In today's management world, some leaders, due to having a self-centered and arrogant personality and being in a position of power, use less of their mental abilities and capabilities over time and have little mobility, which over time reduces their intellectual capacity. In fact, these people, after coming to power, suffer from short-sightedness and irrational domination, which results in weakness in the intellectual activities of leaders, especially in their decision-making. The present study aimed at understanding the effective factors and consequences of the leader's Huberris phenomenon. This study was developmental with a qualitative and quantitative approach. The statistical population of the study was experts who were selected using the snowball sampling method based on the principle of theoretical adequacy. The data collection tool was a semi-structured interview in the qualitative part and a questionnaire in the quantitative part. The coding method and Atlas.ti software were used for data analysis in the qualitative part and dimittel fuzzy method was used for quantitative analysis. The results indicate that irrational dominance, power paradox, delusional perception of genius and personal knowledge, cerebral immobility and laziness, arrogance and narcissism, and personality and behavioral disorders are the most important factors shaping the phenomenon of Hubris leaders in public organizations. Also, the centralization of decision-making, arrogant leadership, exploitation of human resources, authoritarian management, and reducing the motivation and commitment of followers and subordinates are the most important consequences of the Hubris-leaders phenomenon in public organizations.
