Identification and explanation of the effective factors influencing on the strategic control utilizing self-control approach in the insurance industry

Today many management science experts acknowledge that although formulating a strategic plan and a statement of missions, views, and goals are the organization managers’ significant responsibilities, they would not be sufficient to achieve a strategic success. Actually, the strategic control is considered as the final step in the strategic management process which plays the role of an appropriate performance warrantee for this process as a whole. This would be of a greater significance especially in the insurance industry as an effective factor for economical development of countries and an effective instrument in risk management. Therefore, utilizing the combined approach, the current study has identified and explained the effective factors influencing on the strategic controls associated with a self-control approach in the insurance industry. The data-based approach is applied to the qualitative part of this research. Accordingly, when the process is accomplished, 6 main items would be identified and presented in the form of the strategic control patterns. In the second (quantity) part of the research, assuring the sampling adequacy, utilizing KMO indicator and the Bartlett Test, the obtained model is processed, validated and examined by Confirmatory Factor Technique and Structural Equation Model. The obtained results confirm a positive and meaningful relation among the research variables. Therefore, it could be claimed that the considered relations of the model would be true and reason
