This research was applied in terms of integrated method (qualitative-quantitative) and in terms of purpose and was carried out in 2022. The statistical population of this research was the petrochemical industry companies, which were used to draw causal circles and model the experts in this field using the snowball method. To collect information in the qualitative part of interviews with experts(13 experts) and in the quantitative part, the data obtained from the first part were analyzed in the form of quantitative analysis. The data analysis stage is a multi-stage process during which the data obtained through the use of collection tools in the statistical sample (community) are summarized, coded and categorized and finally processed to establish the basis for various types of analysis. Data and relationships between these data are provided in order to test the hypotheses. In the qualitative part, the coding method was used, and in the quantitative part, Vensim software version 3.7 and and Super decision version 2 were used.was used. The findings showed that structural barriers, legal barriers, attitudinal barriers and infrastructural barriers of the company have an effect on the capacity to absorb technological innovations in the Iranian petrochemical industry.
