        The purpose of this study was to design and validat an individual development plan in Ansar Bank. The research method was a mixed approach. The statistical society of this research includes all administrators and employees of Ansar Bank, as well as human resource development experts working in different organizations with writings and experiences in the field of individual development planning. Sampling in the qualitative part of the research was done purposefully, and in the quantitative section, it was done randomly. Semi-structured interviews and self-designed questionnaires were used to collect data. Content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by experts and its reliability was assessed by Cronbach's alpha test. To analyze the findings of the qualitative section, open and axial qualitative analysis was used and a single-sample T-test was used to analyze the quantitative data. In total, qualitative findings were classified into 14 main themes: development strategy; comprehensive human resources management system; audience analysis (identification of individual needs); appraisal and merit analysis; goal setting; identification of organizational needs; organizational managers; outcomes; Feedback; the determination of education and development methods; the existence of timing; the development of culture; the elaboration of an executive mechanism; and the evaluation of the results. The fourteen themes extracted from the data analysis were eventually divided into three general categories: executive components, supportive components, and outcomes. The findings of the quantitative section showed that the various components of the model are valid from the perspective of the employees and managers of Ansar Bank and have the ability to implement in the bank.

        Individual development program is one of the key tools in directing human resources development and thus, is constantly an attractive field in human resources training and development. Developing models and operational paradigms in this area is a requirement for the management of human resources training and development. This study aims to propose a model for establishing and developing individual development program in pioneering organizations. The study adopted a qualitative approach using a theoretical study method. In order to identify the model elements, the authors employed expert interviews and afterwards, used nominal groups to establish the said elements. Finally, in order to integrate the data in a model and determine element relationships, the interpretative structural model (ISM) program was utilized. The interviewees were selected via theoretical sampling. The interviews were organized using open and axial coding and the data were classified using content analysis. Subsequently, the required contents and parameters were used as the input of interactive management sessions (based on nominal group approach) for the modeling process. According to the resulting consensual opinion and organizing, the model consists of five key components: institutional legitimization (L), financial, credential, and regulatory requirements and infrastructures (R), technical requirements and infrastructures (T), clinical information gathering for individual development program document (C), implementation and optimization of the individual development system (I). For easier naming of the model, the key words of each component were combined and the resulting LRTCI model was proposed as a comprehensive model and a solution for establishing individual development systems.
