چکیده

باتوجه ‏به روند روبه ‏افزایش خروج دانش‏ آموختگان مهندسی در سال‏ های اخیر، پژوهش حاضر با هدف طراحی الگوی نگهداشت دانش‏ آموختگان مهندسی در دانشگاه‏ ها و مؤسسات آموزش عالی انجام شد. این پژوهش از نوع کیفی با رویکرد نظریه ‏پردازی داده‏بنیاد و با مشارکت ۳۰ نفر از استادان، متخصصان و مدیران حوزۀ مهندسی صورت گرفت که ازطریق نمونه‏ گیری هدفمند انتخاب شدند. داده‏ ها ازطریق مصاحبه‏ های نیمه ‏ساختاریافته و عمیق گردآوری شد و با روش تحلیل محتوای کیفی طی 3 مرحلۀ‏ کدگذاری باز، محوری و گزینشی در نرم‏افزار MAXQDA 20 تحلیل شد. از مجموع ۸۰۵ کد اولیه، ۳۲ مفهوم با ادغام مفاهیم مشابه استخراج و در چارچوب مدل اَبَرانگاره‏ای نظریۀ داده‏ بنیاد سازمان‏دهی شد. نتایج پژوهش نشان می‏دهد که پدیدۀ نگهداشت دانش ‏آموختگان مهندسی تحت‏ تأثیر مجموع ه‏ای از شرایط علّی، شرایط زمینه ‏ای و شرایط مداخله‏ گر شکل می‏ گیرد و ازطریق راهبردهایی چون توانمندسازی شرکت‏ های دانش‏بنیان، رهبری و مدیریت در صنعت، توسعۀ نوآورانه، بهینه‏ سازی اشتغال یا مسیر شغلی، اصلاح نظام آموزشی، بسترسازی اجتماعی و فرهنگی تحقق می ‏یابد. پیامدهای این الگو شامل تحول علمی و نوآوری، توسعۀ اقتصادی و صنعتی، حفظ و توسعۀ سرمایه‏ هاست. بر این اساس، نظریه ‏ای جدید و برخاسته از داده‏ های مصاحبۀ کیفی برای نگهداشت دانش ‏آموختگان مهندسی ارائه شد.

چکیده English

Considering the increasing trend of engineering graduate attrition in recent years, the present study aimed to design a retention model for engineering graduates in universities and higher education institutions. This qualitative research was conducted with a data-based theorizing approach and with the participation of 30 professors, experts, and managers in the field of engineering, who were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured and in-depth interviews and analysed using qualitative content analysis in three stages of open, axial, and selective coding in MAXQDA 20 software. From a total of 805 initial codes, 32 concepts were extracted by merging similar concepts and organized within the framework of the paradigmatic model of grounded theory. The results of the research show that the phenomenon of engineering graduate retention is influenced by a set of causal conditions, contextual conditions, and intervening conditions and it is realized through strategies such as empowering knowledge-based companies, leadership and management in the industry, innovative development, optimizing employment or career paths, reforming the educational system, and creating a social and cultural platform. The consequences of this model include scientific transformation and innovation, economic and industrial development, and the preservation and development of capital.
