“…Several researchers have stated their interest in introducing KM methods in sport organizations and understanding individuals' attitude and preferences towards new knowledge (Winand and Anagnostopoulos, 2017;Winand et al, 2016). Delshab and Sadeghi Boroujerdi (2018) stated that sport organizations should attempt to leverage and update the level of employees' knowledge through coding plans in order to create a more appropriate context for the application and creation of a desirable KM. According to O'Reilly et al 2007, workplace tools and structures which efficiently facilitate knowledge creation and sharing are essential to develop sport organizations' performance.…”

“…According to Delshab and Sadeghi Boroujerdi (2018), to be independent from the traditional team and club managements which are not mostly based on scientific resources, sport organizations should build up significant factors of unlearning which is the process of discarding misleading knowledge and obsolete routines influencing learning process in organizations. By doing so, they could be successful in generating and sharing knowledge among the employees.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between employee values and knowledge management (KM) in sport organizations. Design/methodology/approach Data (N = 234) were collected online through a structured questionnaire from employees of 33 sport organizations in Iran. To test the hypotheses, Pearson correlation test and a regression analysis was conducted. Findings The results from the study revealed that there were significant relationships between employee values and KM. Both instrumental and terminal values significantly influenced KM. Research limitations/implications One limitation of this study is related to the generalizability of the results. Therefore, the current study is required to be replicated with other sport organizations in various sectors (public or private) to improve external validity of the results. Practical implications Based on this study, employees of sport organizations in developing countries tend to store knowledge more than sharing and applying it. The findings can be used by human resources and KM practitioners who are interested in developing organizational knowledge through employees’ values. Originality/value Through this study, the positive roles of employee instrumental and terminal values, as the key drivers in determining intangible assets in organizations, were found.

“…Non-profit sport organizations (NPSOs), such as sports clubs, are often challenged by forprofit sport providers and competitions with other NPSOs to increase members and resources such as finances, facilities, and volunteers (Ratten, 2017). Consequently, NPSOs spend more effort to build effective knowledge management (KM) structures for developing individuals and social possessions in their organizations and make themselves more efficient and flexible to members' demands (Delshab & Sadeghi Boroujerdi, 2018;Girginov, Toohey, & Willem, 2015). KM belongs to the knowledge flow and the process of creating, storing, sharing, and applying knowledge (Alavi & Leidner, 2001).…”

“…Therefore, the application of knowledge processes for organizations' success in the long term require organizations to develop and implement unlearning context . Unlearning context is an emerging area in NPSOs, and its beneficial effects on KM in sport organizations have been recently studied (Delshab & Sadeghi Boroujerdi, 2018). According to Delshab and Sadeghi Boroujerdi (2018), non-applicable knowledge could be removed through the application of unlearning process and NPSOs could be more efficient to accommodate increasing knowledge and its transfer from other resources.…”

The current study purports to investigate how unlearning context influences KM in CSCs, leading to organizational performance in a sport context, where a call for a shift in institutionalized, archaic values has been made (Burton & Leberman, 2015;Cunningham, 2019;Spaaij et al, 2018).…”

The authors examined the effect of unlearning context on organizational performance of community sport clubs (CSCs) via knowledge management. The board of directors of CSCs in Iran were invited to participate in this study. The research employed the multidimensional constructs of unlearning context, knowledge management, and organizational performance. The findings indicated that unlearning context had positive effects on knowledge management and organizational performance. Knowledge management played a role of partial mediator in the relationship between unlearning context and organizational performance. Nonprofit sport organizations need to take advantage of promoting unlearning context to facilitate acquisition, creation, sharing, storage, and application of new knowledge among members, which in turn, could help them perform better. The study provides both theoretical and managerial implications that promote sport clubs to apply unlearning context and knowledge management processes to increase both financial and non-financial aspects of their organizational performance.

In the fast‐changing world of business, organizations including individuals and groups/teams need to unlearn old knowledge and learn new knowledge and routines to stay competitive. The purpose of this study is to review the current studies on unlearning in organizations and to integrate the findings to provide insights on how to better manage and facilitate the process of unlearning. We reviewed 37 empirical and related studies to reveal the current research perspectives on unlearning in the workplace. We also identified 30 antecedents promoting unlearning and 44 outcomes of unlearning at the individual, group, and organizational levels. These antecedents and outcomes related to learning, knowledge, and innovation are key HRD research topics. Discussion, implications, and recommendations for future research are presented.
