The aim of this study was to design and explain the pattern of factors affecting the narcissism of managers with emphasis on regulatory mode (case study of managers of Payame Noor University). In terms of the applicability of the subject, the researcher, in order to answer the problem of managers' narcissism, should examine the issue at the level of the directors of Payame Noor universities. To further explain the problem, first narcissism was introduced; its definitions and dimensions from the point of view of thinkers, and by expressing various approaches and theories, the examples and consequences of narcissism were examined. The research method in this research is descriptive-survey type, from the field branch and in terms of applied nature. The statistical population and sample size in the qualitative part is 8 experts and management specialists and in the quantitative part includes all managers of Payame Noor university centers and units in region 5 (Isfahan, Yazd, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province), the total number of which is 168 people. Due to the limited statistical population, the sample size is considered equal to the statistical population. Data collection tools are semi-structured interviews and researcher-made questionnaires. Qualitative information analysis was performed based on data theory approach (three stages of open, axial and selective coding) and a quantitative part of inferential statistical methods (confirmatory factor analysis) and paradigmatic models. According to the main purpose of the study, using AMOS software, the effect of these factors on managers' narcissism was investigated. The first-order factor validation model was presented to measure the narcissistic component of managers. Then the significance of the difference between factor loads (regression weights) with zero value was presented. Because the calculated P value showed that among the 16 factors affecting the narcissism of managers, 3 factors are greater than 0.05, so with 95% confidence we can say that the calculated factor load for these 3 components is not significant and on the narcissism of the managers of Payam Noor universities. Light has no effect. By removing the three factors, the model was tested again and finally the model of factors affecting the narcissism of managers was designed.
