Investigating factors and solutions that affect development and improvement programs for faculty members could influence the effectiveness of these programs and improve the quality of higher education services. Therefore, the aim of this research is to identify the effective factors and solutions that play an important role in development and improvement programs of faculty members. The present research was conducted with the qualitative content analysis method. The research participants included faculty members of universities and higher education institutions in Tehran and 15 individuals were selected as the study sample and semi-structured interviews were conducted.
