Empowering the teaching staff is required for the development and progress of education-oriented organizations in the face of global changes. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to elaborate on the background model of strategies and consequences of competitive advantages based on the empowerment of faculty members and university professors. In this applied paper, a qualitative methodology based on the foundation theory was employed. The study population consisted of educational elites (faculty members and experienced professors) in non-profit and private universities and institutions of higher education in Mashhad. The subjects were selected using snowball sampling. The data collection tool was a semi-structured interview and the data obtained from the interviews were coded and analyzed. After grouping the codes, 10 main categories, 57 sub-categories and 50 concepts were obtained, which were organized in a paradigm model as strategies (strategic thinking, organizational transformation, organizational innovation and career innovation) and consequences (organizational culture development, organizational development, productivity and social development, environmental development and strategic thinking). The results suggested the process of developing competitive advantage strategies based on empowering university professors. Given the broad range of a university’s customers, it is recommended that the managers of higher education institutions develop expert projects to identify and foster the necessary capabilities and competencies for university professors, recruiting human resources based on their skills and capabilities. The universities will continue to grow in the field of education and research, and this growth will lead to the development of a competitive advantage

The present study aimed to provide a model for decentralized management in education. The research approach was qualitative and based on data theory. Twenty-three people with experience in the field of study (specializing in educational management from both education and higher education) were selected through purposeful sampling and participated in the research interview process. The reliability of the interviews was confirmed by in-subject agreement. The collected data were analyzed by themes and analyzed using open, selective and axial coding system in the basis of data theorization method (according to Strauss and Cobin approach). The results of the study showed that the central categories of decentralized management including strategic planning, coaching, evaluation, and decentralized causal factors including organizational culture, organizational structure and professional competence, and continuous organizational learning, variability and career aspiration were identified. they got.. The present study also identified the factors affecting decentralized management and identified the dimensions of organizational development, continuous learning and job aspiration. This shows that decentralized management can lead to the development and improvement of the education organization, and on the other hand, all education stakeholders learn to be responsible for their own learning. This accelerates and facilitates work, and in addition to motivation, it contributes to the passion for work.

There was selected 30 managers, faculty members, employees, experts and human resources to be interviewed at the Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. Sampling done by following a theoretical one and the interviewees was selected by mean of snow ball technique. After deriving main themes and concepts from the written-facet interviews, researchers did analysis them by a mixed micro analyses. It was a combination of open and axial coding. The derived main themes categorized: individual factors, educational factors, organizational factors.
