The purpose of this study is to design a quantum-based academic leadership model in higher education system of Iran. Regarding its purpose, this study enjoys a mixed method. In the qualitative section, a meta-synthesis method is used after concluding the findings of previous studies and 73 codes have been extracted using the open coding method. In the next step, concepts were formed by using coding again, and eventually another coding was done on the concepts so that the categories can be obtained. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data. The statistical population of the study consisted of two statistical populations. The first statistical population included 30 selected national and international scientific research articles on quantum leadership. The second statistical population included the deans and deputies of the university and colleges, headmaster and related departments of state universities and branches of the Islamic Azad University located in Yazd and Isfahan provinces. The sample size for the second population was calculated to be 220 individuals using the Cochran formula. These individuals were selected through the stratified random sampling. Data was analyzed using Smart PLS 2 software. The face and content validity of the questionnaire was approved through expert opinion and its reliability was confirmed by calculating Cronbach's alpha (= 0.948). As a result of performing confirmatory factor analysis, a total number of 15 components were confirmed in the form of 7 dimensions for a quantum-based academic leadership. This model can assist senior leaders and policymakers of higher education in effective leadership.

 The present study seeks to examine the functions of transformational leadership in knowledge-based organizations using the grounded theory. Research method is based on the qualitative method of grounded theory. Depth interviews were conducted with 16 experts of the Technical and Vocational University of Tehran selected through snowball sampling. After open, selective, and axial coding of collected data, 160 primary concepts, 29 subcategories and 5 main categories were extracted. The final outcome of this study is the design of a 5-dimensional model whose dimensions are categorized into four bases of strategy, outcomes, interventional conditions, ground-making conditions and causal conditions. The findings of this study indicate that the main function of transformational leaders is a capacity for organizational adaptability.
