Abstract :
Purpose: Paying attention to indigenous models in achieving organizational goals can transform the situation in favor of the organization. The present study was conducted with the aim of identifying the components and indicators of socialization mechanisms of the faculty members of Islamic Azad University.
Method: The research method of this study was qualitative and based on thematic analysis. Data were collected through 12 semi-structured in-depth interviews with experts and experienced university professors, selected using purposive sampling. Data were gathered using an emergent design and analyzed thematically using Braun and Clarke and Sterling's coding approach.
Findings: The results led to the identification of socialization mechanisms with six main categories: reward and compensation, feedback, formal training, informal methods, integration and involvement in academic activities, and performance management; and 19 sub-categories.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the reward and compensation component is prioritized, and Islamic Azad University should pay special attention to the financial compliance of its faculty members. Performance feedback will be effective only when provided fairly. Holding training courses and meetings enhances cooperation and motivation. Family gatherings and welfare facilities, while reducing individual and organizational conflicts, increase opportunities for interaction, empathy, and learning. Participation in university councils and events is a valuable opportunity for personal and professional development. Attention to performance management can create a dynamic and efficient environment for faculty members.
