The results were then integrated, the relationships between the components wereinvestigated, and the model was eventually finalized. The resulting scores were analyzed usingMicMac software.RESULTS: Twelve categories and 20 subcategories were identified in the first micro‑study (deskresearch). Qualitative analysis of the interviews in the second stage led to the identification of 21subcategories and seven categories. Components of the conceptual model were extracted fromthe results of the two first stages, both of which were aimed at the extraction of concepts relevantto dynamic empowerment of medical science educational managers, and the conceptual model fordynamic empowerment of medical science education managers was designed in the six categoriesof education, decision‑making, organization, belief, dynamic capabilities, and environment after theinteractions between the components were studied.CONCLUSIONS: Results of the present study revealed that dynamic empowerment of the managersis a multifaceted and multidimensional concept, and all of the factors incorporated in the conceptualmodel for dynamic empowerment of managers must receive special attention.
