Abstract :
Decent work is a concept that encompasses various aspects of fair wages, job security, social support, and opportunities for personal development and growth, influencing employee well-being, job satisfaction, and overall organizational performance. The aim of this study is to explore the drivers and consequences of "decent work". This research is applied in terms of purpose and from a typological perspective, it is a mixed exploratory study with an inductive approach. In the qualitative section, the meta-synthesis method was used, and studies conducted on the drivers and consequences of decent work in reputable databases during the years 2013 to 2023 were collected and reviewed, with a total of 53 sources used for final analysis. In the quantitative section, the fuzzy Delphi method was used to screen and confirm the findings of the qualitative section. The statistical population of the quantitative section was experts from the Mostazafan Foundation of Islamic Revolution, of whom 26 were selected through purposive sampling. Based on the research findings, the drivers of decent work were classified into 3 categories: environmental-social, structural-organizational, and individual-occupational drivers. The results showed that consequences of decent work can be classified into four categories: individual, behavioral, occupational, and organizational consequences. Among the drivers of decent work, the highest rank belongs to work autonomy, and among the consequences, the highest rank is related to life and job satisfaction. By understanding the identified factors, policymakers and managers can create effective strategies to improve work environment and create favorable work atmosphere.
