In terms of its purpose, this research is classified as a descriptive survey research. Also, in terms of the type of data collected, it has a mixed nature, and for this reason, in terms of research philosophy, it has a comparative and inductive approach. The statistical population of the research consists of experts including university professors and organizational managers and employees, 20 of them were selected as sample members using the purposeful sampling method and based on the principle of theoretical adequacy. The data collection tool in the qualitative part of the interview and in the quantitative part is a questionnaire, which was examined by the same sample as the previous one in the interview part. The validity and reliability of the tools have been confirmed by using content validity and intra-coder-inter-coder reliability for the interview and content validity and re-test reliability for the questionnaire. In this research, content analysis and coding method was used in qualitative part and fuzzy cognitive map method in quantitative part for data analysis. The research results include identifying and analyzing the antecedents and consequences of administrative trader in government organizations. According to the findings of the research, among the antecedents of administrative trader, the lack of organizational transparency and the inefficiency of supervisory mechanisms are the most important antecedents, and among the identified consequences, the phenomenon of organizational cronyism has been identified as the most important consequence of administrative trader.
