Abstract

This study aimed to design, explain, and fit a human capital management model for the education sector in Khuzestan Province aligned with Iran’s Seventh Development Plan. This applied study used an exploratory mixed-methods design. In the qualitative phase, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 12 experts and managers in human resource management and education and were analyzed using thematic analysis in MAXQDA. In the quantitative phase, the statistical population consisted of staff members of the General Directorate of Education in Khuzestan Province, from whom 168 participants were selected through random cluster sampling. The quantitative instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire developed based on the qualitative findings and scored on a five-point Likert scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS and Smart PLS through partial least squares structural equation modeling. Inferential findings indicated that the final model consisted of six dimensions: development of teachers’ professional competencies, talent and succession management, compensation and motivation system, performance management and productivity, organizational culture and climate, and strategic human resource planning. All 18 components had factor loadings above 0.40 and t-values greater than 1.96. The KMO index was 0.913, and Bartlett’s test was significant. Cronbach’s alpha, composite reliability, and AVE values for all dimensions were within acceptable ranges. R² values ranged from 0.325 to 0.382, and Q² values ranged from 0.225 to 0.255. The GOF index was 0.412, indicating strong model fit. The proposed model provides a valid, localized, and practical framework for human capital management in education and can guide the improvement of competencies, productivity, motivation, talent management, and strategic alignment with the goals of the Seventh Development Plan.
