Municipalities are among the semi-private organizations that the quality of services provided in them is of great concern to the public and therefore can have a great impact on citizens' satisfaction and public trust. As a result, this research was conducted with the aim of designing a development-oriented organization model in the municipalities of Kurdistan province. This research was done with the method of foundational data theory. Based on limited theoretical literature and mainly relying on interviews with 20 university faculty members who are familiar with the organizational structure of municipalities, as well as mayors and deputy mayors, it was conducted in a targeted way. Data obtained from theoretical studies and interviews were conducted in the form of open coding, selective coding and axial coding. The results obtained from the codings include development-oriented management, development-oriented employees, development-oriented policy, development-oriented structure, and development-oriented culture, which constitute the factors affecting the development-oriented organization in the municipalities of Kurdistan province.
