Then, identification of the items related to challenges of applying electronic education was done. In the next step, based on interactive management method and by using interpretive structural modeling (ISM) software, which is one of the methods of qualitative research, the viewpoints of 7 experts in the field of electronic education in the National Gas Company of Iran, who were selected purposefully, 7 items were determined as the final challenges of applying electronic education. Eventually, the structure of the relationships among these items and the level of their significance was depicted in the form of an interactive network. According to the final results of the survey, the most important critical factors of application of electronic education in the staff section of the national gas organization were in lack of instruction and weakness in providing laws and regulations, lack of algorithm and specific executive method, weakness in network communication, improper information giving about the capacities of electronic education, insufficient content, incorrect execution of electronic education, and lack of incentive on the side of staff members. identification of the interrelation of critical factors showed that lack of instruction and weakness in providing laws and regulations was one of the most fundamental challenges of applying electronic education in the national gas organization, which has had remarkable impact on other critical factors.
