        The present study was conducted to investigate the role and importance of chief knowledge officers in knowledge management development at Shahid Beheshti University. Of a total of 831 academic staff a random sample of 135 was selected by Stratified Random Sampling method. To collect data, a researcher-made questionnaire was developed and validated by experts. Using quantitative approach, a descriptive correlational research was conducted. The 21 items of this questionnaire addressed the components of knowledge management (maintenance, acquisition, transfer, and application of knowledge) whereas other 19 items explored the impact of the chief knowledge officer. Research data were analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results showed a significant relationship between the role of chief knowledge officer and the components of knowledge management. In the light of chief knowledge officers’ position, the most important factor was the application of knowledge then the knowledge acquisition variable، knowledge transfer، and knowledge preservation were influenced by the role of chief knowledge officers in knowledge management development.
