Abstract
In today's competitive environment, organizations require a framework that not only enables effective talent acquisition and retention, but also fosters employee commitment, compliance with organizational decisions, and active participation. This study aims to propose a model for developing a Human Resource Acceptance Zone (HRAZ) with a focus on talent attraction and retention policies.

The research is developmental in purpose and exploratory in nature. The statistical population consists of employees of Sepah Bank in West Azerbaijan Province. The sample was selected in two main groups: experts (using purposive sampling) and bank staff (through stratified random sampling). Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed through the Fuzzy Delphi technique and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using Smart PLS 3 software.

The findings revealed that the proposed model comprises four dimensions: individual factors, managerial and organizational factors, talent attraction and retention policies, and contextual and communication factors. Among these, managerial and organizational factors showed the strongest correlation with the development of the Human Resource Acceptance Zone.
