Presenting a model for the establishment and maintenance of expert human resources in the government organizations of Sistan and Baluchestan province by Majid Reza Dahmardeh, Vahid pourshahabi, Amin Reza Kamalian, Habibollah Salaerzehi

“…The results show that in this research, the dimensions of maintaining expert human resources include: behavioral, structural, contextual, and normative/attitudinal factors; and 31 components, based on the output of structural equation analysis and path analysis technique, the path coefficient of behavioral factors is 0.901, structural factors 0.886, contextual 0.821, and normative/attitudinal 0.840, in which the behavioral factors have the greatest impact and the job satisfaction component with a significant number obtained from the T-test equals 24.004 and the path coefficient 0.901 has played the greatest role in maintaining expert human resources in the government organizations of Sistan and Baluchistan provinceExtended abstractIntroductionHuman capital is considered the most complex and valuable capital in any organization, which plays the main role in realizing the organization's goals. If we carefully study the national wealth of a society, we come across two types of capital resources: material capital and human capital, meanwhile, it is the existence of trained and expert human capital that uses material capital, and its lack and deficiency is the reason for the loss and stagnation of the national capital and the decline of production and reproduction (Armestrang, 2018). …”
