This study aimed to develop a strategic thinking model of higher education managers based on structure. The structure of any organization plays an important role in maintaining order and achieving goals. The research method was exploratory and was conducted in the academic year 2019. First, the themes of strategic thinking of higher education managers based on structuring were identified using the inductive theme analysis method and based on the whole field of research, which included the categories contained in databases and books related to strategic thinking. Holsti method was used to obtain reliability. Then, using the range technique, the identified themes were juxtaposed and compared, and finally, the all-encompassing structural theme had organizing themes of 1- decision-making 2- prioritization 3- evaluation 4- process-oriented. Then, according to the identified themes, a questionnaire was designed to validate the model with 18 items, the final score of 0.952 was obtained using Cronbach's alpha. The research population in the quantitative section was higher education managers with 2816. The method was multi-stage random sampling in which 338 samples were determined. The confirmatory factor analysis method was used to validate the research model. All themes with high factor load were approved, which showed the high validity of the model.

The present study was conducted with the aim of predicting the competitive intelligence of educational administrators based on faith and political intelligence in girls' schools in Tehran's 14th district. This research is a practical and descriptive correlational study. The study community of school principals and deputies in Tehran's 14th district, which had 158 principals and deputy principals. According to the statistical population, the statistical sample size was determined using Krejcie and Morgan table of 120 people. This number of samples was selected from the statistical population using simple random sampling method. To measure the variables, the questionnaire of religiosity in "Lynn" (2008), competitive intelligence of Fariba Mahani (2012) and political intelligence of Dostar et al. (2016) were used.The present study was conducted with the aim of predicting the competitive intelligence of educational administrators based on faith and political intelligence in girls' schools in Tehran's District 14.

Data were analyzed by descriptive method and correlation and multiple regression methods. The findings showed that there were positive and significant relationships between the variables of faith and competitive intelligence, faith and political intelligence, and competitive intelligence and political intelligence. Also, the variables of faith and political intelligence predicted competitive intelligence positively. It is concluded that the higher the level of religious beliefs and commitment to religious duties in school principals and the higher their political intelligence, the more competitive their intelligence. Managers can make more appropriate decisions in the interests of their educational organization by using information related to resources, environmental facilities and competitors, and considering the opportunities and threats of the external environment.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of self-development on job performance of University of Science and Culture employees. The research was an applied research based on goal and in terms of study type was quantitative and from the methodological view, was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population included 110 formal and contract staff of the University of Science and Culture at 2020-2021 that using stratified sampling method with proportional allocation, 86 of them were selected as the sample. To collect data from the two self-developed questionnaires of Abili and Mazari (2014) with a reliability of 0.92 and job performance with a reliability of 0.90, used, which is a combination of two questionnaires of Byrne et al (2005) and Conway (1999) is obtained. Examination of the research model showed that it fits well with the data. The results showed that self-development with a coefficient of 0.41 had an effect on employees' job performance. Also, self-development has had an effect on task performance with a coefficient of 0.30 and on field performance with a coefficient of 0.15. Also, the effect of four components of self-development on job performance was evaluated, which self-regulation and self-leadership with a coefficient of 0.17 and 0.28, respectively, had an effect on job performance. The hypothesis of the effect of self-management and self-directed learning components on job performance was rejected in this study.

The purpose of this study was to design a model for the development of managerial skills of managers with Grounded Theory method .The research method is descriptive in terms of applied purpose and in terms of data collection method, which was done with a cross-sectional survey approach. The validity of the research was determined by the three-way method, and its reliability was determined by the method of agreement between the coders. MAXQDA content analysis and software were used to analyze the qualitative data. Finally, 3 dimensions, 13 components and 65 indicators were finalized. Findings of the study showed that the dimensions of managers' managerial skills included individual dimension (self-awareness, stress management, effective problem solving management), interpersonal dimension (constructive communication skills, effective motivation skills, impact skills, conflict management skills) and group dimension (skills delegation, team skills, leadership skills for positive change, application of technology, application of management requirements). Based on the obtained findings, the proposed model has a relatively "acceptable" fit, and has been confirmed.
