Abstract
In recent years, the need for innovation in the functioning of educational systems has attracted the attention of many experts and planners in the field of education. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the mediating role of knowledge architecture of human resources in the relationship between digital competence and innovative performance of elementary school teachers in Yazd city. The descriptive research method and the statistical population included elementary school teachers in Yazd city in the second semester of 1402-1401, among whom 230 people were selected based on the rule of 5 times the number of questions using stratified percentage sampling. In order to collect data, Saedi et al.'s knowledge architecture questionnaire (2018), Bettin et al.'s (2023) digital competence questionnaire and innovative performance questionnaire derived from James and James (2008) and Peniads (2006) questionnaires were used. The research data were analyzed at two descriptive and inferential levels using SPSS statistical software and PLS structural equation software. The research findings showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between digital competence and innovative performance (p<0.05). Also, the knowledge architecture of human resources plays a mediating role in the relationship between digital competencies and innovative performance. The obtained results showed that the digital competence of teachers in schools increases their ability to acquire, store and transfer the required information and knowledge and ultimately causes innovation in their educational performance. Therefore, it is suggested that educational workshops be held to improve and strengthen the digital skills of teachers and to use the necessary systems for knowledge architecture in schools in order to create innovation in the educational performance of schools.
