چکیده
هدف: مطالعه­ ی حاضر با هدف سنجش پایداری تعاونی­های تکثیر و پرورش ماهی صورت گرفت و به دنبال شناسایی عوامل مؤثر بر پایداری تعاونی­ها و ارائه راهکارهایی در این زمینه بود.

روش پژوهش: پژوهش حاضر از نظر هدف، کاربردی و از نوع پیمایشی بود. برای گردآوری داده ­ها از پرسشنامه ساختارمند و محقق ساخته بهره گرفته شد. روایی پرسشنامه طبق نظر پانلی از اساتید و کارشناسان تأیید گردید و پایایی آن با انجام مطالعه ­ای پیش­آهنگ و محاسبه ضریب آلفای کرونباخ (94/0-59/0) به دست آمد. جامعه مورد مطالعه پژوهش حاضر اعضای 61 تعاونی فعال تکثیر و پرورش ماهی بخش مرکزی شهرستان اهواز و شامل 454 عضو بود. شیوه نمونه­ گیری به صورت تصادفی ساده بود که با استفاده از جدول مورگان، حجم نمونه 150 نفر از اعضای تعاونی­ها تعیین گردید. برای تعیین آسیب­ های تعاونی­های تکثیر و پرورش ماهی از تکنیک تحلیل محتوایی بهره گرفته شد. برای این منظور 20 نفر پرورش دهنده از تعاونی­های موفق تکثیر و پرورش ماهی تا حصول اشباع نظری مورد مطالعه قرار گرفتند.

یافته‌ها: یافته ­های پژوهش نشان داد که پایداری تعاونی­های تکثیر و پرورش ماهی در سه مرحله امکان­سنجی و طراحی، راه ­اندازی و بهره ­برداری، و توسعه تعاونی تحت تأثیر هویت سازمانی، تعهد هویتی و چارچوب قانونی قرار دارند. بر مبنای یافته ­ها تعاونی­های تکثیر و پرورش ماهی از حیث ابعاد آموزشی، زیرساختی، اجتماعی و اقتصادی آسیب­پذیر بودند.

نتیجه‌گیری: این پژوهش از یک طراحی موازی همگرا برای ادغام داده‌های کمی و کیفی استفاده نمود و دیدگاهی جامع از پایداری در تعاونی‌های پرورش ماهی ارائه داد. در حالی که در بخش تحلیل کمی، پیش­ بینی­ کننده ­های کلیدی پایداری شناسایی شد، بینش­ حاصل از بخش کیفی به درک عوامل زمینه ای، مانند نقش هویت سازمانی و ارتباطات عاطفی بین اعضا را کمک شایانی نمود. این رویکرد روش‌شناختی غنای یافته‌ها را افزایش داد و موضوعاتی مانند ضرورت آموزش و تأثیر پویایی‌های اجتماعی را آشکار ساخت که برای درک پایداری فراتر از معیارهای کمی به تنهایی حیاتی است.

چکیده English

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the sustainability of fish propagation and breeding cooperatives, identifying the key factors influencing their sustainability. The goal was to provide solutions to enhance the effectiveness and longevity of these cooperatives.

Methods: This research was applied in nature and used a survey-based approach. A structured, researcher-made questionnaire was employed for data collection. The questionnaire’s validity was confirmed through content analysis by a panel of experts, while its reliability was assessed via a pilot study, yielding a Cronbach's alpha coefficient between 0.59 and 0.94. The study’s statistical population consisted of 454 members from 61 active fish propagation and breeding cooperatives in the central district of Ahvaz County. Using Morgan's table, a sample of 150 cooperative members was selected via simple random sampling. To explore the challenges faced by cooperatives, content analysis was conducted, focusing on 20 members from successful cooperatives, continuing until theoretical saturation was reached.

Results: The study found that the sustainability of fish propagation and breeding cooperatives was influenced by three main stages:



Feasibility and Design
Establishment and Exploitation
Cooperative Development


Key factors affecting sustainability in these stages included organizational identity, identical commitment, and the legal framework. The cooperatives were found to be vulnerable in several dimensions, particularly in terms of education, infrastructure, social dynamics, and economic conditions.

Conclusion: This study used a concurrent parallel design, integrating both quantitative and qualitative data to provide a comprehensive view of sustainability in fish breeding cooperatives. The quantitative analysis identified the primary predictors of sustainability, while the qualitative insights offered a deeper understanding of the contextual factors, such as the role of organizational identity and the emotional connections among members.

The findings highlighted the importance of education and social dynamics, revealing that sustainability extends beyond quantitative measures. This mixed-methods approach enriched the understanding of cooperative sustainability and emphasized the need for a holistic view of the factors that influence their long-term success.
