Designing and validating a model for evaluating the performance of organizational managers in the general Inspection Organization

The purpose of this study was to design and validate a model for evaluating the performance of organizational managers in the general Inspection Organization in 2018. The research method was applied in terms of purpose and in terms of the method of data collection, it was exploratory. The statistical population in the qualitative section consisted of 15 organizational experts and pundits (key informants and focus group) who were selected by purposive non-probability sampling method.

For data analysis, systematic coding method was used in qualitative part and descriptive statistics (average and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling by PLS) in quantitative part. Bootstrap and Friedman tests were used to calculate significance of path coefficients and rankings of indices and components. SPSS22 and smart - PLS 3 were used for data analysis. From the analysis of interviews, performance evaluation indices of managers were identified in three main components of personal, analytical and specialized skills. Based on the identified dimensions and components, the research model, while developing a theoretical concept in this regard, provided an indigenous model for evaluating the managers which effectiveness of the performance evaluation model of the designed managers will be effective on improving performance.
