Twelve faculty members from the Faculty of Fine Arts, familiar with organizational dynamics and trauma, were selected through purposive theoretical sampling until data saturation was achieved. Data were collected through semi-structured, in-depth interviews, each lasting between 50 to 70 minutes. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed using Colaizzi’s seven-step method, supported by MAXQDA 2020 software. The credibility of the findings was enhanced through member checking and thematic validation.</p> <p><strong>Findings: </strong>The analysis yielded 105 initial codes, which were synthesized into 59 core concepts grouped into six major dimensions of overcoming organizational trauma: managerial, structural, psychological, cultural, technological, and environmental. Each dimension contained secondary components such as ethical leadership, process simplification, mental health services, inclusive policies, digital infrastructure, and safe physical environments. The findings underscore the multidimensional nature of trauma in academic institutions and emphasize the interrelation between leadership practices, institutional structure, and psychological well-being. Participants emphasized that organizational recovery requires both emotional and systemic interventions tailored to the context of post-conflict higher education environments.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Overcoming organizational trauma in academic institutions demands a holistic and context-sensitive framework addressing not only psychological and emotional healing but also structural, cultural, and environmental reform.</p> https://www.qijes.com/index.php/ijes/article/download/1369/1370
