Abstract :
The present study was carried out with the aim of designing a human resource management development model based on a sustainable supply chain in the shipping industry. The current study is an applied-developmental research in terms of its purpose, and based on the method and time period of data collection, it is also a non-experimental (descriptive) survey-cross-sectional research. A mixed exploratory (qualitative-quantitative) research design was used to achieve the research objective. The community of participants in the qualitative section includes the senior managers of the shipping industry in Chabahar port. With the purposeful sampling method and after 16 interviews, theoretical saturation was achieved. The quantitative part of the statistical population was made up of shipping managers and experts of Chabahar port. The sample size was estimated to be 131 people using the method of effect size and test power, and sampling was done using a simple random method. Data collection was done with semi-structured interview and researcher-made questionnaire. To analyze the data in the qualitative section, the theme analysis method was used with MaxQDA software. In order to identify the pattern of relationships between structures, structural-interpretive modeling (ISM) was used with MicMac software. The research findings showed that 201 primary codes were identified in the open coding section. Finally, 4 overarching themes, 14 organizing themes and 76 basic themes were obtained through axial coding. And based on the obtained results, human resource development has an effect on human resource empowerment, and empowerment by influencing human resource satisfaction, human resource participation, job motivation and human resource commitment leads to customer orientation and performance management. These factors, in turn, affect the sustainability strategy and sustainability of suppliers. The mentioned components, by influencing economic performance, social performance and environmental performance, ultimately lead to organizational sustainability.
