Today, with the progress of societies, huge changes and transformations have occurred in various dimensions, which have caused the swelling of governments and their organizations. Thus, most countries are looking for effective solutions in this field, of which decentralization is one of the most important ones. The main purpose of this study was to identify and explain the major and effective components in the decentralization of administrative affairs of public organizations. It examines the issue using a mixed method approach with a partially mixed sequential dominant status design in three qualitative-qualitative-quantitative phases. In this research, three methods of "systematic review, thematic analysis, and survey" were used, respectively. The main tool was an interview in the qualitative phase and a questionnaire in the quantitative phase. A total of 12 experts in the qualitative phase and 31 people in the quantitative phase were used to extract information and data. Based on the research results, in the first phase (systematic review method), 19 articles were selected and reviewed to determine thematic axes. In the second phase, 163 indicators were identified using the thematic analysis method, from which 37 basic themes, 17 organizing themes, and four global themes were extracted. Based on the results of analyses, the components can be identified in accordance with the comprehensive plan to reform the administrative system which can be effective in eliminating the gaps and failures in this base.
