Research method: This research was in terms of practical purpose and in terms of nature, it was library research and qualitative method. The opinions of 15 experts in the subject area were used until theoretical saturation. Also, from the process of hierarchical analysis, the ranking of the calculated factors was discussed. Findings: Effective factors were identified in the form of 318 primary themes. In the first stage, three factors of education, research, human capital and 27 sub-factors were added, and in the second stage, according to the opinion of the experts, two structural-managerial and background factors and 18 other sub-factors were added and finally they were 5 factors and 45 sub-factors. The existence of the vision and excellence program of the university education system was ranked first in importance, followed by the existence of a comprehensive research and technology system based on upstream documents in the second rank, and the existence of a national and transnational synergistic scientific network was ranked in the third rank. Conclusion: All the revealed components have a direct impact on the student recruitment rate, which should be considered as the main factors in the establishment and operation of an organizational university.
