Abstract :
Purpose: Considering the role and performance of universities, the aim of this study is to analyze the indicators and obstacles to its implementation in the Iranian higher education system with an interpretative approach.
Method: The research approach used in this study is qualitative and the data of this study were collected using open interview method and based on purposeful and snowball sampling method, from 13 professors and experts.
Findings: The main findings of this study using grounded theory (data-based) included important dimensions including: institutionalizing green human resources - green technology infrastructures - green management development - green research development - ecosystem development economy. Also, in examining the obstacles to implementing these dimensions, obstacles including: obstacles to institutionalizing human resources - obstacles to green technology infrastructures - obstacles to green research - structural obstacles and green management - ecosystem economic obstacles were identified.
Conclusion: Using the research findings, a model of university development was developed and based on the results obtained; it was determined that one of the important obstacles in the lack of university development is the ecosystem economic obstacles on the one hand and on the other hand, the economic structure that governs the country, a monopolistic and oligarchic structure.
