        The current study aimed to identify talent development mechanisms in Iranian electric industry applying a mixed method approach. In qualitative phase, statistical population included academic informants and electric industry’s human resource managers and talents from whom 19 people were purposefully selected and profoundly interviewed. The collected qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis technique and its validity was confirmed applying member checking, data source triangulation and peer debriefing techniques. In quantitative phase, statistical population consisted of 279 talents from which 134 people were selected randomly as a sample using levy and lemeshaw (1981) formula. Data was collected applying researched- administered questionnaire which contain 56 questions. Structural equation modeling with partial least squares (PLS) approach was used to analyses the collected data. So, in order to do second order confirmatory factor analysis, Smart-PLS3 was utilized. Finally, findings obtained from thematic analysis showed that the main talent development mechanisms in Iranian electric industry were categorized into Internal/external organizational sessions, vertical career path, horizontal career path, self- development, coaching, succession planning, training, performance management, job design techniques, team working, learning by doing, knowledge sharing, and networking. Results of one sample t- test indicated that all identified mechanisms were evaluated adequately by electric industry’s talents. Furthermore, confirmatory factor analysis’ results showed that all observable and latent variables’ factor loading were above 0.70 and were confirmed at 0.01 levels. In other words, the 13 mechanisms identified in qualitative phase can be considered as the fundamental factors of talent development and it can be predicted applying them Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this study was to providing SEM of leadership self-development for University of Tehran managers. Accordingly, the present study has focused on the self-development of academic leadership. For this purpose, descriptive-correlation method was used. Structural equation modeling and LISREL software were used to analyzed. The statistical population of the study included 524 university managers of Tehran University. In order to collect the research sample by using proportional stratified sampling method, 217 university managers were selected using Morgan table. The purpose of this study was to study the managers of departments, deputies and heads of faculties, general, deputies and president of universities. A researcher-made questionnaire with reliability (α = 0.97) was used to collect data, which evaluated 56 components in 112 questions. The results of SEM showed that individual contextual factors (γ = 0.97) influenced the self-development process of academic leaders. The self-development process (β = 0.92) also influenced the self-development strategies. Strategies also influenced self-development achievements (β = 0.91). However, in the present study, organizational context factors (γ = 0.09) did not influence the process of academic leaders' self-development, although in many studies the role of organizational contextual factors as an organizational readiness for self-development has been effective.

        Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to design and explain the professional development model of the departments chairs of the University of Tehran based on a Lean approach. Method: This research was carried out in two qualitative and quantitative stages, using the mixed exploratory research method. The qualitative part of the research was done in two stages. In the first stage of the qualitative section, the existing research background related to the components of professional development of department heads based on a lean approach in Persian and English between 2000 and 2020 was reviewed. After searching, screening and qualitative evaluation of the studies, the final synthesis was performed on 72 studies. In the second stage of the qualitative section, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 experts and experts in the field of higher education who were purposefully selected to identify the appropriate pattern of the context of the University of Tehran. Qualitative data analysis was performed using open and axial coding (theme analysis) and its reliability and validity were evaluated. In the quantitative stage, the descriptive-analytical research method and the statistical population included all the managers of the departments of the University of Tehran with 252 people who using Cochran's sampling formula, 152 people were selected as the sample. Sampling method in this study was stratified random sampling method. In the quantitative part, the required data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire. To evaluate the validity of the quantitative research instrument, content validity and construct validity were used and to evaluate the reliability of the instrument, Cronbach's alpha was used, which confirmed the appropriate reliability and validity of the research instrument.
