowledge management processes on electronic learning in the National Inspection Organization. Special objectives: Investigating the impact of knowledge acquisition on electronic learning in the National Inspection Organization. Investigating the impact of knowledge creation on electronic learning in the National Inspection Organization. Investigating the effect of knowledge storage on electronic learning in the National Inspection Organization. Use of knowledge on e-learning in the National Inspection Organization.

    Investigating the effect of knowledge retention on e-learning in the National Inspection Organization.

    Applied objectives:

    This research, by examining the effect of knowledge management processes on e-learning in the National Inspection Organization, seeks to improve the productivity of the researched organization as much as possible and, as a result, provide better services to the society. to do
