This research was applied in terms of purpose and utilized a survey method for data collection, adopting a grounded theory approach and expert interviews. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and content analysis of texts. The statistical population consisted of experts, professors, specialists, and administrative managers of the National Iranian Oil Company. Using a purposive judgmental sampling method, 20 participants were selected. To address the research question and analyze the collected data, SPSS software was employed for both descriptive and inferential statistics. Additionally, coding was carried out using Strauss and Corbin's method at three levels: open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. Based on the obtained results, causal, contextual, intervening, strategic, and consequential categories were identified. According to Cochran's test at a 5% margin of error, these results can be generalized to the population of experts. The findings also revealed that individual, managerial, and environmental behaviors, along with the nature of social justice, can be influential causal conditions.
