Given the importance of performance management in improving organizational performance, the present study was conducted to design a model for performance management based on components of talent management.

This study was applied in terms of objective and mixed (qualitative and quantitative) in terms of research method. The population of qualitative study included literature on performance management based on the components of talent management during 2001-2021 and the population of quantitative study included managers and employees of the airports and air navigation of East Azerbaijan Province in 2021 (n=240). The sample size of qualitative study was n=30, and n=144 in quantitative study, who were selected as according to the table of Karjesi and Morgan by simple random sampling method. The tool of qualitative study was note-taking of the researches; and a 90-item researcher-made questionnaire in quantitative study, whose validity and reliability were appropriate. The qualitative study data were analyzed by coding method and MAXQDA; and quantitative study data were analyzed by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and structural equation modeling using SPSS and LISREL.

The results of qualitative study showed that for performance management based on components of talent management, 158 indicators and 71 components were identified in 6 categories, including talent sourcing, talent retention, talent development, creativity and innovation, performance development and professional competencies. Also, the results of quantitative study showed that the factor load of all 6 categories and 90 items was higher than 0.50 and the reliability of all categories was calculated higher than 0.90 by Cronbach's alpha. In addition, the performance management model based on components of talent management had a good fit and this model had a direct significant effect on all six categories (P<0.001).

The performance management model based on the talent management components designed in the present study had a good validity. Therefore, to improve performance management, it is possible to provide the basis for improving the components of talent management.

The aim of this study was to identify the psychological characteristics of senior executives at the National Oil Distribution Company of West Azerbaijan (IRAN). In this study, the postmodern paradigm, phenomenological strategy, and hidden content analysis technique with semi-structured (in-depth) interviews with senior managers (up to theoretical saturation) were used. The number of senior managers was 16 and the sampling method was purposive (judgmental) and theoretical saturation was obtained from 10 individuals in the interviews. Interviews were analyzed through open coding and axial coding using MAX QDA12 software. The psychological characteristics of top managers in the study community were identified in five components of altruism, ambition, foresight, compatibility with others, and internal domination. Managers can fully rely on themselves by identifying and utilizing their psychological traits, enhancing their sense of doing and enhancing employee motivation and commitment, as well as enhancing productivity and success and enhancing employee performance and success. Ensure the survival of their organization. Finally, based on the results, some suggestions were made to the study organization.
