Abstract Among human functions, one of the broadest issues related to social life is management, which human beings face in managing life from birth to death. Islamic mysticism in itself is considered a unified practical school in all aspects of human existence, especially in its social aspects such as management. This research has explored the subject of management with the approach of Islamic mysticism based on the collective opinions of related experts in the two realms of mysticism and educational management and planning. The management model based on Islamic mysticism is sufficiently competent to achieve effectiveness in practice. And the proposed management model based on the teachings of Islamic mysticism in Parsons's measure in four dimensions of effectiveness: adaptation, goal achievement, unity and maintaining patterns has been approved by relevant experts. The findings of this study can be both in standard beliefs and measures and how to achieve it in the educational system and in strengthening and protecting the cultural and spiritual achievements of the management of different levels of the revolution stemming from the original Islamic thought and a relatively neglected factor in research in this field. To be exploited.

Nowadays, learning does not stop after graduation, but it is considered as the starting point for the development of human resources in the occupation and in this regard, one of the tools to strengthen learning in individuals' professions is the individual development plan. In fact, this plan is a practical tool and a precise schedule to meet the professional needs of employees in line with the goals of the organization and employees’ occupation. Although the usage of this tool is very common, no purposeful study has been done in order to familiarize researchers with the various results of numerous global researches in the field of its implementation. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the findings of global studies on the implementation of individual development plan and its effectiveness in organizations. The results of a total of 23 global and local researches indicate that most of them have emphasized the significant effectiveness of IDP implementation on the development of knowledge, improvement of professional skills and performances of employees, encouragement of professional responses and promotion of employabilities of the individuals. On the other hand, the results of some researches have considered the individual nature of this plan to be the cause of neglecting the macro-organizational strategies; and therefore, these studies have highlighted the lack of motivation and persuasion of the feedback method, the lack of effects on professional actions at the workplace, the ornamental nature and also unrealistic application of this plan. In some other studies, having sufficient support to implement the plan, the type of organizational learning environment, attention to work teams, leadership style, decentralization, and also supporting the coaches in their guiding roles have been mentioned as the factors and conditions for the effectiveness of this plan’s implementation.

The statistical population of this study included all staff of Universities affiliated with the Ministry of Science at four levels of international, national, regional and local levels of performance across the country. The research data were collected from 430 staff members who were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method using Organizational Cynicism Questionnaire. The results of the validation of the method showed that the internal consistency and stability reliability of the Organizational Cynicism Questionnaire by using Cronbach's alpha was 0/93 and by test-retest method was 0/95. Evaluate the content validity, discriminant, and construct of Organizational Cynicism Questionnaire confirms the validity of the questionnaire. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses as the main form revealed three correlated but separable dimensions that were "emotional cynicism","cognitive cynicism", and "behavioural cynicism".

Due to explain academic mentoring and obtain appropriate data, the qualitative research method and the data type of the foundation were used. The statistical population of the study covered all professors and experts who were aware of academic mentoring. Then, semi-structured interviews were conducted with by snowball sampling method until theoretical saturation was reached. The three steps of open coding, axial coding and selective coding of Strauss and Corbin (1998) were used to analyze the data. Findings showed that 45 concepts and 18 categories were counted during the three stages of data analysis and were placed in a paradigm model. These categories are in the order mentioned: in the form of elements of causal conditions (3), main phenomenon (academic mentoring of employability of management students), contextual conditions (3), intervening conditions (2), strategies (4), consequences (4) they got findings showing that academic mentoring can develop students' competencies and skills.

It is clear that educational system has an important role and also motivator of designing culture and civilization as one part of Islamic civilization structure. But, considering some critics about disability of Imami educational systems and their achievements at the first five centuries, their performance not only should be admired, but also its role must be considered and studied as one of the main influential existence.
