This study investigates public sector accountants’ professional identity using a mixed-methods approach with a sequential-exploratory design. The qualitative phase employed Grounded Theory to collect and analyze data, followed by quantitative validation. In 2023, 21 in-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with purposively sampled experts, including university faculty in accounting, economics, management, and related fields, and financial managers from municipalities in West Azerbaijan province, Iran, until theoretical saturation was reached. Qualitative data were analyzed using MAXQDA, identifying 142 components across six main categories to design a model, which informed quantitative hypotheses tested via Smart PLS software. Findings show that causal conditions shape public sector accountants’ professional identity, which influences identity strategies. Intervening and contextual conditions also affect these strategies, which, in turn, impact outcomes. The results confirm that professional identity drives strategic adaptations, enhancing accountability and public sector performance.
