The present research was conducted with the aim of designing and validating the behavioral model of empowering education managers in Fars province.

T This research was a qualitative strategy. The research method was a case study in the qualitative part and descriptive survey in the quantitative part. The statistical population included all education managers of Fars province, numbering 580 people. The selection of the sample in the qualitative part was done by the purposeful sampling method and criterion-oriented technique.

In order to collect data, semi-structured interviews were used in the qualitative part of the field section to examine and explore upstream documents and training documents in the library section. Data analysis was done in the qualitative section based on thematic analysis. Also, in the quantitative part, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data.

The obtained results show nearly 60 indicators and 3 components (motivational, self-empowerment and supervision and empowerment) and finally the research model was presented. Behavioral factors with a factor load of 0.59 and a T-statistic of 9.25 have an effect on the empowerment of managers

Bentlerbont's normalized fit indices, relative fit, incremental fit, comparative indices of the model showed that the designed model had a good fit.
