Abstract
This advanced mixed method research with multistage evaluation design aimed to develop the model of performance development for Village Health Volunteers (VHVs). There were 3 phases of the research process as follows: 1) the factors affecting the performance of VHVs, and factors promoting the performance of VHVs; 2) model development and examination of performance development for VHVs; and 3) effectiveness of the model of performance development for VHVs. The results revealed that the model of performance development for VHVs consisted of 9 components as follows: voluntary, role perception, intention, teamwork, association network, participation, social support, motivation, and recognition, which were the highest quality in terms of propriety, utility, feasibility, and accuracy. The implementation of the model of performance development for VHVs showed that the median performance of the experimental group after the intervention was higher than it was before the intervention. Also, the median performance of the experimental group was higher than the control group after the intervention (p < .05). The findings indicate that the model of performance development for VHVs could increase performance. The model of performance development for VHVs should be employed to cover all targeted groups and applied in other areas appropriately.
