Abstract

This research was conducted with the aim of recognition the underpinning factors of educational leadership capacity and presenting the educational leadership capacity model of Farhangian University's preservice teachers. To collect data, the qualitative research approach and GT method (systematic design) have been used. Participants were selected from faculty members of Farhangian and public Universities in 2022-2023 through purposeful sampling. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and theoretical saturation was obtained after in-depth interviews with 16 participants. The paradigmatic model based on the findings shows that the development of the educational leadership capacity of preservice teachers, as the key driver to actualize the society-engaged higher education in Farhangian University, leads to self-leadership at the individual level. At the organizational level, it leads to the formation of the basis of participation and self-management of the school. It also leads to the strengthening of the institutional position of Farhangian University at the extra-organizational level. Therefore, based on this model, it can be said that the above consequences are obtained through very important strategies such as co-creation, mentoring, reflective leadership and leadership internship. These are influenced through contextual, causal and intervening conditions such as the emerging requirements of the stakeholder community, exclusivity in teacher education, as well as, the economic and social conditions of the society.
