Abstract :

The purpose of the present research is to investigate the position of the components and influencing factors in the alignment model of petroleum refinery projects related to the country's industrial strategies in the Ministry of Oil. The current research can be considered in the category of applied research in terms of the purpose and nature of the research. The current research implementation method is a descriptive survey, and the correlational research design is based on structural equations. The statistical population of the quantitative research includes all employees of the Ministry of Oil and Petrorefineries in Tehran. A simple random sampling method was used in the quantitative part of the research. To estimate the sufficient number of samples in this research, Cochran's sample estimation formula was used. The statistical population in the field of structural equations of the research includes 600 employees of the Ministry of Petroleum and Petrorefineries of Tehran city with the required number of samples and in the field of multi-criteria decision-making, the team of research experts is also included. Data analysis was done using SPSS and Smart-PLS software. The findings of the research show that based on the alignment of the refinery projects with the country's industrial strategies in the Ministry of Oil, alignment enablers include the maturity of communication and management factors and the exercise of authority, strategic technology planning and organizational architecture aligned with technology, partnership factors, human resources (innovation, entrepreneurship, Expertise, knowledge) and distinctive competence factors that lead to the realization of optimization results and reduction of capital and current costs and synergy in both sides of petro-refining and industry are of special importance.
