Abstract :
Today, human resources empowerment is considered as an essential and important process in leading organizations. One of the basic needs of the third millennium organizations, considering the difference and variety of definitions and interpretations in the field of human resources empowerment, is developing a valid and executable model. Therefore, the present study aimed to design a human resource empowerment model in the National Iranian Standards Organization. For this purpose, a qualitative and quantitative mixed approach has been used to design and develop a comprehensive model. Also, the present study is an exploratory, survey, causal, applied and fundamental research in terms of the purpose and method. The research statistical population consists of the staff of the Iranian National Standards Organization (400 persons) as well as experts and academics in the field of human resources empowerment and human resources managers of the Iranian National Standards Organization. In the first step, the categories were extracted by interviewing human resources and human resources empowerment Managers of the Iranian National Standards Organization to design the model; then, the research questionnaire was distributed among the staff of the organization that 302 questionnaires (75.5% rate of return) were returned and analyzed. The results, obtained from the analysis, showed the importance of relationships and components of the proposed model.
