Abstract

Network governance is a relatively new type of governance that is able to resolve many of the issues and complexities that arise in governance due to the existence of existing hierarchical structures. Therefore, the present study attempted to identify the factors affecting network governance in the country's banking system. Eight factors were extracted based on the previous factors, which included economic, managerial, legal, infrastructure, structural, technological, behavioral, and mechanistic factors. These factors were measured using a researcher-made questionnaire that was distributed to employees and managers of Sepah Bank across the country and analyzed using the structural equation model. The results showed that all factors were significant at a 95% confidence level and 31 indicators under these 8 factors also had high impact coefficients, which were also evaluated using factor loading analysis to evaluate the validity of these factors. The results show that all eight economic, managerial, legal, infrastructure, structural, technological, and behavioral factors are determining factors affecting network governance in the country's banking system. Network governance is a relatively new type of governance that is capable of resolving many of the problems and complexities that arise in governance due to the existence of existing hierarchical structures. Therefore, the present study attempted to identify the factors affecting network governance in the country's banking system.
