The qualitative research population consists of university faculty members who also hold positions in the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company, specifically in the fields of training needs assessment and human resources. Theoretical saturation was reached after conducting 20 interviews. The quantitative research population includes all managers of the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company, with a sample of 168 individuals determined using stratified random sampling and Cochran's formula. The validity of the study was confirmed by four experts and two colleagues, while reliability was calculated using the Kappa coefficient formula (0.633).
Findings: The results identified 61 indicators, 11 components, and four dimensions influencing competency-based training for managers. Finally, structural equation modeling was used to determine the impact of the identified factors. The findings indicated that competency-based training needs assessment and educational demand creation had the highest impact on competency-based training of managers in the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company, with a coefficient of 0.977.
