Abstract :
Background and purpose: Elite turnover refers to the transition of individuals between positions within the management sector. By comprehending the functions and significance of utilizing the skills and talents of elites, it becomes possible to identify the underlying causes and potential repercussions of elite turnover in the public domain. The aim of this research is to perform a structural-interpretive modeling analysis of elite turnover in the public sector.
Research method: The determinants of elite turnover were elucidated through a grounded theory methodology and comprehensive interviews conducted with twenty-five professors and subject matter experts. Subsequently, the structural-interpretive modeling technique was applied to analyze the relationships between the dimensions and indicators of elite turnover. Finally, MICMAC analysis was utilized to categorize the variables based on their level of impact and susceptibility to influence by other variables.
Findings: According to the leveling model, the research findings indicated that the most significant effects pertained to "manager turnover at the macro and national levels" and "the political structure of the government," while the least influence was associated with "the social and political sphere.
Conclusion: Ensuring the avoidance of politicization and disregarding aesthetic criteria in the selection of elites within the management sectors of governmental organizations will be instrumental in the long-term preservation and retention of such elites.
