Abstract One of the components of Iran's higher education system is the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology (MSRT), which, as its management, plays a direct role in the overall quality of the country's higher education system. Good governance provides a model for MSRT to be able to effectively promote the quality of the field of science in the country. From the perspective of many scholars, the current system of higher education does not meet the huge demands of the higher education stakeholders (students, employers, government, and society). Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop a good governance model in MSRT to meet the needs and expectations of stakeholders. In the present study, the grounded theory method and the systematic study of Strauss and Corbin have been used. According to the paradigmatic model of this research, in Iran, the most important causes of undesirable governance in MSRT are: 1. Intra-departmental factors, 2. External dimensions, 3. Factors of stakeholders, and 4. Lack of honor and dignity of science. Some policy proposals in this study include: reforming the law of MSRT in line with the requirements of the beneficiary, the belief in good governance and stakeholderism as a criterion for selecting the Minister MSRT, establishing strong institutions for prosecution, the release of internal and external stakeholders and expanding the spatial and semantic spaces and consultation among the higher education stakeholders.
