The aim of this research was to analyze self-knowledge and other-knowledge (Jo-Hari window) of the employees of the General Department of Sports and Youth of Alborz province. The statistical population of this research was made up of the employees of the General Department of Sports and Youth of Alborz province (N = 129). Using Morgan's table, the number of statistical samples was estimated to be 97, which were selected through convenience sampling. The research method is applied and analytical, which was implemented in the field. In order to collect data, a 20-question questionnaire developed by Joseph Luft (1992) was used. Statistical methods include descriptive indices, graphical evaluation of self and others, and inferential analyses, including one-sample t-tests, independent t-tests, and one-way analysis of variance to compare the dependent variable based on qualitative demographic variables using Excel, SPSS, and Stata software. The results showed that scores of 27.80 and 28.5 were obtained from the total score of 50 related to providing feedback and willingness to disclose. In other words, the average level of 25 for each of the 2 mentioned factors exhibits a slight increasing trend, and thus, the level of the unknown quadrant has decreased very little. There is a significant difference in the willingness to disclose based on gender, as men had higher average scores. Additionally, the results showed that there is no significant difference among employees in the factors of providing feedback and willingness to disclose based on educational qualification.
