Abstract

The present study aimed to provide an inter-organizational cooperation management model in oil companies in the Pars Energy Special Economic Zone. This study was conducted in two stages: conceptual research framework design and validation. The first part included the senior managers of oil companies in the Pars Energy Special Economic Zone, and 10 subjects were selected as the sample. In the second part, the population included all employees, from whom 116 samples were selected. After identifying the components, indicators, and criteria, the Delphi questionnaire and a 5-point Likert scale were used to collect data. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed using the CVR index and exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, while its reliability was evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha. Data analysis was performed using the Delphi technique, one-sample t-test, and structural equation modeling in SPSS and Lisrel statistical software. The results identified four dimensions, 17 components, and 63 indicators for the inter-organizational cooperation management model in the Pars Energy Special Economic Zone oil companies. Environmental, cultural, organizational, and leadership style dimensions are the dimensions of inter-organizational cooperation management in oil companies in the Pars Energy Special Economic Zone. Such factors are the most significant among the identified dimensions of environmental dimension with a load factor of 0.99, cultural dimension with a load factor of 0.82, organizational dimension with a load factor of 0.79, and a leadership style dimension load factor of 0.89 respectively than other dimensions to the concept of inter-organizational cooperation management model in oil companies in the Pars Energy Special Economic Zone. The results indicated that designing the inter-organizational cooperation management model is divided into four environmental, leadership, cultural, and organizational dimensions. The environmental dimension includes political, business process, economic, developmental, legal, and technology, and the cultural dimension includes the components of conflict management, information sharing, participation, and commitment. The organizational dimension consists of the components of philosophy, processes, coordination, and strategy, and the leadership style dimension encompasses the components of collaborative leadership, multidisciplinary decision-making, and adaptation to management style
