This study has been conducted with the aim of designing a model of antecedents affecting human capital management in order to improve the administrative system in the universities of Sistan and Baluchistan province. The research design is a mixed methods exploratory one, which, in the qualitative part, employs data base method and in the quantitative part a descriptive survey based on the structural equation modeling method. The statistical population of the research includes managers, assistants, employees and professors of the related fields in the universities of Sistan and Baluchistan province. In the qualitative part, 14 people were purposefully selected and in the quantitative part, 384 people were selected as samples. The data collection instument in the qualitative part was a semi-structured interview and in the quantitative part, a researcher-made questionnaire based on the results of the qualitative part of the research. The data analysis in the qualitative part was based on the foundation data method and in the form of open coding, axial coding and selective coding, and in the quantitative part structural equation modeling was employed using the partial least squares method and SmartPLS-4 software. Based on the findings of the research in the qualitative part, a total of 81 open codes, 17 central codes in the form of 6 selective codes of causal conditions, intervening conditions, background conditions, central phenomenon (human capital management in the administrative system), strategies and consequences were identified. In the quantitative part, the effect of antecedents on human capital management in the administrative system was investigated, and the results indicated the positive effect of causal, background and intervening conditions with path coefficients of 0.426, 0.308 and 0.343 respectively on human capital management in the improvement of the administrative system. Additionally, the positive effect of human capital management in the administrative system on strategies was confirmed with a coefficient of 0.310 and the positive effect of strategies on the consequences of human capital management in the administrative system was confirmed with a coefficient of 0.612.
