Validation of the Human Resource Development Model in Non-Governmental Organizations

This study employed a descriptive-survey methodology and is applied in terms of its objective. The statistical population consisted of all employees in non-governmental organizations. Based on Cochran’s formula and to ensure sufficient sample size and questionnaire return rate, 400 questionnaires were distributed among the selected sample units. A total of 384 completed and valid questionnaires were collected. For sampling, a cluster random sampling method was used. The research instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire developed based on qualitative findings, the validity and reliability of which were examined. To assess the reliability of the questionnaire, internal consistency reliability was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha on 15 preliminary questionnaires, resulting in a coefficient of 0.89. For data analysis, the structural equation modeling (SEM) method was applied using Smart PLS software. The results indicated that the individual, organizational, and environmental dimensions, as well as the designed components of the human resource development model in non-governmental organizations, had a significant relationship (P < 0.05). Additionally, the overall model fit (GOF) was calculated to be 0.62, indicating a good and strong model fit. It can thus be concluded that the human resource development model in non-governmental organizations is valid and can be effectively employed to promote and support the development of such organizations.
