The Identifying, Quantifying and prioritIzing the Components of reducing the Resistance of Managers of Government Organizations in the Administrative Transformation Plan

Purpose: The purpose of the current research was to identify, quantify and prioritize the components of reducing the resistance of managers of government organizations in the administrative transformation plan. Methodology: The mixed research method is based on exploratory mixed research. The statistical population in the qualitative section was university professors, managers and experts of executive bodies, in the quantitative section, managers and experts of government agencies, and in the prioritization section, high and middle managers of executive bodies of selected organizations. In-depth interviews were used in the qualitative part, questionnaires were used in the quantitative part, and matrix questionnaires were used in the prioritization part. Acceptability (expert review) and confirmability (expert review) were used to determine the validity and reliability in the qualitative stage, and in the quantitative stage, the validity of the questionnaires was confirmed by three methods: form, content and structure. Reliability was estimated and confirmed by three methods of determining factor loadings of items, Cronbach's alpha of components (between 0.760 and 0.888) and combined reliability (between 0.842 and 0.923). In the prioritization section, the content of the matrix questionnaire was approved by five academic and organizational experts in terms of comprehensibility and expressiveness, and the rate of inconsistency of the criteria was calculated and confirmed as 0.05 to 0.07. Qualitative data with ground theory technique, quantitative data with structural equation modeling technique and exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis tests in SPSS and Smart PLS software and in the prioritization section, data through hierarchical analysis (AHP) ) was analyzed in EXPERT CHOICE software. Findings: The results of the qualitative part indicated that the paradigm model has 10 dimensions (categories) and 22 components (concepts) in the form of causal, contextual, interventional, strategy and consequence conditions. Concolusion: The results of the quantitative part showed that all the components of the research model were confirmed. The results of the prioritization section have indicated the greater importance of the outcome and organizational productivity component.
