Management and Development Process

The aim of the present study was to validate the university organizational capacity framework from the perspective of university administrators, which was conducted with a quantitative approach and using a descriptive-survey research method. The statistical population included university presidents across the country, and 60 university presidents were selected as the research sample using purposive sampling. 

The research instrument was a scale constructed based on the Academic Organizational Capacity Framework (Tarkzadeh et al., 2019), whose validity and reliability were examined and confirmed using item analysis and Cronbach's alpha. The validity of the Academic Organizational Capacity Framework was examined and confirmed using first and second order confirmatory factor analysis.

The path coefficients obtained from the first and second order confirmatory factor analysis and related indicators indicate the appropriate fit and validity of the academic organizational capacity framework. Accordingly, the aforementioned framework, which includes the dimensions of mission, talent management, infrastructure, process, and organizational performance, can be used by researchers and practitioners in relation to the subject.
