A mixed method and an exploratory design were used to conduct this research. The statistical population in the qualitative section was all related research documents from 2000 to today and university professors, specialists and informants familiar with the learning center and faculty members. This research also used a semi-structured interview. Sampling in the qualitative part was done purposefully and data analysis in this part was done in the form of foundation data with thematic analysis approach in three stages of open, central and selective coding. The statistical population of the research in the quantitative part of the research included the faculty members of the university, 250 of whom were randomly selected. Spss and Amose software were used for data analysis in this part. In the qualitative section, 5 main codes representing the dimensions of empowerment and 9 central codes representing the components of the dimensions were identified. Also, the number of 50 open codes was determined, which was reduced to 28 after the merger. Based on the dimensions, the skills needed by the faculty members of Allameh Tabatabai University in the direction of empowerment are: social factors, economic factors and educational factors. The results of the factor analysis which was done by Emus software also showed that the measurement scale in all factor analysis indicators is at a desirable and acceptable level.
