Abstract
Objective: Given the importance of the concept of dynamic capabilities in gaining competitive advantage for organizations, this article seeks to "provide a model for the behavioral foundations of dynamic capabilities."


Method: The method of this research was to combine two methods of systematic review of sources and then content analysis based on interviews with experts. At the beginning, a systematic in-depth and systematic study of the background of internal and external studies on the subject of dynamic capabilities, relying on the systematic review method and providing a protocol for it in the field of behavioral and human foundations of dynamic capabilities. Then, by means of semi-structured interviews with experts of government-based knowledge companies as well as experts and university professors in the form of content analysis method, a network of themes of behavioral foundations of dynamic capabilities has been presented.


Results: Finally, a final proposed framework has been implemented by combining the results of systematic review and the results of content analysis in a framework that in all three dimensions of perception, abduction and reorganization of these behavioral and human foundations found by both methods. They were organized by deleting common items and merging similar items. The proposed framework has not yet been presented in research in this field of study, and the authors believe that it can partially bridge the gap in the literature on behavioral foundations and human resources in dynamic capabilities in future studies.
