Abstract:

The challenge and inability to effectively manage organizational resources such as financial capital, human resources, and  management of intra- and inter-organizational conflict resolution is one of the issues non-governmental organizations are faced with. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to present an effective leadership model for environmental people-based organizations (PBSs/NGOs) in Iran. The present study was developmental in terms of purpose and descriptive-exploratory in terms of methodology. Grounded method, together with Strauss and Corbin approach, was applied to collect qualitative data. Alongside this, 12 experts from these organizations were selected and interviewed. The process of coding in the founded theory involved the process of continuous data analysis in open, central and selective stages. Results show: (a) participation, service rendering, transformation orientation and  legal orientation are effective leadership dimensions, (b) capacity of grassroots organizations, governance networks and organizational capabilities are among the causal factors, (c) flexible organizational structure and organizational climate are effective contextual factors, (d) supportive policies and strategies (both internal and external) are intervening factors in the effective leadership model, (e) public participation and organizational performance are effective leadership outcomes.
