Abstract

Objective: This study aims to identify and model the critical components of Human Resources Development (HRD) within the Iran Meteorological Organization. The focus is to assess current HRD elements and propose an effective HRD model.

Method: A mixed-method approach was employed, integrating both qualitative and quantitative research methods. The study involved collecting data through interviews, questionnaires, and document analysis, followed by a comprehensive evaluation of the HRD elements present in the organization.

Results: The findings reveal a multifaceted HRD structure, encompassing doctrinal, political, social, economic, and entrepreneurship aspects. While certain dimensions like technology, culture, and communication are above average, others such as doctrinal, political, and economic aspects require significant improvement. The study also highlights the organization's potential and the need for strategic enhancement in specific areas.

Conclusions: The study concludes that the Iran Meteorological Organization exhibits a complex HRD framework with varying levels of effectiveness across different dimensions. It underscores the necessity for targeted strategies to bolster weaker areas, particularly in doctrinal, political, and economic aspects. The proposed HRD model aims to guide the organization towards comprehensive development, ensuring a balanced growth across all identified dimensions.
