چکیده [English]

This research, based on a mixed methodology, seeks to construct an interpretive structural modeling of the causes of job boredom among the employees of the operational units (line) of the Ilam Province Electricity Distribution Company. The participants in the study are 16 key informants who were invited for in-depth interviews through a purposeful method. After ensuring the reliability of the data, a paired questionnaire was distributed among the participants in the previous stage for the purpose of modeling. The results showed that the interpretive structural model of the causes of job boredom is organized with 6 factors at 3 levels. At the first level, individual causes, intra-organizational causes related to the job, intra-organizational causes related to the organizational context, and extra-organizational causes were identified. At the second level, intra-organizational causes related to the organization's social environment, and at the third level, intra-organizational causes related to human resource management were found.
