One of the challenges of the administrative system and the country's administration system is the lack of managers who think and act in line with the discourse of the Islamic State. Based on this, the subject that was discussed in this article is, what educational mechanism can be used to education a managerial staff at the level of the Islamic State. In this regard, in this research, while benefiting from the qualitative content analysis method, the lived experience of the authors in the field of designing educational courses became the basis of the work. The data of the content analysis section was collected through the focus group method. The participants in the focus group of managers were involved in the issue of regulations for providing and education managers of the country's executive bodies. The data analysis showed that the educational mechanism can be designed in three formats: preparation, growth and empowerment, and experience registration. Also, the output of the work showed that for the implementation of each of these educational mechanisms, we need to determine things such as the audience, the competencies of the level manager, the content structure and system, the executors and the standard of holding.

The present study was conducted with the aim of analyzing the perception of teachers regarding the efficiency of school principals in the elementary school. An attempt was made to draw the meaning of the teachers' perception of the efficiency of a principal in elementary school with the help of the interpretive approach, and in this regard, the understanding and evaluation of the participants was depicted. The present research is a qualitative study conducted using the descriptive phenomenological method. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Semi-structured interviews with 22 teachers were conducted until the data were saturated. Qualitative data analysis using the five-step method of Giorgi et al. (2017) led to discovery and classification of eight main themes and forty-four sub-themes. The eight main aspects of efficiency include "personal-individual, communicative-social, psychological, leadership-methodological, spiritual-ethical, strategic, revolutionary-Islamic, and technical-professional." In terms of the importance and criterion of repetition in the perspective of the participants, the communication-social effect showed the highest frequency and the technical-professional effect showed the lowest frequency. The originality of this research is in reminding the validity of human relationships in human environments. Therefore, while using the correct selection and appointment approaches as well as using effective empowerment strategies, it is possible to move from the static management of primary schools to efficient leadership.

The method of the present study was correlation and the statistical population of the present study were all the employees of the companies working in the information technology of Tehran, among them 160 indviduals were selected by convenience sampling method and asked to answer questionnaires of job burnout (Maslach C & Jackson SE, 1981), positive and negative emotions. (Watson et al, 1988) and mindset (Dweck et al., 2006). The research data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the present study showed that there is a significant correlation between negative emotions and job burnout components (P <0.05), in other words, the results of this study showed that by increasing negative emotions, job burnout would be increased in employees. Also, the moderating role of mindset was confirmed in this relationship, which means that the relationship between negative emotions and job burnout was stronger in employees with a fixed mindset than in employees with a growth mindset. In general, the results of this research showed that negative emotions play a role in job burnout and growth mindset can reduce job burnout in employees by moderating negative emotions

The present study aimed to identify the motivations and barriers women face in pursuing school management positions and to determine strategies that could facilitate this pathway. This research employed a qualitative approach with classical grounded theory as its methodology. The field of study focused on female teachers who were candidates for managerial positions in Kurdistan province's school. Using purposive sampling and based on the theoretical saturation principle, 18 participants were selected for the study. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed via open coding and categorization. Research validity was ensured by adhering to the four criteria: Credibility, Dependability, Confirmability and Transformability. The findings revealed 241 open codes and 18 sub-concepts, which were categorized under three main themes: motivations, challenges, and strategies. The motivations included constructive innovation and transformation, personal growth and development, women's managerial competence, effective communication and collaboration, nurturing and developing students, and organizational justice and equality. The challenges highlighted societal stereotypes regarding women's management, lack of legal frameworks supporting women in management roles, role overload, women's resilience issues in managerial positions, unfair appointment practices, and lack of support from higher-level organizations. Finally, the strategies encompassed societal cultural development regarding women's managerial capabilities, provision of welfare facilities, merit-based appointments within a transparent process, and fostering a culture of gender equality.

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.

The aim of this study was to explore and analyze the concept and dimensions of university multifunctionalization as a novel approach in higher education. This research is classified as developmental in terms of its purpose and employs a qualitative methodology, using thematic analysis for data collection and interpretation. The study's target population included professors and specialists in the fields of higher education, educational management, psychology, and social sciences in Tehran during the year 2024. A purposive sampling method was applied, selecting 20 participants for the research sample. Data was gathered through semi-structured interviews, and the analysis was conducted using a three-stage coding strategy within the MAXQDA software environment. The results of the study revealed that in the open coding phase, 478 basic themes, 52 organizing themes, and 9 global themes were identified and categorized. Accordingly, the dimensions of the model developed in this study include: multidimensional education, applied and innovative research, entrepreneurship development and collaboration with industry, responsiveness to societal needs and environmental challenges, technology and digitalization, internationalization and cultural diversity, Islamization and ethical education, effective governance and management, and interdisciplinary skill development. Focusing on these dimensions has the potential to transform universities from merely educational institutions into multifunctional organizations that significantly impact both society and the international community. Therefore, by adopting this approach, higher education administrators and policymakers can substantially enhance universities' ability to meet the increasing demands of society and strengthen their role in promoting sustainable development.
