The purpose of this study was to predict job performance based on knowledge management and psychological empowerment. The research employed a descriptive-correlational design. The statistical population included all physical education teachers in Sarab County (N = 106). The entire population was selected as the sample using a census method. Data were collected using the Job Performance Questionnaire by Ramazani-Nejad (2013), the Psychological Empowerment Scale by Spreitzer and Mishra (1995), and the Knowledge Management Questionnaire by Hemmati (2000). Pearson correlation and multiple regression analyses were used to test the hypotheses. The results indicated a significant relationship between knowledge management and psychological empowerment with job performance. The regression findings showed that knowledge management and psychological empowerment together explained 29.9% of the variance in job performance. It appears that enhancing teachers' awareness and knowledge, along with strengthening their cognitive empowerment, can lead to improved job performance. Therefore, in addition to teachers, educational administrators should also pay particular attention to this matter and make greater efforts toward implementing knowledge management principles.
