Abstract :

Background and purpose: Quantum succession is an emerging concept in the field of management that involves integrating the seven quantum skills of employees with succession policies and plans. This research aims to design a quantum succession model specifically for the gas company in Tehran province.

Research method: The current research is qualitative in nature. The study analyzed a total of 36 well-cited research sources, employing a content analysis approach across four core concepts. This resulted in the identification of 93 codes and 36 constructive themes, facilitated by the use of MaxQDA 10 software and the quantum succession model specific to the gas industry in Tehran province.

Findings: The findings indicate that the research model encompasses the relevant constructs of individual, organizational, managerial, and environmental factors. The identified factors were validated through reliability criteria, which include acceptability, transferability, reliability, and verifiability.

Conclusion: To enhance employee performance and drive the overall success of the gas company, it is essential to align macro-organizational strategies with the sector-specific human resources strategies, particularly in the areas of succession planning and productivity improvement.
