Abstract

The term "Scientific Leadership" (SL) was first coined by the Supreme Leader during a meeting with Imam Sadegh students on Eid Ghadir in 2005. The aim of this study is to present a systematic model of "Scientific Leadership" based on the viewpoints of the Supreme Leader, based on a qualitative approach and the use of the Thematic Analysis Method, well suited for recognizing the patterns of data. For this purpose, the content related to SL was extracted from each Supreme Leader's statements about SL. Then through the three stages of the research methodology, 40 main themes in four dimensions of SL including scientific, managerial, cultural, and political dimensions, and five functions of SL including agenda-setting, policy formulation, policy adoption, policy implementation, and policy evaluation, were categorized. After identifying three types of components including concepts (topics and main keywords), dimensions, and functions related to SL, the three-level model of SL was achieved. The results show that the scientific, cultural, and management dimensions are respectively the most emphasized by the leadership, and "Policy formulation" is at the top of the functions. Also, "Policy adoption" is the least important function. In the final part, the comparison of research findings with previous similar research and the most important policy suggestions of the research are presented.
