The main purpose of this article is to identify and analyze the factors affecting the empowerment of women faculty members of Islamic Azad University. The research method is mixed (qualitative-quantitative). . To conduct this research, in addition to document study, thematic analysis technique with MAXQDA12 software was used. The statistical population was all the faculty members of the Islamic Azad Universities in Tehran, after conducting 20 theoretical saturation interviews, and in the quantitative part, the statistical population was all the female faculty members of the Islamic Azad Universities in Tehran. The number of samples was 327 who were selected by stratified sampling from 6 academic fields. In the quantitative part, structural equations were used to fit the sample. The results showed that 4 dimensions, 11 components and 42 indicators were designed for the empowerment of women faculty members, and finally, in the structural equation model, it was determined that political factors with a coefficient of 0.854 have the highest impact and legal and legal factors with a coefficient of 0.722 have the lowest impact.

The main objective of this paper is to identify and analyze the dimensions and components of empowering female faculty members at Islamic Azad University. The research method is applied in its goals and exploratory in terms of data, with a qualitative approach being data-grounded and a quantitative approach being cross-sectional survey-based. For this research, in addition to document studies, thematic analysis using MAXQDA12 software was used. The statistical population included all faculty members at Islamic Azad University in Tehran. After conducting 20 interviews, theoretical saturation was achieved, and for the quantitative section, the population included all female faculty members at these universities. A sample of 327 individuals was selected through stratified sampling from 6 academic domains. Structural equation modeling was used for sample fit in the quantitative section. Results showed that for empowering female faculty members, 6 dimensions, 21 components, and 73 indicators were identified. The structural equation model indicated that the leadership dimension had the highest impact with a coefficient of 0.960, while the organizational culture dimension had the lowest impact at 0.721. To ensure the validity of the tools in the qualitative part of the research and to confirm the accuracy of the findings from the researcher's perspective, valuable opinions from experts and faculty members familiar with this field were utilized. Additionally, participants assisted data analysis and interpretation. The reliability coefficient between the codings conducted was 0.83%, indicating its acceptability.
