Abstract

Organizational rip currents are a phenomenon that affects epidemic state management and the pillars of all government agencies. But the behavior of corporate managers can be effective in modifying this phenomenon. Therefore, considering the importance of managers' behavior in organizational rip currents control, this study was conducted with the aim of designing a model of professional behavior for managers facing organizational rip currents at Payame Noor University. In this study, seven categories of variables affecting the behavior of managers were identified through a comprehensive research literature review as well as the use of experts’ opinions. Then, using the Interpretative Structural Modeling (ISM) technique and a questionnaire, the variables were classified into five levels. Later, after determining the levels of each factors and also considering the final accessibility matrix, the final model of the interpretation structure was drawn. Based on the results of this study, variables such as ethics and managerial expertise and the changing environment of the organization are among the factors that have the most impact on the professional behavior of managers in dealing with organizational rip currents.
