Abstract :

purpose: The purpose of this research is to design and validate a model for evaluating the career success of public employees in public hospitals in Tehran. Methodology: The research methodology was based on the quantitative Delphi technique. This research has two statistical populations. The statistical population of experts includes academic and organizational experts (hospital officials and universities of medical sciences) to distribute the Delphi questionnaire and obtain feedback and statistical population of nurses of public hospitals to distribute the researcher-made questionnaire. The Delphi panel consisted of 10 experts in the two fields mentioned. The feedback from the experts was given in three stages. And it was based on a questionnaire. Findings: In the first round of Delphi, 326 indicators were evaluated, and in the second round, 256 indicators were evaluated in 53 components from the perspective of experts suitable for career success analysis. In the third round, the dimensions of career path success (17 dimensions) were evaluated in 4 axes of continuous improvement of objective (job) situations, institutionalization of mental acceptance of success, integrated policy making in building a career path and evaluation of the career success. The findings of the structural equations have shown the positive and meaningful impact of integrated policy making in building a career path on its three direct structures, i.e. Continuous improvement of objective (job) situations, institutionalization of mental acceptance of success and evaluation of the career success. Also, the findings showed that the structure of Continuous improvement of objective (job) situations, can have an effect on the realization of the elements of institutionalization of mental acceptance of success. Conclusion: Based on the findings, it can be concluded that in the design of career path success models, attention should be paid to the internal and executive alignment with the job realities of the organization and the demands of the forces. Government hospitals should take advantage of the employee-oriented approach in designing and developing career path plans for employees.
