Sumario:The purpose of this study was a comparative investigation of organizational pathology patterns in order to provide a suitable strategy for Iranian organizations. In order to identify and classify the effective components in organizational pathological patterns and achieve a comprehensive model, we can use the analysis and comparison of existing models. The method of the present study was a qualitative comparative based on content analysis approach. The statistical population including all organizational pathology models and sample of research was selected through purposive sampling method. Data collection method documentary and data were evaluated through internal (content accuracy) and external evaluations (document accuracy). Qualitative content analysis method was also used to analyze the data. Findings reveal that in most of the existing models for organizational pathology, designers have considered dimensions such as structure, systems, goals and missions, strategies, management and leadership styles, communication and environment. In addition, the main difference among patterns is in the financial, marketing and customer orientation dimensions. Another finding of the research is that most models emphasize organizational aspects more than individual dimensions. According to the research findings, organizational decision-makers are advised to choose a model to determine and identify the pathology of their organization that has more in common with other existing models and is also more appropriate to prevalent conditions of Iranian educational organizations.
