Journal of Resource Management and Decision Engineering 5 Serial Number 14 2026 03 01 Quantitative Examination of the Proposed Policy-Making Model for Iran’s Electric Energy in the New Silk Road Quantitative Examination of the Proposed Policy-Making Model for Iran’s Electric Energy in the New Silk Road 1 11 10.61838/kman.jrmde.211 EN Journal Article 2025 07 02 <p>The present study aimed to design a policy-making model for Iran’s electric energy sector within the context of the New Silk Road. Accordingly, the research is classified as applied in terms of purpose and was conducted using a mixed-method (qualitative–quantitative) approach for data collection. In the qualitative phase, a survey-based method grounded in structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to design the model. The statistical population consisted of managers, heads, and employees of the energy sector in 2023. Using a random sampling method, a sample of 330 participants was selected. Research findings were obtained through a questionnaire and analyzed using structural equation modeling in PLS software. Based on the results, the policy-making model for Iran’s electric energy sector within the New Silk Road framework consists of six dimensions: external strategies, internal strategies, intervening factors, causal factors, contextual factors, and outcomes, which demonstrated an acceptable model fit with a value of 0.941.</p> https://journalrmde.com/index.php/jrmde/article/download/211/238
