A Model for Implementing the Nationwide Mobilization of Science and Technology Based on the Second Step of the Islamic Revolution Statement

Major accomplishments—such as the building of civilizations—are not solely achieved by great individuals, elites, or innovators. Rather, historical and social movements, transformations, and reforms emerge from the synergy between these groups and the general public. In other words, the alignment of mass public movements with leadership has been the key driver behind remarkable phenomena throughout history. Accordingly, in the “Second Step of the Revolution” statement, Imam Khamenei (may his shadow be extended) calls for the initiation of a public movement (national mobilization) across seven critical domains, including science and technology. The aim of the present study is to develop a model for implementing a public movement and national mobilization to achieve a leap in the field of science and technology, in accordance with the framework of the Second Step statement. This research is developmental-applied in nature. Qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using the grounded theory method with MAXQDA software. The statistical population includes experts in the fields of science and technology as well as strategic managers of the country, with a sample size of ۱۴ participants selected and interviewed until theoretical saturation was achieved. Following the process-oriented approach of grounded theory, a total of ۹۷ categories were extracted. These include: ۷ categories for the concept of science and technology mobilization; ۸ for its dimensions; ۱۵ for indicators; ۹ for structural causes and factors; ۱۸ for contextual causes and factors; ۱۲ for behavioral and situational facilitating factors; ۱۰ for behavioral and situational threatening factors; and ۱۶ for strategies and solutions related to national mobilization and the initiation of a public movement for the advancement and expansion of science and technology within the framework of the Second Step statement.
