The national innovation system as the most important systemic approach to innovation includes the elements and connections that are in interaction with each other for the production, distribution and utilization of modern and useful knowledge and act within the borders of a country. One of these elements is the Research and Technology Organizations which are the connecting links between university, industry and government. Among the most prominent of these organizations in Iran is University Jihad. The present paper is an attempt to study the impact of organizational culture on the success or achievement of University Jihad. Hence after reviewing the related literature and interview with experts, the conceptual model was formulated and then after preparation of measurement tool and assessment of its validity and reliability, the questionnaire was prepared and distributed among a sample consisting of 252 people. The statistical population included faculty members of the University Jihad with at least two years of experience. The sample was collected through random stratified sampling method and the model was finalized through structural equation modeling. The findings of the research indicate that there is a meaningful positive relationship between organizational culture and organizational success and its aspects (financial, scientific, technological, social and economic). Among the variables of organizational culture, the ‘culture of learning incentive’ influences the organizational culture of the University Jihad more than other indicators. Also among the dimensions of organizational success or achievement, the social aspect of achievement has the highest impact on organizational success or achievement while financial aspect has the lowest impact. Given the significance of social aspect of success, one may conclude that the University Jihad should increase its success in boosting the national innovation system through playing a role in the development of new and key technologies, commercialization of required technologies and supporting the policies meant for technological development.
