Abstract

Introduction: In recent years, the concept of ambidexterity has increasingly become the research field of many researchers. The present research was conducted with the aim of providing a paradigmatic model of organizational duality in the Iranian public education system.
research methodology: The current research was carried out using a qualitative method, specifically the method of grounded theory. The statistical population of the present study was the specialists and experts of the education system and educational management in Iran. Sampling of the research was done purposefully. Also, theoretical sampling was used to sample the data in order to reach theoretical saturation.The number of samples in this research was 17 people. The data of the current research were collected based on semi-structured interviews with specialists and experts of the education system and educational management (university professors, managers of education, and educational management experts).
Findings: The findings indicate that factors such as the development of the competitive environment and evolution in the concept of growth can compensate for the inability of education to respond to internal and external changes and bring changes in technology and educational innovations. Also, the results indicate that the lack of motivation in the field of innovation, the centralized and inflexible structure of the educational system, the lack of independent access to human and technological resources, and the existence of realistic and transformational managers in educational organizations can lead to Webster Dusotvani's field  in This institution will develop.
Conclusion:Organizational ambidexterity  has consequences such as organizational growth, improvement of organizational satisfaction and sustainable development in the educational system according to the results of this research
