Abstract

Purpose: This study was conducted with the goal of developing and describing a career path model based on fairness at Dana Insurance. The success of career path programs should be coordinated with the organization's human resources programs to aid the needs for employee progression in a working period in such a manner that the organization's human resources approach its objectives. Because the process of personal planning of working life contains non-native components, an indigenous model was attempted to be constructed in this exploratory study to arrange the career route.
Research method: The study was conducted qualitatively, and 44 components were found via interviews with 28 academic experts working in Dana Insurance, from the sampling approach through the theoretical saturation stage, and then through two fuzzy Delphi phases. They were classified into eight major categories based on their weight and score.
Findings: According to the findings, the eight components, which include challenging work, latitude, balancing work and personal life, job security and stability, creativity and innovation, task competence, managerial competence, and service to others, are directly related to the career path model based on Fairness and have an impact on Dana insurance company.
