Thus, the study went on to identify those training courses which failed, how this failure took place and what repercussions occurred and then to design the process of the justification model. Participants of this study consisted of those teachers who had participated in development courses. These participants were 23 teachers from Khorasan Razavi Province, selected purposefully on the basis of data saturation. This study was conducted within qualitative approach using grounded theory method. In order to gather the sine quo non data, semi-structured interviews were used. Afterwards, the interviews were recorded and transcribed. To analyze the gathered narrative data, Strauss and Corbin's method came to help. Consequently, two core phenomena, namely Learning and Learning Transfer emerged which emanated from contextual conditions such as learners, trainers, content, facilities and equipment, time and space, evaluation and feedback. These two phenomena culminated in outcomes which can be categorized as "consequences for Teachers" (such as negative attitude towards training, wastage of time, lack of quality teaching) and "Consequences for Students" (such as disorder and congestion, facing the same old stereotypical methods, lack of updated knowledge, apathy and monotony). At the end, to validate the emerged paradigm, the following criteria were applied: appropriateness (member check), comprehensiveness (member check), understanding (external audit and member check), and clarity (process description).

In all total models for organizational excellence, it has given a high share to increase knowledge, training and personnel development as an important and effective enabler of the personnel and organization performance. In order to increase knowledge and development on human resources, most of the leading organizations have invested broadly due to the importance, contribution and the role of the human resources knowledge, attitude and ability in the performance of personnel and organization. Environmental developments and challenges show that success in competition field specially, world competition, largely take effect from knowledgeable, skilled and enabled human resources. The organizational human resources development is mutual commitment among personnel and organizations. Based on the mutual commitment, personnel with doing assigned duties obtain certain rights such as continuous development opportunity. Despite the importance and value of human resources development in the success of institutes and communities, some organizations and institutes specially, in recession conditions shirk from long term employment of personnel and their development. In this situation, human resources in national and international scales are deprived to show their abilities and talents.
