Towards Appropriate human resource management in the administrative system of Agriculture Jihad of Iran: Yazd Province

Agricultural management is considered as a vital component of government frameworks in many countries, and transformation within this management is essential for improving the administrative system to implement policies and provide services. This qualitative study aimed to analyze human resource management (HRM) issues within the administrative system of agricultural organizations, using grounded theory as its methodological framework. The study’s population consisted of policymakers, planners, and managers working in the Agriculture Jihad Organization of Yazd Province, Iran. The population was selected via purposeful sampling. Data were collected through in-depth and semi-structured interviews, which continued until theoretical saturation and data redundancy were achieved. Through the coding process, identified issues in HRM within the agricultural administrative system fell into three main categories: a lack of design and establishment of an optimal performance monitoring and evaluation system, inadequate organizational performance in the domain of human resource development (HRD), and deficiencies in organizational management performance. Furthermore, by integrating the results from open and selective coding, a paradigmatic model of HRM issues in the agricultural administrative system was presented, incorporating causal, contextual, intervening conditions, strategies for action/reaction, and outcomes. Ultimately, based on this paradigmatic model, the interrelations among issues were elucidated within a conceptual framework, and studies were recommended to establish an optimal system for the performance monitoring and evaluation of employees. This was to create a connection between this system and the reward and remuneration system.
