Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate and explain the dimensions and psychological components of Successor Program in higher education. The present research is applied in terms of purpose and qualitative in term of method. The population of research was managers and full-time faculty members of the Islamic Azad University of Tehran. Data were collected using exploratory and semi-structured interview, which after 12 interviews, theoretical saturation was obtained. For analysis of data, the content analysis method was used. Reliability was achieved using the triangulation method at the appropriate level. Results indicated that the succession model consists of six main components including causal factors of succession, contextual factors of succession, intervention factors of succession, central phenomena, succession strategies and consequences of succession. These six main components were measured by 86 indicators.  Consequently, all six variables were identified as psychological factors related to succession program in higher education.

Abstract
Succession planning involves a deliberate and systematic organization's effort to ensure the continuity of leadership in crucial roles, retain and nurture intellectual and knowledge assets for the future, and promote individual progress. Research studies have highlighted that succession planning primarily focuses on the development of individuals through training, mentorship, and coaching. The objective of this study is to introduce a model that elucidates the process of succession planning for managers within the Ports and Maritime Organization. In today's rapidly globalizing markets, the identification of individuals possessing the essential skills and attributes required to steer organizations toward the future has exerted mounting pressure on these organizations. Numerous senior leaders have underscored the significance of an organization's capacity to identify, foster, and deploy effective leadership talent as a key factor in achieving success. This study is an applied descriptive-analytical study that employs a survey methodology. The research cohort comprises employees within the Ports and Maritime Organization. Data were gathered through a questionnaire developed by the researcher, which underwent validation for reliability and validity. Confirmatory factor analysis was subsequently utilized to evaluate the proposed model. The results demonstrated a favorable fit for the proposed model. As per the findings, the existing managerial succession planning model encompasses four dimensions: policy formulation, competency criteria, candidate evaluation, and individual development programs (centered on education). The results suggest potential advantages in crafting and executing training initiatives aimed at enhancing education-based individual development among managers and enhancing the efficiency of succession planning.

Volume 5, Issue 4 (12-2023)
Abstract
Objective: The current study was undertaken with the aim of formulating a model for the dimensions of succession in primary school principals through the application of structural equation modeling.
Methods: The present study utilized a mixed research design, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The qualitative phase employed thematic analysis, while the quantitative phase employed survey methodology. The qualitative sample consisted of units of analysis from Nahj al-Balagheh and experts in religious sciences in this particular field. In contrast, the quantitative sample comprised principals from secondary schools in Tehran. Data collection in the qualitative phase was conducted through interviews with experts, while the quantitative phase gathered information through the use of a questionnaire.
Results: The findings revealed the dimensions of succession among school principals as derived from the teachings of Nahj al-Balagheh. These dimensions encompass social capabilities, creative management, specialized capabilities, managerial capabilities, effective management within a meritocratic system, personality traits, and motivation. Furthermore, the model derived from the qualitative data was subjected to testing through structural equation modeling, demonstrating a favorable fit with the data.
Conclusions: The findings of this study offer valuable insights to senior education managers in the selection process for primary school principals, ultimately contributing to the enhancement of management skills among this group.
