Although succession is an effective strategy to focus on creating a regular structure for organizations, many companies lack regular succession planning, so that people with the necessary skills and expertise cannot be placed in specific positions. Based on this, the aim of this article is to find the effective components on succession with the approach of attracting and developing academic talents in engineering companies. In this research, a qualitative meta- synthesis method has been used. After conducting a keyword search in reputable national and international databases from 1997 to 2023, a total of 2,181 studies are identified, and 91 studies are selected for the purpose of analysis and information extraction. After conducting analysis, succession planning with a focus on attracting and developing university talents at engineering companies is categorized into 5 dimensions Including: creating commitment, determining policy, attracting and developing academic talent, leadership improvement program and program evaluation and 11factors and 30 sub-factors. Based on the finding, it is worthwhile mentioning that the components of succession planning are determined with a focus on attracting and developing university talents, due to which this research can assist companies to formulate and implement succession planning programs having employed university talents.

However, traditional learning approaches do not meet the needs of these enterprises. Based on this, the aim of the present study was to provide a suitable learning framework for knowledge-based enterprises. In order to achieve this goal, the meta-synthesis qualitative method of selection and in-depth analysis of the subject literature were employed based on the seven steps of Sandolowski and Barso. By reviewing the literature, 250 identified sources were analyzed using meta-synthesis method. The results indicated that the components of extra-organizational environment, organizational environment, the essence of knowledge-based enterprises and learning approaches are important aspects of the learning framework of knowledge-based enterprises. Each of these components included sub-components that affect learning in knowledge-based enterprises; therefore, considering the sub-components in the turbulent extra-organizational environment, the organizational environment is affected by the emphasis on agile structure, open culture, collaborative culture, organic job design and independent work space. The essence of knowledge-based enterprises was formed around the orientations including expertise, innovation, team, learning, communication and knowledge. Finally, the three learning approaches of interest in knowledge-based enterprises included experiential learning, self-directed learning, and collaborative learning, which in the literature were the most suitable for this kind of enterprises. Therefore, it can be concluded that paying attention to the identified components along with its sub-components could play an important role in formulating a suitable learning framework for knowledge-based enterprises.

In qualitative phase, statistical population included academic informants and electric industry’s human resource managers and talents from whom 19 people were purposefully selected and profoundly interviewed. The collected qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis technique and its validity was confirmed applying member checking, data source triangulation and peer debriefing techniques. In quantitative phase, statistical population consisted of 279 talents from which 134 people were selected randomly as a sample using levy and lemeshaw (1981) formula. Data was collected applying researched- administered questionnaire which contain 56 questions. Structural equation modeling with partial least squares (PLS) approach was used to analyses the collected data. So, in order to do second order confirmatory factor analysis, Smart-PLS3 was utilized. Finally, findings obtained from thematic analysis showed that the main talent development mechanisms in Iranian electric industry were categorized into Internal/external organizational sessions, vertical career path, horizontal career path, self- development, coaching, succession planning, training, performance management, job design techniques, team working, learning by doing, knowledge sharing, and networking. Results of one sample t- test indicated that all identified mechanisms were evaluated adequately by electric industry’s talents. Furthermore, confirmatory factor analysis’ results showed that all observable and latent variables’ factor loading were above 0.70 and were confirmed at 0.01 levels. In other words, the 13 mechanisms identified in qualitative phase can be considered as the fundamental factors of talent development and it can be predicted applying them Manuscript profile -

The methodology of the research from the viewpoint of purpose is functional and from the viewpoint of data gathering is qualitative. In this research, first the related evidence and research were examined based on accessible sampling method. 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. The applications of the findings of the research and suggestions for future research have been provided at the end of the paper. Manuscript profile -
