The purpose of the current study is to study the readiness of petrochemical companies for organizational learning and to present an appropriate structural model for the establishment of organizational learning and knowledge management in the National Petrochemical Company. To achieve the purpose, the mixed method of qualitative-quantitative was used. To know the current situation, the quantitative survey method/ survey electronically were used in the country with the return of 801 questionnaires from 18 petrochemical companies and the variables of organizational culture, learning styles and dominant trends of learning were examined. For elaboration on the current situation and expectations of the company, the qualitative approach and grounded theory were used and finally the results of qualitative and quantitative parts were mixed. The findings show that the organizational culture of petrochemical companies in the current situation has more skewers towards the hierarchy and to some extent towards the market, and the components of family culture and especially Ad hoc are poor. Also, among the four learning styles, in the company’s current situation the convergent and divergent poles are dominant and also assimilating and adapting styles have less frequency. In terms of existing training programs, the general attitudes can be observed to the personal acquisition of knowledge instead of attending the formal training programs. Also, the qualitative findings and the results of interviews highlighted the changes in three areas; requirements, key processes, learning operations for the establishment of organizational learning.

Implementing Performance Management System (PMS) is seen as a main concern of enterprises. According to research findings, near to 70 per cent of enterprises’ evolutionary programmes, such as: Strategic Planning, Knowledge Management, Performance Management, and Total Quality Management (TQM), have been failed due to a lack of enough motivational factors. Therefore, it is important to identify and trigger motivational factors of enterprises in order to decrease the failure rate of their evolutionary programmes. PMS as one of these evolutional programmes needs to be aggravated by the relevant motivational factors; and therefore, the current study seeks to identify these motivators in Iranian large enterprises. Further to identifying these motivators, the current study explores the interdependencies amongst the motivators in order to weigh their importance as well. Semi-structured interviews and Interactive Management (IM) as two qualitative research methods were used to explore the ideas of PMS experts in six Iranian large enterprises. All of the interviews and IM sessions have been transcribed and coded in three stages, using Strauss’s open coding process. Idea Writing, Nominative Group Technique (NGT), and Interpretive Structural modeling (ISM) were also used in the process of gathering and analyzing data in IM stage of this research. According to the findings of the current study, the most important motivators of Iranian large enterprises to implement PMS in their businesses are: working in a competitive environment, willingness of their leaders to make an evolution in their working processes, making sure of achieving their goals, matching between the enterprises and their employees’ goals, performance evaluation and adjusting their employees compensation system based on this evaluation, and finally, willingness to being recognized by their performance. Further to identifying the most important motivators of Iranian large enterprises in implementing PMS, the final model draw by ISM shows that existing a competitive environment is the most influential factor which affects all of the other motivators as well. Moreover, some of the other motivators, such as: performance-based compensation system, performance evaluation, and being recognized by the performance, are seen to mutually affect and interact with each other. The practical and research implications of the findings of the current study are also highlighted and the limitations of the study are discussed. Manuscript profile

Training and development advisors and experts are working hard today to gain a position for training procedures as equal as other organizational procedures. This effort has turned into a huge challenge for such practitioners. Under such circumstances, return-of-investment can be deemed both as an opportunity (if carried out properly) and a threat (if implemented improperly). Some believe that such an approach can help us integrate training into other mainstream procedures. Anyway, it is believed that formulating and conceptualizing such a strategy is a brave enterprise which needs to be managed reasonably.This paper aims at estimating the return-of-investment rate for project management training programs at Pars Oil and Gas Company (POGC). To analyze data, AHP strategy is used through Expert Choice software. The final rate was calculated as %59976. The calculated ROI sounds logically reasonable and indicates that the training program has been effective in essence. Manuscript profile

This study attempted to lay the ground for linking human resources data based on the results of the organizational excellence model for about 51 parent and subsidiary companies of the National Iranian Gas Company using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning methods. The goal was to present a model for clustering chief organizational managers based on the companies’ evaluation using the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM)-based excellence model. The unique characteristic of this method is that it is formed based on the actual performance and output of successful organizations, headed by successful managers and leaders. Accordingly, a performance-based excellence model can be achieved in the future. The outcomes of model evaluation for 2017, 2018, and 2019 for 51 companies affiliated with the National Iranian Gas Company were first clustered. Clustering was performed for 3776 pieces of data via AI-based methods, and coding was done in Python. This applied study aimed to design and develop a novel method for discovering the experts and scientifically classifying the organization’s human resources based on credible data. It also aimed to integrate novel scientific domains of AI, including clustering, to pave the ground for human resources research. In the applied dimension, the results were used in organizational planning and decision-making to generate a tool whereby the future managerial performance of the organization and staff can be predicted based on appropriate human resources data. Finally, a ranking is presented based on the competency gap by using Fisher discriminant ratio (FDR). Manuscript profile
