Policy making, Skill-based university, Generation ZAbstract
The primary objective of this study was to present a policy-making model for skill-oriented universities with a Generation Z approach. A quantitative, applied, and survey-based methodology was employed to conduct this research. The statistical population consisted of all staff members, managers, and deputies of public and private universities in Tehran. The sample size was determined to be 386 individuals based on Morgan's table. Data collection was carried out using a researcher-developed questionnaire. The validity of the questionnaire was evaluated and confirmed through construct validity, while its reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Finally, structural equation modeling was applied to test the model. The AMOS software was utilized for this section of the analysis. The findings of the study identified the components of the policy-making model for skill-oriented universities with a Generation Z approach.
