چکیده

ابتکارات تعالی کسب‌‏وکار به سازمان‏ها در توسعه و افزایش قابلیت‏های مدیریتی در راستای دستیابی به سطح عملکرد بالا و رقابت‏پذیری بیشتر کمک می‏کند. به طوریکه با پیاده‏سازی مدل‏های تعالی و خودارزیابی مبتنی بر آنها، امکان تعریف پروژه‏های بهبود مختلفی ایجاد شده و با اجرای اثربخش آنها، بلوغ تعالی و عملکرد کلی سازمان ارتقاء و بهبود می‏یابد. لذا اجرای موفق پروژه‏های بهبود به عنوان رکن اصلی مدل‌های تعالی‌سازمانی، از عوامل اصلی اثربخشی این مدل‌ها است. تحقیق کاربردی حاضر درصدد است با واکاوی چگونگی مدیریت پروژه‏های بهبود، مولفه‏های آن ‏ر‏ا در پیاده‏سازی مدل‏های تعالی کسب‏ و‏ کار شناسایی و دسته‏بندی کند تا راهنمایی برای پیاده‌سازی آنها در سازمان‌ها باشد. در این راستا با مرور ادبیات تحقیق و نیز انجام مصاحبه‏های نیمه ساختار‏یافته با خبرگان، پانزده مولفه مرتبط با چگونگی مدیریت پروژه‏های بهبود شناسایی و احصاء شده و با استفاده از یک پرسش‏نامه اعتبارسنجی شده، اهمیت آنها مورد ارزیابی قرارگرفته است. با کمک تحلیل عاملی اکتشافی، مولفه‏های مرتبط به چهار عامل اصلی شامل تعریف و اولویت‏بندی، اجرا، رسمیت بخشی و حمایت، پایش ساختاریافته و یکپارچه پروژه‏های بهبود دسته‏بندی شده‏اند. این تحقیق با شناسایی و دسته‏بندی مولفه‏های پروژه‏های بهبود، زمینه‏ساز ایجاد درک و آگاهی وسیع‏تری برای مدیران و کارشناسان در پیاده‏سازی مدل‏های تعالی کسب‏ وکار و افزایش اثربخشی فرآیند تعالی‏‏گرایی سازمانی می‏باشد.
