Abstract :

The current research was conducted with the aim of identifying the indicators and components of the market-oriented university governance model. The approach of the present research is qualitative and its meta-composite method is based on the model of Irvin et al. (2011). The research community consists of 187 graduate education articles and theses about market-oriented university governance, which were presented between 2008 and 2008 to 2023. The research sample includes 32 research articles that have been purposefully collected and selected based on thematic data monitoring. The research data were collected from the qualitative analysis of the studied documents. : Based on data analysis, the components of market-oriented academic governance were classified into 4 dimensions and 49 factors. These dimensions include communication-interactive factors (including components such as intra-organizational and national communications, extra-organizational and international communications and feedback-supervisory standards), political-legal dimension (including components such as trans-sectoral legal development and policy powers) planning), technical-structural (including components such as data and information management, professional-organizational maturity and the basis of structural development) and contextual-environmental (including components such as economic drivers and drivers) socio-cultural).
