Abstract: The purpose of this research is to design a model for investigating the factors influencing organisational performance among employees of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Iran. After distributing the questionnaires, 324 completed questionnaires were used for data analysis and the relationships between the research variables were tested using the structural equation modelling (SEM) approach. The findings indicated that organisational culture has a positive effect on knowledge sharing. Also, knowledge sharing has a positive effect on organisational agility and knowledge sharing and organisational agility have a positive effect on organisational performance. The results showed that pay attention to the development of an effective organisational culture, and facilitating the process of knowledge sharing and organisational agility can lead to the increased organisational performance.
