Abstract

This study aimed to identify new human resource management strategies and present a localization model for municipal contractors in western Mazandaran. Using a mixed-method approach, key components were identified through literature review, expert interviews, and the Delphi technique. Data were analyzed using PLS software and statistical tests. The results highlight essential dimensions such as increased freedom and responsibility, improved supervision, budget allocation, problem-solving, foresight, and expert workforce development. Experts confirmed the model's suitability, though its implementation requires prerequisites like training, attitude change, and legal reform.     

Keywords:

New human management strategies, Localization model, Municipal contractors
