Abstract

In the field of organizational management, examining the reaction of employees to unfavorable conditions within the organization and factors effective in creating tensions, such as job dissatisfaction, is of particular importance. This study is applied in terms of its purpose and descriptive-survey in terms of its nature and method. The statistical population includes senior managers and human resources managers of government organizations, and a sample of 20 people was selected using purposive sampling. The data collection tools included interviews (in the qualitative part) and questionnaires (in the quantitative part), whose validity and reliability were confirmed using content and theoretical methods, as well as by measuring intra- and inter-coder reliability. Qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis and Maxqda software, and quantitative data were analyzed using the ISM method. The research findings identified the dimensions and components affecting civil disobedience in human resources in four main areas: formation contexts, intervening factors, dimensions and consequences of civil disobedience in human resources.
