Abstract
the present study aimed to measure the effectiveness of knowledge management maturity on teachers' performance. This research is applied in terms of purpose and is a descriptive and survey type of research. The statistical population of the study included elementary school teachers in Chamestan city in the academic year 2023-2024. Based on the Karjisi and Morgan formula, 136 people were selected as a statistical sample through simple random sampling. In collecting data to measure the level of knowledge management maturity, the Asian Productivity Assessment Model and Patterson's Job Performance Questionnaire (2008) were used. In the first part of this study, the theoretical foundations were first explained using the library method, then information was collected through questionnaires, and then the relationship between knowledge management maturity and teachers performance was evaluated using SPSS software, Pearson's test, and regression. As a result, the findings from data analysis showed that there is a significant direct relationship between knowledge management maturity and teachers performance at a moderate level. Also, based on the adjusted R2 value, the results indicated that knowledge management maturity explains 32.4% of the changes in teachers performance.
