In the first stage, using semi-structured interviews with managers and officials in the field of human resource management and staff performance evaluation of one of the four forces of the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the harms of the staff performance evaluation system have been identified. In the second stage, the validity and fit of the model were examined using a questionnaire and statistical tests. In the qualitative section, after collecting information, the theme analysis method was used to analyze the interviews. In the quantitative part, the data have been analyzed using structural equation tests and SPSS and smart PLS software. The reliability of the questionnaire was also confirmed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.81.
Findings: 342 primary codes extracted from semi-structured interviews were classified into 23 organizing themes and 3 overarching themes. The results of statistical tests confirm that measurement, structural and general models are necessary.
