Abstract :

The purpose of this research is to design a model for evaluating the policies of proportionalization of administrative system formations in Iranian National Oil Company. In this regard, the research method was a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods and tools with an applied orientation along with survey strategy and inductive approach. The qualitative part of the research included a review of the records and background of the research and conducting library studies based on the content analysis and meta-composition methods and the Delphi technique, and in the quantitative part, several techniques and tools were used, including interpretive structural modeling and structural equations, factor analysis, pairwise comparison matrix, and questionnaire tools. By carrying out the qualitative stage and refining and screening and verifying the achievements in the quantitative stage, finally 89 indicators in the form of 11 dimensions and 35 components, under the four main concepts of "policy evaluation", "proportionalization", "administrative system formations" and "macro environment" were counted and classified. In the next step, by identifying the relationship and mutual effect of the identified factors, the evaluation model of the design policy and finally the validity and reliability of the model was put into the test and approved. The issue of the optimal size of the government and the public policies related to it has been discussed and debated among political and economic experts for about three decades in the documents of the government and the ruling space of the country with different expressions such as "downsizing", "privatization" and "rationalization". Following the studies conducted in this research, with the premise that on one hand, the correct and scientific evaluation of public policies has an undeniable role in the successful implementation of policies, and on the other hand, in our country, the issue of evaluating public policies has always been like a missing link in the space that governs this territory and better management of resources in Iranian National Oil Company.
