Designing and Explaining a Framework for Identification and Classification of Human Resource Risks: Application of Qualitative Approach

Document Type : Research Paper

Abstract

Human resource has long been considered as a vital resource for success in most organizations. In spite of this attention, it has always been regarded as a value producer capital. Except for few cases, the risks relating to human resource have not been studied systematically. This research is intended to have a general look at risks relating to human resource. Aspects and components of these risks are studied in an important company at power industry by having semi-structured interviews with human resource expert groups selected by non-probability judgment sampling method. The interviews were continued through snowball and theoretical saturation method. The dada was analyzed by NVIVO software through content analysis. The reliability of the coding was confirmed by Kappa inter-rater reliability coefficient. The study resulted in four main themes, 12 secondary themes, and 49 concepts relating to the risks of human resource.
