Abstract
Governments play a crucial role in well-being of people, the quality of life, reducing poverty, and increasing the social and economic capacities of society. Popular support is among the ways that can strengthen the political and economic bases of the country. Governments should provide and keep popular support. Since the level of life satisfaction is closely relevant to popular support, the degree of good governance, which is determined by the World Bank parameters, is considered the popular support parameter. In this research, a system dynamics model is developed to predict the behaviors of the satisfaction of life using suitable governance parameters. The results of causal relationships demonstrate that popular support requires a mutually supportive effort of the people, the legislature, the state, and the judiciary. Our results suggest that the interactions of the triple powers should consider more deeply in future studies so that people will be served more appropriately. In this study, due to the lack of information, it was not possible to investigate the consistency of the proposed model over time. Thus, it is suggested that under complete information, the consistency of the proposed model will be analyzed.
