Abstract
Identifying and controlling knowledge assets is essential for any organization, and proper utilization of this capital, in the presence of appropriate criteria and indicators, will affect the performance and not merely a qualitative assessment. Therefore, the researchers seek to identify the indicators of knowledge measurement of faculty members in Iran's universities. The present research, based on the objective, is a fundamental research component, based on the nature is the descriptive research component and based on the type of argument, is a component of qualitative research. The data collection method is library resources and questionnaires and the technique used is Fuzzy Delphi method. The Delphi panel was established with 17 faculty members who were selected by a judiciary. The results of the research showed that among 61 indicators extracted from theoretical literature, two index such as: guidance the undergraduate theses and the ratio of postgraduate students to total students, do not affect the knowledge measurement of human resources at universities in Iran, and there are consensus about other indicators.
