The current research was conducted to identify a model for faculty members’ ostracism in the workplace. This study is an applied study by purpose and exploratory research in nature. It was conducted qualitatively using grounded theory in relation to the method. The participants of the research included faculty memers of Iranian universities, 19 of them were selected through the purposeful and snowball methods and following the rule of theoretical saturation, and the data was collected through semi structured interviews. The results of this research indicate that three categories of causal factors including individual factors, group factors, and organizational factors, as well as contextual factors (factors related to organizational culture, factors related to organizational structure and factors related to organizational processes), and intervening factors also affect the emergence of this phenomenon in universities. Strategies to prevent the ostracism of faculty members and the consequences of this phenomenon in universities have been determined at both the individual and organizational levels. The findings of the research can create a suitable insight about the emergence of the phenomenon of faculty members’ ostracism in the workplace and provide a basis for planners and policy makers of the university system to prevent it.
