Abstract: (12 Views) |
The current qualitative research aims to explore the dimensions and barriers of the sustainable production system in Iran's petrochemical industry using a meta-synthesis approach. Through searching scientific databases and theoretical sampling, 29 articles out of 1526 related articles published between 2015 and 2024 were retrieved according to the PRISMA guideline and the Critical Appraisal Skills Program's validation tool. Qualitative content analysis of these articles was conducted using Sandelowski and Barroso’s seven-stage model. By performing open and axial coding of the articles' content, a total of 45 codes and 12 themes were identified. The findings revealed that barriers to the sustainable production system in the petrochemical industry are related to at least one of the organizational, governmental, informational, managerial, market, complexity, external, human resources, environmental, social, economic/financial, and technological dimensions. Therefore, despite the potential capabilities of the sustainable production system, if the barriers to its acceptance and implementation are not properly understood and addressed, it may result in negative financial and credibility outcomes for the industry.
