Presenting a Pathology Pattern of Career Path Planning with a High Performance Approach with Using the Fuzzy Delphi Technique

Considering the importance of career path planning and its pathology, the aim of this study was presenting a pathological pattern of career path planning with a high performance approach with using fuzzy Delphi technique.

This study in terms of purpose was practical and in terms of implementation method was descriptive from type of survey. The statistical population of this study was all the employees of Iran's gas transmission ten region. The sample size based on the table of Krejcie and Morgan table was estimated to be 323 people, but to be sure the sample size was considered 350 people, who were selected by cluster random sampling method. The tool of the current research was a researcher-made questionnaire of the pathology of career path planning with 132 items, which whose validity and reliability were evaluated as appropriate. Data were analyzed with methods of fuzzy Delphi, exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modeling in SPSS and Lisrel software.

The items of the researcher-made questionnaire of the pathology of career path planning were examined with a fuzzy seven-degree scale, and the investigations showed that after two Delphi rounds number of 128 items had an agreement coefficient higher than 0.70. Also, the categories of the pathological pattern of career path planning with a high performance approach had a factor load of higher than 0.50 and Cronbach's and combined reliability of higher than 0.80. The mentioned pattern had a good fit and in this pattern causal factors on the central phenomenon, central phenomenon, background conditions and intervening conditions on strategies and strategies on outcomes had a direct and significant effect (P<0.001).

According to the results of this study and the designed pathological pattern of career path planning with a high performance approach, appropriate planning with that is necessary to improve the career path.
