The results showed that all seven key factors of knowledge management success had a positive effect on organizational creativity and learning, but when the interaction and relationship of these factors and the effects of independent variables on dependent variables were analyzed, only two factors of knowledge-oriented strategies and policies and human resources management increased organizational creativity and learning simultaneity. It can be concluded that organizational creativity and learning can be improved in the Ministry of Sport and Youth through the development of knowledge management related factors.
