Identifying and Categorizing Human Resource risks Based on the Strategic Orientation of the Organization and Groups of Employees in the Top Manufacturing Companies in Iran

The purpose of this study is to identify the risks of human resources in the top manufacturing companies in Iran. For this purpose, through a systematic review of information resources and previous studies and by refining 300 risks, a list of 35 correct risks of human resources was extracted and introduced.Then, using the opinions of experts, these risks were validated and assigned to different groups of employees, and 15 new risks were added. Thus, in order to answer the main research question, 50 human resource risks of the top manufacturing companies in Iran were identified and introduced.Forty-five human resource managers and specialists working in the top 21 manufacturing companies in Iran were the experts of this research, who were selected in a targeted manner and snowball.The top companies were selected based on the results of the Industrial Management Organization (IMI100) ranking in a targeted and quota manner.Findings show that all risks have been validated and 70% of the risks have been approved by more than 80% of experts. Also, deputies, managers, key employees and talents took the highest risk among different groups of employees, respectively. But on average, the number of risks associated with other groups of employees (staff / queue and experienced / inexperienced) did not differ much.
