The reliability of the questionnaire was calculated Cronbach's alpha coefficient and was obtained for individual (0.813), organizational (0.861), and environmental (0.771) challenges. For the data analysis, a One-sample t-test and Friedman test were used in SPSS16 software. The results of the section showed that considering that, the mean of individual challenge (4.25), organizational challenge (4.45), and environmental challenge (4.25) was higher than the theoretical mean (3); Therefore, from the perspective of academic administrators and leaders, the score of all dimensions of the challenges was above theoretical mean and based on the value of t at the level (p =0.01), the results were significant. So, each of the discovered dimensions in the qualitative section was highly agreed upon by the participants in the study.
