The extracted themes were then presented to the experts using the Delphi technique. After Delphi approval, the model was designed. To validate the designed model, the model was developed in the form of a suitable questionnaire and the questionnaire was provided to 281 employees of the Social Security Organization of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province. The results were analyzed based on the structural equation model. Therefore, according to factor analysis, 8 factors and 45 items were extracted, which include: factor 1: independence (including 4 items); factor 2: responsibility (including 6 articles); factor 3: self-control (including 8 items); factor 4: self-esteem (including 6 items); factor 5: building trust (including 4 articles); factor 6: Modeling (including 5 items); factor 7: knowledge enhancement (including 6 items) ,and factor 8: work discipline (includes 6 items).
