Abstract
Abstract
Political behavior is one of the components of government organizations. These behaviors cause hypocrisy and administrative losses, which reduce organizational productivity; Therefore, awareness of the factors affecting political behavior in government organizations prevents the occurrence of challenges and plays an important role in limiting these behaviors.The main goal of this research is to design a model of political behavior in Iran's National Standards Organization. The research is developmental in terms of purpose, mixed (qualitative-quantitative) in terms of data type and its analysis method. In the qualitative part, by studying the background and research literature, dimensions and factors affecting political behaviors were identified. During interviews with 18 senior managers of the organization and academic experts, the themes were determined by thematic analysis method. Qualitative findings are 118 basic themes (indicators), 23 organizing themes (components) and seven overarching themes (dimensions).In the quantitative part, it was done with structural-interpretive modeling, leveling and determination of relationships between components. The components (pressure of the organization's political environment for decision-making, lack of structure of activities and ambiguity in the role and destructive organizational culture) are the most effective factors and conductors of others. The result of the confirmatory factor analysis test indicates the validity of the structure. Structural equations with PLS software were used to verify the variables of the model and its fit.
