Abstract :
Sensitization in organizations is recognized as one of the most important topics in organizational theory. Sensitization is the process through which managers and other members of the organization understand various issues and topics. Accordingly, apathy is a tendency to be indifferent to the organization and its issues. The aim of the present study was to design a model for reducing organizational numbness of female teachers in education. This research was conducted with a qualitative design and using content analysis and semi-structured interviews. The participants in the study were teachers and education managers in Shiraz. The sampling was carried out using a purposive sampling method and based on the theoretical saturation criterion. The data collection tool was in-depth interviews with twenty-four managers and teachers in relation to the phenomenon under study. In order to ensure the validity and reliability of the data, two methods of participant review and expert review were used in the study. The results of the study showed that the model for reducing organizational numbness of female teachers includes 4 organizing themes such as individual factors, group factors, organizational factors and supra-organizational factors, and also includes 23 basic themes. Therefore, it is concluded that in order to reduce organizational numbness, the education system should provide the grounds for reducing organizational numbness factors for female teachers.
