Abstract

The present study was conducted to identify the dimensions of the competency model of policymakers in the security domain. This research is exploratory in terms of purpose and employs a qualitative method. The dimensions and indicators of policymakers were determined through thematic analysis to identify the dimensions and competencies of policymakers. The statistical population of this part of the study consisted of written resources related to policymakers in the provinces of Isfahan and Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, as well as expert policymakers with at least 10 years of experience. Sixteen individuals were purposefully selected as the sample. Ultimately, the policymakers' competency model in the security domain was identified, comprising six dimensions: (1) expertise in policymaking, (2) consulting with others and considering the opinions and suggestions of experts, (3) impartiality and avoidance of personal gain, (4) commitment and adherence to the system, (5) attention to public interests, and (6) understanding security issues. Additionally, seventy policymaking competencies were extracted.
