Abstract
This research aims to design a model that can illustrate and analyze the features of work culture in different levels such as a specific industry, regional or national. For this aim, using the content analysis on academic experts’ opinion, scientific and religious text, the values and norms that are representative of work culture in Iranian society were identified. Using the force field analyses theory, findings were analyzed, and it is founded that deriving and restraining forces are two factors that forms the Iranian work culture. Furthermore, it is was founded that externally, these forces are negatively correlated to each other but internally, their attributes are negatively interrelated. Therefore, reinforcement of each attribute can lead to increase of other similar attributes and finally, weakening the other deriving or restraining factor. As a general conclusion, it can be said that to attain ideal work culture, two types of positive and negative actions are necessary. In negative actions, managers’ decisions are toward weakening the restraining forces and in positive actions, toward reinforcement of deriving forces.
