Abstract

The revolution of the fourth generation of technology has significantly transformed organizational processes. To succeed in such circumstances, the development of human capital compatible with this generation is an undeniable necessity. This study aimed to design and present the human capital 4.0 development model in the Tehran municipality. This research was exploratory in terms of purpose. Data were analyzed with a mixed (qualitative-quantitative) approach. In the first stage, the qualitative method and in-depth interviews were used to identify the components of the model. Participants in the quality section were 17 university experts and senior managers of Tehran municipalities who were purposefully selected. In the second stage, to fit the designed model in the qualitative part, the quantitative method and the structural equation modeling approach were used. The statistical population of this section included managers, experts, and employees of the municipalities of Greater Tehran, where 336 people were selected by Kline's (2005) formula and stratified random sampling method. The data collection tool in this section was a researcher-made questionnaire whose validity and reliability was confirmed. Qualitative data analysis was performed by a coding method using MaxQDA software and quantitative data analysis was performed by Smart PLS software. The results of the qualitative section showed that the 4.0 generation human capital model includes 64 primary codes, 11 sub-categories, and 4 main categories of digital competency, digital skills, digital organization, and digital resources. The results of the quantitative part of the designed pattern have an acceptable fit.
