Abstract

One of the important functions of the Welfare Organization is in the event of natural disasters, such as floods and earthquakes, which after such incidents, assists the affected people from the lower classes of society. In this research, we will identify the factors creating instability in the supply chain of this organization by identifying the precise activities and processes of the organization of welfare, and ultimately, prioritize and rank these factors. In this regard, we used structural equations modeling. Initially, by reviewing the literature and examining theories, an initial conceptual framework in this regard is shaped; then, this model has been modified using various methods during the research, and modified accordance with the conditions of the Welfare Organization. Subsequently, the conceptual model of the research is defined as a multi-dimensional structure in AMOS software. After examining the hypotheses of relationships between variables and making the necessary changes, the model has finally been modified according to the conditions of the welfare organization of Iran.
