indigenous model of GCG. The method was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive and survey in
terms of the data collection method. The study was qualitative using semi-structured interview tools
with eleven senior managers of Tehran Province Water and Wastewater Company (TPWWC) and

eight main components and twenty-three sub-components for GCG. 1) Sovereignty consciousness, 2)
organizational culture, 3) disclosure of information, 4) responsiveness, 5) a network of relationships,
6) board size, 7) justice and fairness, and 8) ownership structure were identified as the main building
blocks of GCG and the findings revealed that these components are solutions to prevent political
