English abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the components that make up visionary leadership among faculty members in medical science universities across Iran’s Region 1. In this study, a descriptive survey was conducted to gather information on faculty members from universities of medical sciences in Region 1. A total of 320 participants completed a questionnaire containing 91 questions. The collected data were analyzed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis tests. The findings indicated that Visionary Leadership consisted of two dimensions - individual and organizational - each with three components. The individual dimension pertained to the characteristics, skills, and behaviors of visionary leaders, while the organizational dimension included the thematic role, schematic role, and matric role of visionary leadership within the organization. The highest standard coefficient was related to the component of characteristics of visionary leaders for the individual dimension and the schematic role of visionary leaders in the organization for the organizational dimension. These findings can help managers and authorities of medical education institutions to train high-powered executives who are committed and motivated to implement the Strategic Declaration of the Supreme Leader. It is necessary to establish a national resolve in this field to improve the quality of medical education in Iran.
