Farhangian University, considering its mission in training competent and capable individuals for employment in the teaching profession, has tried to revise its selection method for incoming candidates and identify and recruit the most suitable individuals through assessment centers. The research population of participants in the interview was all members working in the assessment centers on the campuses of Farhangian University of Fars Province in July 1403, which included (290) faculty members and teaching staff, educational and administrative officers. In this study, (13) people were selected as a sample using the snowball technique to conduct interviews, and their interviews continued until data saturation. The results of the research showed that this article presented the findings within the framework of a paradigmatic model including causal conditions (professional training of assessors, transparency in the assessment process, and communication skills of assessors), central phenomenon (measuring the professional competencies of volunteers), strategies (professional development of assessment center personnel, standardization of processes, and use of new technologies), background conditions (creating a supportive and low-stress assessment environment, reviewing interview documentation, observing ethical principles and confidentiality, optimal time management), and intervening conditions (resource limitations, unconscious bias of assessors, designing unrealistic artificial environments, and inappropriate editing). Competencies and evaluation items) and outcomes (providing quality to teacher education, improving the academic standing of Farhangian University, and professional development of teachers) were analyzed. https://jam.uok.ac.ir/article_64617.html The aim of the present study was to explore faculty members' perceptions of the challenges facing women's leadership in higher education institutions. A qualitative research approach was employed, specifically using an interpretive phenomenological strategy. The study population consisted of all faculty members at Razi University of Kermanshah, from whom participants were selected through purposive, criterion-based sampling. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews, which continued until theoretical saturation was achieved. The data were analyzed using MAXQDA qualitative data analysis software. Given the sensitivity of the topic and the limited number of open codes, a two-stage coding process (open and axial coding) was employed. The findings revealed three main categories of challenges to women's leadership in higher education: individual barriers, institutional barriers, and cultural barriers. The study also identified key strategies for addressing these challenges, including developing a visionary and self-aware leadership style, ensuring balanced opportunities and arrangements for women and men on campus, fostering an informal and supportive campus environment, providing leadership development programs, addressing unconscious bias, encouraging women to pursue leadership positions, and supporting changes in academic policies.
