As adaptation, flexibility, change, responsiveness, and agility increasingly become inevitable components of success; knowledge inertia stands as one of the most essential obstacles for contemporary organizations. Given the nature of their mission, knowledge inertia is specifically crucial for the effectiveness of educational organizations, yet it remains as an understudied concept that necessitates further efforts. This paper contributes to our understanding on the antecedents and the underlying mechanisms on how these antecedents yield to knowledge inertia via an original research model. We ran our analysis on the data from a total of 440 teachers working in public schools. Correlation analysis and structural equation modeling was used for testing the links between variables. Results of the path analysis indicate a significant positive direct effect of organizational cynicism on knowledge inertia, and negative direct effects on occupational commitment and organizational dissent. Both occupational commitment and organizational dissent affect knowledge inertia negatively. Although a full mediation was not validated, findings of bootstrapping analysis indicated significant indirect effects of organizational cynicism on knowledge inertia through occupational commitment and organizational dissent.
