In order to check the validity of the questions, purposive sampling method was used among organizational and academic experts, of which 15 people were included as a statistical sample. In the second and third stages of validity of the questions, to strengthen the screening process, the snowball method was used to compile the sample, which after saturating the data of 32 final experts for the exploration section and building a conceptual model participated. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software to cluster the indicators and create research components and Smart PLS software to confirm the research model.

Together, they will be empowered in the collective, team, and organizational spheres when the culture of bureaucracy, internal reward, fundamental self-efficacy, and interactive policy come together. Conclusion: After exploratory factor analysis and component classification, the fit of the model obtained from the previous step was investigated and confirmed with a good fit.
