The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of educational leadership based on emotional intelligence on self-control and classroom management style in elementary school teachers. This study was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of this study consisted of all elementary school teachers in Tehran who were weak in self-control and classroom management and had a history of violence against students and had referred to counseling in 1403. The sample size was 14 people selected by purposive sampling based on the study entry criteria and randomly divided into two seven-person experimental and control groups. The experimental group received an educational leadership program based on emotional intelligence based on the Mayer and Salovey (2004) model for 8 -90minute sessions, and the control group did not receive any training during this period. The research tools included the Grasmick (1993) self-control and the Amin Yazdi and Aali (2008) classroom management style questionnaires. Multivariate analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data. The findings of this study showed that in the experimental group, there was a significant change (P=0.001 and E=0.37) in self-control compared to the control group, but no significant change was observed in the classroom management style. Based on the data obtained from the study, it can be concluded that the educational leadership program based on emotional intelligence was effective in improving self-control in elementary school teachers, but it did not have a significant effect on their classroom management style.

Identifying a specific competency model for selecting managers in any organization is a suitable alternative for selecting efficient managers. The purpose of this research was to identify the competencies and design and validate the competency model of Iran Oil Terminal Company managers. In this study, 20 managers with high and normal performance were selected from among 45 managers. "Applicable" used both quantitative and qualitative methods (in-depth interview of behavioral events, expert panel and questionnaire) to collect and analyze data. Thematic analysis, job analysis, and Q methodology approaches were used to determine specific competencies. The final competency model of managers was designed in three dimensions of individual competency, managerial competency and organizational competency with 9 main themes and 43 basic themes. Validation findings showed that the compiled competency model is well able to predict outstanding and ordinary performance and therefore has "simultaneous cross-validation". Also, the findings of "simultaneous construct validation" showed that outstanding managers get higher scores in the competency model than ordinary managers. Also, the retest reliability of the competency model test was estimated at 0.87 and the reliability between two evaluators was estimated at 0.83.

Organizational silence is a significant issue in educational settings, potentially hindering effective communication and organizational progress. This study explores the impact of organizational cynicism on teachers' organizational silence, as well as the mediating role of job plateau in this relationship. The research method was descriptive-correlational using structural equation modeling (SEM). The statistical population included all high school teachers of Salas Babajani County, and a sample of 200 teachers was selected using stratified random sampling based on the Krejcie and Morgan table. Data were collected using the Job Plateau Questionnaire by Allen et al. (2004), the Organizational Cynicism Scale by Dean et al. (1998), and the Organizational Silence Questionnaire by Dyne et al. (2003). Content and construct validity of the questionnaires were confirmed by experts, and their reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha. The results of data analysis showed that organizational cynicism has a direct effect on organizational silence. Furthermore, job plateau influences organizational silence, and organizational cynicism affects job plateau. In addition, organizational cynicism indirectly influences organizational silence through job plateau. The findings of this study indicate that teachers' organizational cynicism directly affects organizational silence and exacerbates this effect through job plateau. Based on these findings, it is recommended that managers reduce factors related to organizational cynicism and job plateau to help decrease organizational silence in educational environments.

The success of a dynamic and excellence-oriented education system relies on principals who are competent, skilled, and passionate about effective teaching and learning. This study aimed to identify and evaluate the professional competencies of elementary school principals in Kosar City. The research was applied in nature and utilized a descriptive survey design for data collection. The statistical population included all principals, assistants, counselors, and education department managers in Kosar City, with a sample of 102 individuals selected through random sampling method. A researcher-developed questionnaire was employed to gather data, whose content validity was confirmed by experts, and its reliability was established with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.83. Data analysis was performed using confirmatory factor analysis and one-sample t-tests. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis revealed that three dimensions-skills and abilities, attitudes and values, and individual characteristics -constituted the framework for the manageres’ general competencies, while five dimensions-knowledge competencies, supervision and control, communication management, resource management, and educational management-formed the framework for specialized competencies of elementary school principals in Kosar City. Furthermore, the findings indicated that both general and specialized competencies identified for these principals were in favorable conditions. Accordingly, leveraging the identified dimensions and components for the selection and development of principals can contribute to the efficient and effective fulfillment of schools’ educational missions.

Education systems (public and higher) play a key role in the comprehensive development of diverse ecosystems, but in recent decades, with increasing turbulence and global financial crises, governments have lacked funding to provide education. Higher education budget deficits have become increasingly important. This has made it imperative to pay more attention to evaluating the performance of educational units to improve their financial resources to increase their efficiency and effectiveness. Therefore, using this qualitative method, in particular, the cross-cutting strategy seeks to answer two questions: 1) What are the categories and concepts of content analysis and content analysis strategy with the educational system? Can these concepts and categories be presented to improve the status of the education system? Succeeded. In the first question, for the first question, there were five sub-categories: governance, management-executive, welfare, consequence, educational system. In the second question, corresponding to each of these categories, the status of the educational system was criticized and then the policies proposed.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between social Undermining and job involvement of employees with the role of spirituality in work, organizational agility and ethical climate.The research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlational using structural equation modeling methods.Among 292 employees of the general department of education of Lorestan Province, 169 were selected by relative stratified random sampling. data were collected from 5 questionnaires: Duffy et al (2002), Edwards & Kilpatrick (1984), Sharifi & Zhang (1999), Millman et al (2003), and Victor & Cullen's ethical climate (1988) and partial least squares method and Smart PLS software were used for data analysis.The results showed: Social undermining has a significant negative relationship with job involvement and has no relationship with ethical climate, organizational agility and spirituality at work. Organizational agility and spirituality at work have a significant positive relationship with job involvement, but ethical climate has no significant positive relationship with job involvement. Organizational agility and spirituality at work as positive mediators of social undermining and job involvement have a positive role, but the ethical climate has no effect.

This study aimed to identify the foundations for implementing educational leadership in elementary schools. The research employed a qualitative approach using a case study method. Two non-profit girls' primary schools, Takrim and Fazeh, were selected for this study. These schools, guided by a religious framework, utilized diverse strategies to enhance the quality of education and training. The participants included 24 individuals (teachers, educational assistants, and principals) from these schools. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 participants until theoretical saturation was achieved. Data were collected through researcher-designed semi-structured interviews and analyzed using a qualitative content analysis method. The data were categorized into open, axial, and selective codes. This study identified four key domains for the implementation of educational leadership. The organizational domain encompasses goal-setting and vision development programs for employees, evaluation and effectiveness plans, employee participation in decision-making, effective communication strategies, time management, and professional development initiatives for managers. The student-focused domain includes individual development plans, educational and skill-building programs, as well as self-awareness and knowledge enhancement initiatives. The teacher-focused domain comprises empowerment and self-awareness programs, while the family-focused domain involves educational and skill-building programs and initiatives to raise awareness of the school’s approach. These domains collectively form the foundational frameworks for achieving effective educational leadership.
