Analyzing the barriers to the optimal implementation of the performance management system in the Iranian steel industry chain

Iran's steel industry chain is very important as one of the key industries which is the driving force of many other industries. The purpose of this research is to prepare the companies of this industrial chain for the optimal establishment of the organizational performance management system (PMS) by identifying the barriers investigating the relationship between them and also determining the priorities for removing the barriers in this chain. In this regard, barriers to the optimal implementation of PMS were extracted from the literature review. Validation of identified barriers to PMS optimization was conducted through semi-structured interviews with industries experts. BY Using IMS method, the relationship between barriers and the priority of removing the final barriers was identified. The results show that the government's involvement in policy-making is the main barrier. The existence of many resources in the country (Iran) and the costs of performance control are also among the root factors. Therefore, it seems that removing these three barriers are the first priority to optimize the performance management system.
