Abstract

This research aims to design a Grounded Theory-based model for talent management for future Iran. Moving from the present to the future, the lack of human resources will become a serious problem for Iran. Therefore, to overcome the coming difficult days, it is necessary to identify and nurture the existing talent well, and since the best time to identify and develop talent is childhood, adolescence, and youth ages, and people are in school and university, at this age, so the education cycle is the best cycle for talent management. This research was conducted to compensate for the lack of human resources through optimal control of talent. The research method is sequential mixed (the qualitative section is preferred to the quantitative section). In the quantitative section, 10 expert professors were interviewed, and the results were analyzed through the Grounded Theory method and 122 codes were obtained as 6 axial categories. Then, the model was designed. The designed model was tested using a sample including 400 people and finally, suggestions were presented.
