In the qualitative stage, a team of experts in the field of organizational behavior and specifically the corporate culture including university professors and executives of the Mellat Bank (who dominate the issues of organizational behavior and culture) were selected to design the model based on the grounded theory methodology. Sampling in the first stage was done using snowball method, in which 9 interviews were conducted. In the second stage, 500 people were selected as the statistical population using the Krejcie and Morgan table.
