Also, in a small part of the statistical population, there are 2147 principals of first secondary schools in Khuzestan province, of which 326 (176 female and 150 male) were randomly divided into four sections using cluster sampling method (divided into four sections). North, south, east and west) were selected from regions (Izeh, Dehdez, Baghmalek, Ahvaz, Mahshahr, Dezful, Abadan and Khorramshahr). To collect data, two closed-ended and open-ended decision-making questionnaires were used to improve decision-making power. In order to analyze the data, grounded theory approaches and structural equations with MAXQDA, SPSS23 and SmartPLS software were used.
Findings: The results showed that the main dimensions of the model are organizational factors, managerial factors, individual factors and structural factors and include 74 sub-components.
