Abstract
The present study aims to validate a model for reducing job plateauing among human resources in the Water and Wastewater Company. In terms of purpose, the research is fundamental; in terms of paradigm, it is grounded in positivism; in terms of implementation, it is quantitative; and in terms of data collection, it is descriptive-survey in nature. The statistical population consisted of 800 managers and experts from the Sistan and Baluchestan Province Water and Wastewater Company, from whom the sample was selected using simple random sampling. Cochran’s formula was applied to determine the sample size for the distribution of the final questionnaire, resulting in a sample of 262 respondents. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire whose validity and reliability had been confirmed. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS and PLS software. The results of factor loading analysis indicated that all items related to the environmental-social dimension had factor loadings above 0.7, demonstrating that they measured each component effectively. Moreover, the t-statistic for all dimensions of reducing job plateauing among human resources was greater than 1.96, indicating that all dimensions of job plateau reduction—including individual, organizational, job-related, and environmental-social factors—were in a favorable condition.
