Lack of serious attention and attention to local and national theorizing at the university and research centers level causes weak analyses and wrong decisions and policies at the organizational level and designing weak and ineffective programs at the operational level, the consequences of which will be considered anarchism in practice and incompetence, and this important weakness and defect in the field of social activities and missions will cause citizens to distrust the efficiency of the organization. The purpose of this research is to identify the obstacles to theorizing of university faculty members.
The research method is applied in terms of purpose and is included in the mixed methods in terms of nature. The research strategy is sequential exploratory. For this purpose, in the first place, the interview tool was used to collect the opinions of experts about the obstacles to theorizing. The sampling method was snowball and the process continued until the theoretical saturation stage. In the next stage, based on the collected codes, the questionnaire of the obstacles to theorizing at the university was prepared from the qualitative interviews and extracted with a quantitative "descriptive-survey" method and then distributed among 385 members of the university faculty according to the Cochran formula by cluster random method to determine their opinion on the importance of each item.
In general, in the qualitative section, after conducting 15 interviews and analyzing the interviews, 218 basic codes, 45 organizing codes, and 4 comprehensive codes were collected.
In this regard, attracting talented elites and proper management of the country's scientific capital play a significant role in the development of theorizing and the production of science.
