Abstract

This article identifies the key factors influencing the organizational systematization promotion from the perspective of the sustainability paradigm in the oil and gas industry. This is a fundamental mixed paper (qualitative and quantitative). The qualitative population consisted of 25 expert subjects working for of oil and gas sector. The quantitative statistical population included all managers and senior specialists with at least 10 years of managerial work experience in various oil and gas sectors. The number of statistical samples was determined as 381 people through Cochrane correlation and was selected using a convenient sampling method. Data analysis was done in two qualitative and quantitative parts. In the qualitative part, by using the theme analysis, the output of the interviews was designed and presented in the form of a model of the key factors of improving system stability from the perspective of the sustainability paradigm in the oil and gas industry. In the quantitative part, the components of the qualitative model were converted into a questionnaire and after checking and confirming the validity and reliability, respectively, with the theme approach and checking the internal consistency of the items with Cronbach's alpha index, they were distributed among the statistical sample.
The results of the conceptual model validation indicate the approval of the model extracted from the qualitative part of the research; thus, the measurement model and the structural model have a good statistical fit. The results showed that the dimensions of improving organizational system ability from the perspective of the sustainability paradigm in the oil and gas industry include (quality of human factors, structural quality, stability and unity of procedure at macro levels, commitment to the core process, and process monitoring and performance management) and oil and gas industries policymakers should pay special attention to them to promote systemability from the perspective of sustainability policies in this industry.
