Abstract
In the vein of other areas of human knowledge, the theories and models developed for management and leadership are being settled by some scientific paradigms. In this respect, two major paradigms, namely, the Newtonian and quantum, have extensively influenced all organizational theories and models. Implementing such models accordingly calls for new management styles, here termed quantum management (QM). For this purpose, 16 experts of educational management, selected by purposive sampling, were interviewed until theoretical saturation was reached. The study findings demonstrated that the causal conditions with a weak coefficient of determination (R², 28%) were the moderate predictors of QM in educational organizations. As well, the underlying and intervening conditions along with QM with a medium R2 (51%) could strongly predict the strategies/enablers, and then the strategies/enablers with a medium R2 (55%) were the strong predictors of the QM consequences.
