Abstract :

This study was conducted with the aim of presenting a model of integration policy-making in the country's banking industry based on network policy-making.The research method is exploratory mixed.In the qualitative part,theoretical saturation was reached after10interviews using purposive sampling.In the quantitative part,the statistical population included bank branch managers,who were estimated to be264people using the cluster-random method.The data collection tool was a semi-structured interview and a researcher-made questionnaire.The qualitative part was evaluated with Holst coefficient and Cohen's kappa,and in the quantitative part,validity(convergent and divergent)and reliability(Cronbach's alpha,composite reliability)were evaluated.Qualitative content analysis,partial least squares,and Swara methods were used to analyze the data.The interviews were coded using content analysis inMaxQDAsoftware,and the data from the questionnaire were analyzed using partial least squares in SmartPLS software.The findings showed that environmental assessment Banking,internal assessment,bank stakeholder assessment,and upstream documents affect network policy and merger policy.Network and merger policy affect bank merger.Ultimately,bank merger affects financial and non-financial performance.Therefore,it seems that network policy can guide and organize bank merger policy to improve the financial and non-financial performance of the bank.
