Educational Leadership Research

Abstract In order to manage the affairs of managers, including preparation, appointment, growth and designing their lifestyles, we need to draw a common and equal picture of managers in the whole country, which forms the management geometry of organizations and the entire administrative system. Therefore, it can be said that all actions related to managers' affairs depend on drawing this picture. This research was conducted with the aim of designing a model for the classification of jobs and managerial positions. To achieve the research goal and answer the questions, the qualitative content analysis method was used. To collect the research data while benefiting from the focus group method, the lived experience of the authors in the field of regulations for the classification of government jobs was used as the basis of the work. The findings of the research showed that we can classify all the jobs of the State based on a certain logic. This logic has four stages of division of country's affairs, classification of institutions, classification of units of institutions and classification of management jobs. Based on this model, the entire management jobs of the country can be classified and ranked, and this classification can be the basis of managers' rights and benefits, growth and training, the mechanism for the promotion of managers, etc.

Abstract One of the major challenges facing the administrative and governance systems of the country is the shortage of managers who align their thinking and actions with the principles of the Islamic State discourse. This article addresses the question of which educational mechanisms can be employed to train managerial cadres at the level required by the Islamic State. To this end, the research utilized a qualitative content analysis method, drawing upon the lived experiences of the authors in designing educational programs. Data for the content analysis were collected through focus group discussions involving managers responsible for formulating regulations for the recruitment and training of executives in government organizations. The analysis revealed that training mechanisms for managerial preparation can be conceptualized in three dimensions: preparation, development and empowerment, and experience documentation. Furthermore, the findings indicated that the implementation of these mechanisms necessitates the identification of key elements such as target audiences, the competencies required for high-level managers, content structure and framework, program facilitators, and standards for program delivery.
