In the quantitative stage, 156 employees of Samat organization of Kermanshah province were selected as a statistical sample in a simple random manner. The data of this stage were collected with a researcher-made questionnaire and analyzed using structural equation modeling. The productivity of human resources was considered as the main theme and the organizing themes and the basic themes related to the factors were also identified and the relationships between them were shown.
