Abstract :

The present research was conducted with the aim of identifying the effective factors of the competences of heads of units and centers of Islamic Azad University according to the statement of the second step of the Islamic Revolution (case study: Islamic Azad University units in the northwest). During the years2021–2022 among the heads and vice-chairs of Islamic Azad University's units in the northwest, we conducted the present study in two qualitative and quantitative stages. In the first stage, a qualitative study was conducted to examine and complete the components using the Delphi technique. Then, a cross-sectional study with a descriptive approach tested the identified factors in the larger community and determined the impact of the identified factors. In the qualitative part, a semi-structured interview was used to identify factors, and in the quantitative part, a researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data. Simultaneously with data collection, qualitative content analysis was done by identifying semantic units (codes) and classifying them. Then, one-sample t-test and Friedman's rank test were used to analyze the data. The research findings indicate that 14 factors influence the competencies of heads of units and centers at Islamic Azad University, aligning with the second step of the Islamic Revolution. Among these 14 factors, the appointment of appropriate managers at Islamic Azad University holds the most significant influence. The scientific and professional development of managers, the revolutionary and Islamic competences of managers, the components of jihadi management, and the cognitive competence of managers are the five most significant factors.
