Selection

The selection of knowledge workers in the organization is one of the main tasks of human resource management in the new era, and the lack of criteria and a coherent list of factors influencing the selection of these workers has been raised as a challenging issue in this field. The following article seeks to examine these influencing factors on the selection of Knowledge workers using a systematic review. The process of conducting a systematic research review is derived from the model of Okoli and Shabram (2017) and the selection steps of Silva (2015). Based on this, the number of 1976 articles published without time limit from the databases of Science Direct, Google Scholar, Normags, a comprehensive portal of humanities, the specialized database of Noor magazines, and the scientific information center of academic jihad were examined, and analyzed. In the final step, effective factors were extracted from 16 articles. The findings of the research were presented in the form of three categories of knowledge, skill, and ability, and finally, the key characteristics of knowledge workers were divided into two parts: some characteristics are non-developable and fixed, and others are developable and variable.
