Abstract :

Objective: To explain and present a model of criteria for an e-HRM sourcing system to promote administrative health in the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC).

Research Methodology: A qualitative study using thematic analysis. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 15 NIOC experts (purposive sampling) and analyzed using MAXQDA software.

Findings: The final model includes 7 main themes and 17 sub-themes. Key criteria for success are an integrated electronic system, management support, competency, transparency, rule of law, justice-orientation, and accountability.

Originality/Scientific Value Added: By providing a localized, expert-driven model for NIOC, this research offers an operational framework for implementing e-sourcing with the specific goal of reducing corruption and promoting administrative health.
