Learning is the fundamental human process by which information and knowledge are generated, distributed and used. Increasingly, learning is also seen as a characteristic of organizations, linked to the key features of an organization’s internal environment such as its culture, structure, management style and practices, and critically, the impact of formal and informal learning processes. Based on this, the purpose of this research was to examine the relationship between knowledge management and organizational learning among physical education teachers in Isfahan city. For this purpose, a total of 220 physical education teachers from Isfahan city participated in this research. There were 100 men and 120 women, and their ages ranged from 25-39 years-old.

The results showed that the correlation between knowledge management and overall organizational learning was that significant at the level of P<0.05. Furthermore, the correlation between knowledge management and organizational learning sub-scales was significant at the level of P<0.05.
