Petrochemical Industries

Since a major part of Iran petrochemical base products has been considered for export, it is essential and inevitable to consider international markets so as to examine the economic conditions of petrochemical development projects. The aim of the current work is to offer appropriate solutions to the facing challenges and to the development of innovation management model in the petrochemical companies producing polyethylene products and approaching new polyethylene goods. Data collection was conducted using the library and field studies; after taking these steps, 58 main indicators were considered by experts’ through screening among 130 extracted indices. Based on these indicators, a final questionnaire was designed by Likert scale and distributed. Finally, after receiving the comments of 105 managers and experts in 5 different petrochemical companies producing polyethylene on these indicators, the data were collected, and the research model was fitted using a structural equation and Smart PLS software. After fitting, 29 indices, 2 factors, and 6 dimensions were accepted for designing the model. The general dimension was composed of economic, organizational, regulatory, and supervision factors, while the specific dimension was formed of technological, technical, marketing, and systemic factors. According to the research conducted for successful innovation management, considering all the above-mentioned points is necessary in petrochemical companies producing polyethylene products. <strong><em> </em></strong>

The purpose of this article is to measurement and testing a high performance organizational culture model in Iran's petrochemical industries.This research is of quantitative type and in terms of purpose, exploratory and data collection method is survey and from the point of view of cross-sectional time. Data collection tool is a researcher-made questionnaire whose validity has been confirmed by industrial and academic elites. The reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha test (coefficient of 0.815). The statistical population of the study included 8050 employees of Petropars, Jam, Lavan and Fanavaran petrochemical companies working in Iranian Petrochemical Industries. The sample size was calculated by the Cochran's formula of 385 people. 420 questionnaires were distributed and 400 correct questionnaires were collected. The sampling method is stratified random. Data analysis was performed using structural equation modeling using Amos Software. The results of statistical analysis were confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis and in terms of significance by the method of structural equations up to the level of the main categories and after confirmation of formal and content from 400 experts and managers of petrochemical industries. In the next step with a quantitative approach, the current state of high performance organizational culture according to the pattern the extract was assayed. For this purpose, mean comparison, regression and repetition tests used. The results obtained from field survey indicated that the high-performance organizational culture model was approved and dimensions of Behavioral factors, Internal bedding factors, External bedding factors and Process factors were placed in the first to fourth priorities, respectively.
