Based on findings of table 6, scores' range of competitive benefit is fluctuating between 7 and
19, and growth and innovation are fluctuating between 2 and 10. Mean of score of competitive
benefit, growth and innovation are 13.10, 6.50 and 6.67 respectively.
Table 7: Comparison of distribution of research variables' scores with normal
distribution
k-s-z P
Organizational culture 0.638 0.810
Organizational benefits 0.990 0.281
knowledge management 0.688 0.731
Based on findings of table 7, circumstantial evidence k-s-z is not significant on the level of
p≤0.5. Therefore, distributing of research variables' scores is according to normal distribution.
Pierson correlation coefficient has been used to test three first hypotheses about correlation of
knowledge management with each of the organizational benefits. Pierson correlation
coefficient shows the amount of linear relation between two intended variables and determines
degree of linear relation among them.

According to results of table 8, correlation coefficient between knowledge management and
competitive benefit is significant on the level of p≤0.5. Thus, there is a significant relation
between knowledge management and competitive benefit, in other words the first hypothesis
is confirmed on significant level of 99%.

According to results of table 9, correlation coefficient between knowledge management and
growth is significant on the level of p≤0.5. Thus, there is a significant relation between
knowledge management and growth, in other words the second hypothesis is confirmed on
significant level of 99%.
