چکیده:
Objective: A university is engaged in proper activity when education, research, and socio-cultural activities are carried out in a balanced manner and none hinder the activity of others. A significant portion of extracurricular activities in the university in social, cultural, political, and religious fields is implemented by student organizations. Therefore, it is essential to achieve the maximum effectiveness in the aforementioned fields by employing correct management methods in student organizations. Method: Due to the content poverty of studies in the field of how student organizations operate and the necessity of paying attention to an exploratory approach in this research, the thematic analysis (thematic) method was selected, and semi-structured interviews with 12 people and four brainstorming sessions with the presence of 9 student activists who have experience in managing student organizations were conducted. Findings: The themes identified in the field of challenges and problems of managing student organizations, given their commonalities, were divided into five categories: 'weakness in communications, management changes, weakness in understanding cultural issues, human resource management challenges, and weakness in goals.' Each of these main themes includes sub-themes that are introduced as the constituent components of each challenge and problem. Conclusion: The findings of this research can also be considered as an educational and cultural needs assessment and used in the design of courses, educational workshops, and cultural packages provided by centers such as the Cultural Vice Presidency of the Ministry of Science and the Cultural-Political Vice Presidency of the Representative of the Supreme Leader in universities.

Furthermore, the weakness in communication between student organizations and other intra-university groups has contributed to overlooking some socio-cultural fields; because in some cases, due to the vast scope of a subject, the ability to act in that field is beyond the responsibility of a single organization and requires extra-organizational cooperation.
