Abstract

Purpose: This pathology study aims to align the employment and self-sufficiency area of the Imam Khomeini Relief Committee with new policies and solutions.
Methodology: According to the collection data method, the study is practical because of its purpose and descriptive survey. We collected the information after studying the literature and interviewing with scientific and executive experts. We tested the hypotheses' conceptual model and the edited research's final hypotheses with the questionnaire tool. The statistical population of this study includes all employment areas all over the country and the bosses of half of the offices of the township Relief Committee, which is 1800 people. The validity of the questionnaire was approved by experts in the area of employment of the central office, and so the reliability questionnaire was confirmed with Cronbach Alpha, 0/946. To measure the alignment gap and investigate pathology hypotheses with one sample T-test, each dimension was used to compare the mean in the two current and ideal situations and rank the effectiveness of the Friedman test. The research hypotheses were tested using Amos software.
Findings: Content, environmental, and structural factors also significantly affect alignment. So, a significant gap exists between employees' current and favourable employment and self-sufficiency situations and the three factors mentioned. According to the results of the Friedman test, content factors with the most impact and structural factors with the most negligible impact are ranked.
Originality/Value: Undoubtedly, the policies and strategies of an organization will be effective when there is a balance between the policy-maker and the planner and the executive body and or according to the common interpretation, alignment, and coordination of the master class is a necessary condition and a prerequisite for the success of the organization in achieving its goals.
