According to the results, rapid developments and advances in technology and organizational factors as the most important causal conditions, economic costs and pressure from upstream organizations as the most important intervening factors, the existence of roadmaps and programs as the most important underlying conditions, developing a strategic model of force adjustment Humanity and regular and continuous evaluation of human resources as the most important strategies and increasing the productivity of the organization as the most important outcome were identified.
