Using Distributed leadership framework in studying the leadership phenomena in teams at educational environment, has received more attention by scholars in these years. Distributed leadership has been studied in teams which introduced new interdisciplinary programs, updated curriculum, or engaged in interdisciplinary research and educational areas. Although the results of these researches indicated positive consequences mostly, the need for exploratory studies to identify situational and contextual factors in distributed leadership effectiveness has been mentioned. In other words, it has been suggested that the effectiveness of distributed leadership in teams may be affected by situational and contextual factors. In the current multiple case study, after the initial study of leadership and its functions in some schools of Sharif University of Technology, new educational major founding teams were selected for deeper case study. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and were analyzed with grounded theory approach. Comparison of cases’ results with each other based on building theory from case studies approach, revealed three categories of situational and contextual factors; including factors related to teams’ goals and objectives, members and environment. These factors affect distributed leadership effectiveness through facilitating the process and strengthening distributed leadership practice in teams. Finally, based on the findings and theoretical arguments, future research propositions have been suggested.

The research method is descriptive-correlational one and data collected using two questionnaires (i.e., Naderi’s human capital questionnaire and a researcher-developed questionnaire of customer satisfaction based on Likert scale and Organizational documents). Reliability of questionnaires was evaluated by using Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient (0.93 for human capital questionnaire and .63 for customer satisfaction questionnaire). To analyze the data descriptive measures such as frequency and average figures, and statistical techniques such as one sample t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis have been used. The results of study show that: The human capital level and customer satisfaction status in Asia Insurance Company Branches are significantly above the average, and the profit in Asia Insurance Company Branches has been significantly below of the standard figures. In addition, we found a positive and significant relationship between human capital and income, sales, and profit gained by the Asia Insurance Company accompanied with the customer satisfaction. Among the components of human capital, only knowledge can explain the variance and changes of income as well as sales. Among the components of human capital, skills and specialization would explain the variance and changes of profit and customer satisfaction.

The present study sought to identify the predictability of knowledge sharing based on the dimensions of toxic organizational climate among employees of educational institutions in Sarab using correlational design. The statistical population of this study was 1648 people and the corresponding sample size was 313 people. The sampling method of this study was stratified. After deleting Perth data using Mahalanobis index, the number of samples reached 286 and analyzes were performed on this number. To collect data, standard questionnaires of rural organizational toxic atmosphere and Dixon knowledge sharing were used. Data analysis using Pearson correlation test showed that toxic physical structure, toxic service reward and compensation system, toxic interpersonal relationships and toxic leadership have a significant relationship with knowledge sharing. Findings from stepwise regression analysis showed that the system of reward and compensation for toxic service and poisonous leadership can predict knowledge sharing. Due to the lack of significant effect of toxic physical structure dimensions and toxic interpersonal relationships on knowledge sharing, these dimensions were removed from the model by software. Findings showed that knowledge sharing in educational institutions can be predicted by some dimensions of toxic organizational climate; therefore, it is necessary to adopt and implement appropriate strategies to prevent the manifestation of toxic organizational climate dimensions and eliminate them.

Based on the analysis of opinions and views of experts, 9 challenges and 23 problems were counted and identified. The results of the Friedman test have also shown that challenges and issues do not have the same importance and priority. Therefore, according to the conditions and needs of society, addressing some of them has more priority than others.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to design a model for facilitating teaching and learning process based on the experiences of female principals of primary schools. In order to achieve this goal, the qualitative approach and the Grounded theory method were used. The research population included 39 female principals of elementary schools in Izeh city. Sampling by snowball method continued until theoretical saturation was reached and finally a semi-structured interview was conducted with 12 female principals of elementary schools in Izeh city. And then the information collected in the interviews were analyzed using three main stages of data coding (open, Axial and selective). In the first stage of open coding, 285 initial codes were identified, which were reduced to 121 codes after removing duplicate codes. In the Axial coding stage, 21 categories were obtained from establishing links and communication between the concepts, then these categories were categorized into 6 main categories (central category, causal conditions, Contextual conditions, intervening conditions, strategies and consequences) and the final model of facilitating the teaching process- Learning was achieved. Based on the theory obtained from the research findings, causal and effective conditions on facilitating the teaching-learning process,Contextual conditions, intervening conditions, strategies and consequences have been examined and the final model has been presented.

Pioneering universities have focused on the students' supremacy in the field of leadership, especially spiritual leadership, due to the complexities of today's world and the excellence of the human society. The aim of this research is to provide a model for the spiritual development of students in Islamic Azad University. Research has been done with a qualitative approach and content analysis strategy. To this end, the study of the related specialized texts related to spirituality leadership and students development, as well as semi-structured interviews with 14 academic scholars (related professors and senior managers of Islamic Azad University and managers of science & research unit) to data saturation were selected through targeted sampling. Data analysis was conducted through open and axial coding, which resulted in the extraction of 368 open codes and 18 categories. Finally, a model consisting of 3 dimensions and 85 components as the core of the model with 10 effective factors, 3 strategies, 38 mechanisms and 5 consequences was developed
