The statistical population of the research included 16 experts and data analysis was done through three methods open coding, axial coding, and selective coding using MAXQDA2020 software. The results of the interviews include 85 open codes, 11 central codes, and 5 selective codes. Then, CVR, CVI, and retest reliability were used to determine the validity and reliability of the model's categories and components. According to the results of the findings, the factors of the organizational control layer include 2 categories (ethical-educational dimension, cultural-supportive dimension), the self-control layer includes 2 categories (internalization of social and value norms, internalization of society culture), the layer of control and monitoring mechanisms includes 3 categories (mechanism general, legal mechanism, administrative mechanism), the layer of practical measures including 2 categories (organizational dimension, legal dimension) and the layer of reforms including 2 categories (organizational engineering, educational engineering) were identified.
