Abstract

The present research tries to provide a model for measuring the degree of compatibility between personal and organizational goals. The research question is what is the appropriate model of measuring compatibility and degree of compatibility between personal and organizational goals? For this purpose, we chose workers of Isfahan's Mobarakeh Steel Company as our statistical population. In order to gather data, we made use of analyzing documents and conducting investigative deep interviews, employing a descriptive method of research. The degree of compatibility between personal and organizational goals is determined by a developed model. The results showed that the general compatibility was 74%, the level of personal goal achievement 61% and the level of organizational goal achievement 87%, which mark a moderate degree of compatibility. In the end, suggestions are offered to managers for the implementation of alignment model.
