The primary aim of this article is to propose a model for enhancing social intelligence among faculty members of Farhangian University in Tehran. The research method employed is a mixed-method approach (qualitative-quantitative). In addition to documentary studies, the technique of thematic analysis using MAXQDA12 software was utilized to identify the dimensions and components. The statistical population in this research includes all experts in educational management, cultural management, human resource management, as well as experts in social psychology. Theoretical saturation was reached after conducting 20 interviews, each lasting between 75 to 120 minutes. In the end, basic, organizing, and overarching themes were extracted. In the quantitative section, to determine the current status and the contribution of dimensions and components, a developmental method using structural equation modeling (PLS software) was employed. Based on the semi-structured interviews, 55 indicators, 9 components, and 3 dimensions were identified for constitutive factors; 3 dimensions, 7 components, and 42 indicators for facilitating factors; and 3 dimensions, 6 components, and 17 indicators for inhibitory factors for enhancing social intelligence among the faculty members of Farhangian University in Tehran. According to the coefficients obtained from the structural equation modeling, the facilitating factors ranked first with a coefficient of 0.837, inhibitory factors ranked second with a coefficient of 0.808, and constitutive factors ranked third with a coefficient of 0.778. Finally, through internal validation using four dimensions (philosophy and objectives, theoretical foundations, evaluation system, executive mechanism), the model was confirmed by experts.
