Abstract
Current organizations facing with increasing, complexity and unpredictability of changes and their survival in a changing and competitive environment depends on their ability to develop employees. The main purpose of this study was to design a human resource development model for the Ministry of Sports and Youth. The study was done in the framework of qualitative approach with applied purpose. The statistical population consisted academic, managerial and executive experts who were identified using Snowball sampling method. They were interviewed in a qualitative semi-structured pattern that was conducted in prior coordination with experts. Interviews continued until the stage of theoretical saturation (n = 14). Thematic analysis (theme) technique was used to data analyzes. To ensure the validity of the research, reviewing the method by samples (interviewees) and the multilateralization of data sources were performed and to calculate the reliability of the performed codlings, retest reliability and intra-subject agreement reliability (agreement between two coder) methods were used. After implementing the content of the interviews and their preliminary analysis, the initial codes or concepts were identified and in order to achieve the main categories, similar codes were placed in a category. Findings showed that the most important factors in human resource development in the Ministry of Sports and Youth include organizational, job and individual factors and also human resource development strategies. Implementing this model can create a systematic structure within the framework of criteria for the staff development of the Sports and Youth Ministry.
