    Abstract

    The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between knowledge leadership style and the level of application of human resources information system in executive bodies of Kerman city in 2013. The statistical population of this The research consists of 174 managers and deputies using the Cochran formula of 120 people in 60 executive units. This research is one of the applied researches in terms of its nature and method. The measurement tool is the "knowledge leadership style" questionnaire and the "human resource information system measurement" questionnaire. The reliability of the human resource information system questionnaire is 93 percent, the reliability of the knowledge leadership style is 89 percent, and the reliability of the human resource information system is 94 percent. To test the hypotheses, the Kendall and Spearman correlation coefficients were used through SPSS software. According to the obtained results, it is clear that there is a positive and significant relationship between the knowledge leadership style and the level of application of the human resource information system. There is a correlation between knowledge leadership style and the level of application of human resources information system with the presence of moderating variables (age, gender, marital status, level of education and work experience). Therefore, it is suggested that managers and vice-presidents of organizations use the human resources information system in performing their work. Key words: leadership, knowledge leadership style, information system, human resources information system. The arrival of new technology has created high capabilities in today's life. These capabilities have been to such an extent that since then they are called as a revolution in human life today (Soryaei et al., 2013: 2).

    Information system is a system that finds data from different units and produces information and provides relevant, timely, accurate and sophisticated information to different levels of managers for optimal decision-making (Mir Ahmadi, 1377:15).

    Human resource management information system. It is able to be used as a very valuable tool by producing, organizing, maintaining and distributing human resources information to the managers of the organization at different levels of decision-making (Alavi, 1385:1).

    Leadership is influencing and influencing people (Amirkabiri, 1384:104).

    Leadership does not include the use of coercion and force, and a manager who resorts to force to direct the activities of his subordinates is not exercising leadership. (Qalipour Soleimani, 1380: 54).

    The determination of society is guided by the country's management system, and leadership is one of the important roles of management. In management, the term leadership means influencing and influencing the behavior of subordinates to guide them in fulfilling their organizational duties. In order to fulfill his leadership duties, the manager communicates with his subordinates, supervises them, creates motivation for work and activity in them, resolves their differences and, if necessary, brings about changes in their working conditions. Therefore, these efforts are aimed at achieving the needs and goals of the organization and its members. Therefore, leadership in management is important.

    In this chapter, an attempt has been made to address the issue, the importance and objectives of research, definitions and concepts around terms, and research variables.

    1-2- Statement of the problem

    One of the important tools in the human resource management system, especially in large organizations, is the "human resource management information system". This information system is able to provide the necessary information for the decision-making of the middle managers and senior managers of the organization in relation to the management of the human resources of the organization by using databases related to the human resources of the organization (Tareghi and Esmaili, 2016: 45).

    In a systemic view, it can be said that this information system can be considered as a "sub-system" in the organization's management information system, and as a system itself, it includes inputs from data related to human resources and outputs that are used for planning necessary at different levels of the organization's management (Alavi, 1379: 36). They are under pressure to the strategic goals of the organization. In this way, human resource management should be faster, more accurate and more efficient than before. On the other hand, the growth of the dimensions and operations of the organization, as well as the lack of centralization, and the distribution of traditional human resource management tasks among operational managers, have made it impossible to achieve the above demands without having the right tools. Traditional methods are no longer able to respond to these growing demands. Therefore, in order to fulfill the above demands, human resource information systems have become a basic tool in the service of managers (Lawden[1], translation by Rezaizadeh, 1387: 27).

    Today, one of the problems is the lack of application of the appropriate information system. Management information systems have the ability to process information in the fields of demographics, education, employment, as well as factors affecting labor supply and demand, which will ultimately be of great use in manpower planning. By having the required information through forward-looking management, managers can prepare to face current and future problems before the onset of any crisis (Kiani, 1388:1).

    If not long ago, knowledge management was an interesting topic in thought centers, now the talk of knowledge leadership has come up and has attracted the attention of thinkers active in the fields of management and information. Of course, these two topics are not separate from each other and they overlap in many topics. Knowledge leadership indicates a significant change in the challenges faced by managers in recent years (Bratton [2], 2000: 89).

    One of the important tasks of management is leadership. The first task of leadership is to express vision and values ??in an organization. Leadership in the concept of its organization is not a separate and independent part of project management, but is considered one of its major and main tasks (Alwani, 1374: 138).

    The need of society for leaders and their performance is obvious. The influence of effective leaders is clearly shown many times on a national scale in the history of each country and on a local scale in the past of any organization, the organization without effective leadership faces a problem. From here, the importance of good leadership has always been desired (Fidler [3], Farsi translation, 1372: 9).

    No doubt, knowledge leaders are a new form of organizational managers. These managers do not fit into conventional organizational charts. This category of managers is often found at the points of connection within organizations and right on the border of sharing departments and organizational units. The command and control positions of the organization are usually not devoid of this type of managers (Carlsen and Kein [4], 1979: 36).

    Providing a definition for the knowledge leader requires accepting and having a realistic understanding of this title. It also requires that an educated person, when hearing this term, considers the responsibilities of knowledge management focused on the development of knowledge management functions and solutions (Bass [5], 1990: 19). The analysis of knowledge leadership showed that the dimensions of knowledge leadership are (Vitala [6], 2004: 528): Guidance for learning, creating an atmosphere to help learning. Support the learning process at the group and individual level. The main tasks and the main role of a leader is as a facilitator of learning in his unit. In addition, the dimensions of knowledge leadership can be considered as the main goals in guiding the activities of a leader (Tapsel[7], 1999: 20).

    Knowledge leadership is defined as a process in which another person supports group members in the learning process needed to achieve group or organizational goals (Stagdale[8] , 1974: 9).

    Human resources is the most valuable and important asset of an organization. Human resources should be considered as the most important capital of an organization, which plays a key and important role in the achievement of the organization's goals (Bahrani and Sukhkian, 2008).
