The total validity of the test was 9692.0. Results: Based on the initial determinant, the numerical correlation matrix of non-zero and Bartlett test result was statistically significant less than 0.0001. Therefore, KMO = 0.95 was calculated, which indicates that sample size is sufficient for sampling. The agents of the PC and the method of rotation were assigned to a correlated agent, forming a test tear. In this research, it is found that Academic leadership also does not have a significant relationship with the type of employment and age, because the significance level of Pearson in the total of the mentioned factors is more than 0.05. Conversely with sex, university, education, job status, organizational unit, service experience in the statistical population studied. Conclusion: This study showed that to make a change in universities’ structure, physical space, and more importantly to renew the approach universities are managed accordingly and to make a shift from management toward leadership and from academic leadership to entrepreneurial academic leadership, would be deemed an effective step in today s successful universities.
