The research method employed in the present study was exploratory, and the research strategy was qualitative, based on the application of a phenomenological approach. Utilizing semi-structured interviews, the study explored the perspectives, experiences, and insights of scholars and experts to identify the dimensions and components influencing e-leadership, ultimately resulting in the development of a conceptual model. The research participants included academic experts (with a minimum of 10 years of faculty experience and holding at least an assistant professorship) and active managers in governmental organizations (with a minimum of 10 years of managerial experience in the public sector). A non-probability purposive judgmental sampling method was used to select participants. Sampling continued until theoretical saturation was reached, and the researcher was ultimately able to conduct interviews with 14 individuals. The findings derived from the interview text analysis—based on the phenomenological approach and a three-stage coding process (open, axial, and selective coding)—revealed that six dimensions (main categories) and 32 components (subcategories) are influential in shaping the e-leadership model in Iranian governmental organizations. These dimensions include: (1) attention to leadership and guidance requirements (comprising 7 components), (2) attention to technical and professional requirements (comprising 7 components), (3) attention to communication and interactional requirements (comprising 3 components), (4) attention to the psychological requirements of the leader (comprising 6 components), (5) attention to the requirements for employee alignment and synchronization (comprising 3 components), and (6) attention to procedural requirements (comprising 4 components).</p> https://www.journalrmde.com/index.php/jrmde/article/download/99/93
