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. Non-profit 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.
