Abstract
A scientific examination of the factors influencing the disagreements between the parliament and the government is of great importance. In the complex process of legislation and law enforcement, management style plays a significant role. It is evident that representatives draft or pass laws based on their understanding and perception of the conditions and performance of governments. The primary objective of this research is to identify the factors influencing the disagreements between the parliament and the government in the process of legislation and law enforcement, using the classic grounded theory approach. The main research question was: What are the factors influencing the disagreements between the parliament and the government during Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's presidency? Data analysis through the coding and analysis process led to the emergence of 85 codes, 11 abstract concepts, three categories, two main propositions, and seven sub-propositions. The research results indicated that the influencing factors affected the disagreements between the parliament and the government through two categories: mental models and mental processes. Mental models refer to ideology, partisan tendencies, beliefs, attitudes, and the historical perspective of the representatives, while mental processes refer to attention, self-awareness, and the analytical power of the representatives.
