The present study aims to provide an interpretive structural model for knowledge worker retention in the oil industry value chain development. This research is based on the pragmatism paradigm in terms of mixed approach and in terms of content analysis strategy and interpretive structural equation modeling. Sampling was done based on the actor’s protocol to target information-oriented sampling and theoretical saturation was achieved with 15 interviews. Semi-structured interviews and questionnaires were used to collect data. Exploratory factor analysis was used to validate the measurement tool. Qualitative analysis of expert interviews was conducted by content analysis method in Maxqda software. Then, the relationships of the constructs were identified and designed with the method of structural-interpretive modeling in MicMac software with the aim of discovering the model. Based on the output of the subject network, 113 sub-indicators and 29 main themes and 8 overarching theme variables have been organized. The exploratory model indicates the effect of the development-oriented work environment, the opportunity-oriented work environment, the health-oriented work environment as predictive factors on the development of specialized competencies, optimizing the compensation and benefits system, and developing job attractiveness as strategic factors. Also, the development of the talents of the knowledge worker and the development of the talents of the knowledge workers were identified as the outcome factors of the model.
