Background and Objectives: One of the most important principles in educational organizations and institutions is human capital and that talent management can help promote it. The main purpose of this study is to "present the talent management model of high school principals in Shiraz". Methods: The present study is an applied in terms of purpose. This research is a descriptive survey in terms of data collection method. The instrument used in this study was a 39-item researcher-made questionnaire. In the pilot study, there were several tools and questionnaires in the field of talent management that these questionnaires examined only the three dimensions of attracting, retaining and promoting talent management. Therefore, in order to use more accurate tools, a researcher-made questionnaire has been developed. Due to the use of a researcher-made questionnaire from the heuristic factor analysis test through the validity of the construct has been confirmed. In order to compile the questionnaire, first by studying the existing empirical background and some resources related to talent management, the main components affecting talent management were identified and counted. In this research, exploratory factor analysis has been used to select the number of factors and special value. Eigenvalue is the amount of variance of all tests extracted by factors. According to this criterion, the minimum eigenvalue for factor selection is greater than one. The results of KMO and Bartlett tests were very suitable for factor analysis for research data. Because the value of KMO index is equal to 0.768 and the level of significance of this test is 0.000. Therefore, it can be said that the data have an acceptable appropriat eness for the factor analysis test. Finally, the reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha method and the total alpha was 0.899, which confirmed the high reliability of the questionnaire. The statistical population of this study includes all principals of secondary schools in Shiraz, which includes a total of 188 schools in four education districts of Shiraz, which were selected by the principals of these schools. Findings: Structural equation test showed the order of path coefficient value from highest to lowest as following: (1) talent evaluation and discovery component; (2) the talent acquisition component and the third was related to the talent retention component, the fourth was the talent promotion, and finally, the fifth, to the development and training component. The results of Friedman rank test show that according to the degree of freedom (4) and Chi-square (856/139) and the level of significance (0.000), the five components studied have different means. The highest average is related to the talent absorption component (average 5) in the first rank and in the second rank the development and education component (average 3.84), talent retention in the third rank (average 2.41), the fourth rank in talent promotion (average 2.08 ) And is in the fifth and final rank of talent assessment and discovery (average 1.67). Conclusion: The results of the research showed that several components such as development and education, evaluation and discovery of talent and talent promotion affect the talent management of principals in schools. It is necessary to apply the talent management model in a practical way in order to promote human capital in education.

Background and Objectives: One of the most important challenges facing human resource experts is proving the role of these resources in value creation of the organization. With the advent of knowledge organizations in the knowledge-based economy, the share of human capital in the value creation of the organization has surpassed the physical and structural capital and heavy investments in human resources to make them the main factor justified competitive advantages. Since efficient and value-creating manpower is the most valuable resource of any organization, most of the investments are focused on human resources. The most important tool used for this purpose is training, which is used with the aim of improving the quality of skills, knowledge and attitudes that enable people to perform their duties and the success of the organization. In a dynamic and efficient organization, employees need new training and new skills to regain the success of their careers and to be equipped with what is needed for high-standard training. Manpower training courses include programs and activities designed to improve employee performance with the aim of solving current performance problems and preventing future problems of the organization. It is also an approach whose main purpose is to change and teach employees and increase the skills needed to perform job duties more effectively. This research has sought to explain the development model of the system supporting electronic performance with the human resource rewarding approach in governmental organizations. Methods: The research method was mixed. The statistical population of the present study in the qualitative part included experts in the field of support of electronic performance and value creation of human resources of governmental organizations. In the qualitative part the population included senior staff of public organizations in Ardabil province. Sample size in the qualitative section was 24 people selected through targeted sampling and snowball interviews, and in the quantitative part, 278 of the senior staff members of public organizations in Ardebil province were selected by proportional allocation sampling method.The instruments used in the qualitative section were structured interviews and semi-structured interviews, and in the quantitative section, a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS and PLS software. Findings: According to research findings, research structures were satisfactory Also, all components of the electronic performance support system offered in the human resource value creation were desirable. Conclusion: Electronic performance support system plays an important role in realizing the value creation of human resources. This means that as the level of support for electronic performance increases, the value creation of human resources will also increase. Due to the multiplicity of government organizations, it is suggested that in future research, government organizations be clustered according to appropriate criteria and then be studied and analyzed in each cluster separately and if possible they merge to achieve more reliable results at the national level; providing a computer-based job environment and combining appropriate tools in it, which indicates the actual performance of employees, and can increase the effectiveness and efficiency of this system in creating value for employees; managers of government organizations should pay basic attention to the skill level of employees in designing support resources and choosing the level of support; and finally, according to the results of these analyses, the level and element of performance support should be identified and selected. to increase the value creation of human resources.

Background and Objectives: The economic growth of a country depends on several factors, among which the role of knowledge is undeniable. Many studies have shown that countries' GDP is often affected by the country's knowledge infrastructure. A knowledge-based economy is an economy that is directly based on the production, distribution and consumption of knowledge, and investment in knowledge and knowledge-based industries is given special attention. In this economy, where a significant share of GDP is from knowledge-based and knowledge-creating activities, knowledge generates more production than traditional factors such as labor and capital, and the value of many software and biotechnology companies arises from non-physical capitals, i.e. their knowledge and scientific privileges. Accordingly, knowledge creation is an essential weapon in today's world and without a continuous process of knowledge creation, any society is doomed to destruction. Knowledge creation and learning is the creation of new knowledge, or the replacement and improvement of the existing knowledge through social relations and organizational partnerships. The creation and application of knowledge has a major role in increasing wealth in a knowledge-based economy. The problem is that knowledge creation and learning has not been investigated at the national level yet. Methods: By applying qualitative-quantitative methods, based on Delphi technique, the procedure of identifying and explaining the processes of national knowledge creation and learning has been discussed first. Then by using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, a significant t-value of more than 1.96, between the identified dimensions and the variable national knowledge creation and learning, was obtained that was acceptable. Findings: Additionally, the impact of the process of national knowledge creation and learning on GDP was measured through conducting a survey and using a questionnaire, while taking the mediating role of national intelligence into account by using Sobel test. It was found that by including the mediating variable of national intelligence, the standardized beta for the relationship between national knowledge creation and learning, and gross domestic product was reduced from 0.80 to 0.18, but it is significant. Conclusion: Therefore, the variable national intelligence plays the role of a partial mediator; in other words, while the impact of national knowledge creation and learning, as the main variable, is maintained, the mediating role of national intelligence also affects GDP. This research had some limitations. One of these limitations was the stereotyped thinking about the process of knowledge creation. In this study, only one dimension of knowledge management, namely ‘knowledge creation’ was used. While we can pay attention to all the processes of the knowledge management cycle in society, instead of just thinking about the creation of knowledge at the national level, in order to promote national performance. Based on this, it is suggested that other researchers consider other dimensions of the knowledge management cycle and go one step further. Researchers can also examine the existing challenges and potential barriers to the national knowledge creation process or the requirements for knowledge creation at the national level. Alternatively, researchers can study international knowledge creation processes by considering cultural differences and provide solutions to increase the likelihood of knowledge creation globally. It is suggested that future researchers make a comparative study of the national knowledge creation model with other models of measuring intellectual capital in the world and examine the strengths and weaknesses of each model and prioritize these models based on their applicability in similar countries. It is also suggested that researchers use fuzzy logic theory to make relative measurements of each of the constructs of the national knowledge creation process and conduct field and academic research in this regard. As another suggestion, researchers can conduct this research on a specific industry and compare its results with the results of this study.

Background and Objective:The first major step in improving service quality is to recognize customers’ expectations and perceptions of service quality and to determine service quality gaps and then adopt the necessary strategies to reduce gaps and provide feedback. In this case, not only is the prioritization and allocation of strategic resources facilitated, but also the basis is provided to improve the quality of services and increase their effectiveness. Quality assessment studies focus on the content area and the process of creating quality, and less attention has been paid to taxonomic study in this area. Taxonomy studies in the field of service quality not only provide a good description of the recipient groups, but also provide the context for more specialized studies in this field and theorizing in it. The aim of this study was to examine the taxonomy of student's satisfaction of service quality provided in Academic Affairs and Postgraduate Management of University of Bojnord. Methods: The study population consisted of all 4039 undergraduate and postgraduate students at University of Bojnord in four faculties: humanities, arts, basic sciences, and engineering. The sample size was calculated 354 people using the Morgan table. To sampling of students, a class-based sampling method was used based on the college, departmental level and gender. In the end, 359 students were analyzed. The data collection tool has been localized SERVQUAL questionnaire. Instrument reliability and validity was assessment using of Cronbach's alpha and convergent validity. K-mean cluster analysis was used to analyze the data. Three clusters of students with different orientations than the services quality provided were identified that were conducted with students with passive orientation, students with idealistic orientation and students with realistic orientation. Findings: The results indicated that only 17% of students in the student group had passive orientation and 83% of students were concerned about the quality of the services provided in the Academic Affairs and Postgraduate Management Section. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that students' satisfaction with the quality of service delivery in Bojnourd University's Academic Affairs and Postgraduate Management was moderate. The results of students’ satisfaction taxonomy showed the existence of three groups of students with three different approaches to the quality of services received. Groups of students with three titles including passive orientation, students with idealistic orientation and students with realistic orientation were identified.

Background and Objective:As universities and higher education institutions nurture productive human capital, they are pressured by educational policymakers and society to function, be accountable, to achieve justice, and to transform society. This necessitates the reconstruction of a new concept of leadership and its ethics. Higher education is a complementary institution to systematic primary and secondary public education and a product of the revival of civilization. Higher education can serve the development of the infrastructure and structures of society in all dimensions and facilitate the preservation and protection of the achievements and ideals of society. The higher education system has a significant share and importance in economic, social and cultural development due to its role in training skilled and specialized human resources needed by the economic and social sectors. Efficient higher education increases the efficiency of all institutions and organizations in society and, due to limited resources, increases the productivity and efficiency of individuals and organizations; Important factors such as spirituality in the workplace can play a role in the productivity of this institution. The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictive role of spirituality on the leadership effectiveness in the workplace of the university. Methods: By purposes, this research is practical and on the base of data collection, the quantitative research method is descriptive. By stratified random sampling method, 115 faculty members of Shahid Rajaee Teacher Training University were selected in the academic year of 2014-2015. Spirituality in the workplace Milliman et al.’s questionnaire and Ramsend's questionnaire of "Leadership Effectiveness" were used. The factual and content validity of the questionnaires was confirmed by five professors in the subject area. The obtained Cronbach's alpha, by SPSS software 22 version, was 0.889 and 0.88, respectively, for the reliability of the tools. Findings:The findings showed that the coefficient influence of spirituality on leadership effectiveness is 0.75, at the level of 0.05. Also, according to the results of the standard coefficients, the meaningful work and Alignment with the organization’s values, respectively, 0.26 and 0.31 at the level of 0.05 are significant. The Alignment with the organization’s values component by itself can be as the strongest predictor of leadership effectiveness in the workplace of the university and can significantly explain 0.54% of total variance of leadership effectiveness in the workplace of the university. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that attention to the two components of meaningful work and alignment of values in the workplace as a predictor of leadership effectiveness can improve the effectiveness of leadership in management departments. For this purpose, it is suggested that at the level of the officials of the Ministry of Research, Science and Technology, compiling the regulations in line with the educational and research duties of the professors should be included. First, it is considered valuable in terms of its value principles, and the expected expectations are in line with the spiritual values, so that the university decision-makers and policy-makers by setting strategies and goals in the upstream documents of the university, as well as defining their operation by drafting new regulations should take practical measures regarding educational and research activities to produce basic ethics knowledge among faculty members in order to create a meaningful sense of work in terms of value.

Developing the production centers of knowledge, technology and technical skills is the requirement of economic growth in the third millennium. Entrepreneurship can be considered as one of the important engines of growth and development. At this point, the role of entrepreneur and entrepreneurship in the community is determined which can be more clearly realized through universities and centers of entrepreneurship. In this paper, we tried to find the administrative process of entrepreneurship as well as the relationship between education and the kind of necessary training for entrepreneurship. Three tests including: 1 – Kalmogrof-Asmyronf tests, 2- one sample t-test, 3- Friedman rank test were used in this research in a cross-sectional form to test the hypotheses of the research and to analyze them inferentially. The research conclusion has shown that the evolutionary leadership among the internal factors of the university, the university process and the revival factors of the university and also creating a scientific and dynamic environment among the basic and fundamental changes in the university are the most effective ones in the stability of entrepreneur universities. At the end of the paper, some suggestions have been presented regarding the development of "entrepreneurship education" in order to stabilize entrepreneur universities.
