Presenting a Model for the Effective Implementation of Privatization Policy in Iran's Industrial Sector

The purpose of this research was to provide an effective implementation model of the privatization policy. This research is categorized as a mixed-method study according to its practical purpose and the method employed for the data collection and analysis. To present this model, an algorithm was designed, based on which the work steps were carried out. Initially, the related literature and similar studies were reviewed and the effective implementation factors were identified. Then, eight experts who were involved in drafting and implementing the privatization policy in the recent years were selected and interviewed. The interview data was analyzed using an interpretive method and the key factors contributing to the effectiveness of the privatization policy were identified. The factors obtained from the literature review and interviews were examined and integrated to formulate the initial model. In the quantitative part, from among the statistical population of 150 people, including experts who were involved in privatization, 120 experts were selected. Next, the factors and initial model obtained from the qualitative section were analyzed for validation. For this purpose, first, hierarchical clustering was done to cluster the factors, and based on the initial model, a questionnaire was developed. After ensuring the validity and reliability of the questionnaire, the data was collected. Since the data was not normal based on K-S test, the binomial test was used and the questions were answered, and the initial model was confirmed. The validity of the model was checked using confirmatory factor analysis and was confirmed. This model is proposed based on the analysis of the activities conducted in alignment with the Iran’s privatization policy during the period from 1380 to 1398, following the establishment of privatization organization.
