This study aimed to design and validate a human resource development pattern in knowledge-based companies affiliated with the National Iranian Oil Company, focusing on employee capability maturity. This research is applied-developmental in terms of purpose and a cross-sectional survey in terms of data collection method. An exploratory mixed-methods design was employed to achieve the research objective. The statistical population in the qualitative section included human resource professors and experienced managers from knowledge-based companies. Purposive sampling was used, reaching theoretical saturation with 10 participants. The statistical population for the quantitative section comprised 400 employees of knowledge-based companies within the National Iranian Oil Company, estimated using Cohen's effect size method. Stratified random sampling was performed. Semi-structured interviews and a researcher-developed questionnaire were used for data collection. Underlying categories of human resource development were identified using qualitative thematic analysis, and the final pattern was validated using the Partial Least Squares method. Qualitative data analysis was conducted with Maxqda software, and the quantitative section with Smart PLS. The results indicate that inconsistent management is the most fundamental variable in human resource development, impacting people management and capability management. These factors, in turn, influence competency management and transformation, leading to management talent development based on knowledge. This talent development culminates in human resource attraction, recruitment, and retention, as well as training and learning, subsequently affecting research and development (R&D). Ultimately, through ethically-driven performance and performance management, human resource development can be achieved via R&D.
