Objective: The objective of this research is to present a model of emotional well-being for human resources in subsidiaries of Iran's electricity industry.
Methodology: Based on the data collection method, the study is descriptive-analytical, and from a research approach perspective, it follows an inductive-deductive process. In the qualitative method, thematic analysis based on Braun and Clarke (2006) was employed. Interviews were conducted with 15 experts and specialists with extensive experience and postgraduate education in academic fields, as well as managers of subsidiaries within Iran's electricity industry. This process was carried out purposefully and continued until theoretical saturation was achieved with 14 participants. Using document analysis (reviewing books, articles, and related studies), initial interview questions were developed. Before conducting each interview, the researcher provided an explanation to the interviewees about the research topic and objectives, and then requested their responses to the interview questions. The interview texts were analyzed using MAXQDA software.
Findings: From the analysis of 15 interviews, a total of 124 initial codes were extracted. Following the analysis of the interview texts, 57 basic themes and 9 organizing themes were identified.
Conclusion: In the final stage, reviewing the organizing themes yielded 4 overarching themes, titled supportive policies, social interactions, a positive work environment, and mental health.
