Abstract

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the status of new leadership functions in public organizations in West Azerbaijan province and propose an appropriate model for the improvement of the existing situation in them. The present research was applied in terms of purpose and mixed descriptive (quantitative-qualitative) in terms of nature and method. This research was conducted in two parts, quantitative and qualitative. The statistical population of this research in the quantitative section was managers, heads, and specialized experts in government organizations of West Azerbaijan province, and in the qualitative section were the managers of public organizations, elites, and university professors in West Azerbaijan province. To collect data, in the quantitative research section, a researcher-made questionnaire based on the theoretical framework of "Sanjay Saxena and Pour Nima Avasti" was used and in the qualitative section, open-ended questions were used through semi-structured interviews and focus group interviews. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze data in the quantitative part. In this framework, Kolmogorov-Smirnov was used to test the normality of the data distribution of the population, and one-sample t-test, t-student test, linear regression test, structural equation analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis were used to test the research hypotheses. SPSS and AMOS software was used in all calculations and tests. In the qualitative part, open coding tables, conceptualization, thematicization, and variable (theme) construction were used to design and present the main research model. According to the results of this research in the quantitative section, public organizations of West Azerbaijan province use new leadership functions to a lesser extent than the average. In other words, the current situation of new leadership functions in government organizations of West Azerbaijan province is less than average. Based on the results of qualitative research, a model for developing the current status of new leadership functions in government organizations was proposed. In the proposed model for government organizations, there are 14 main themes (main variable) and 39 sub-themes.
