Future developments of universities also depend on the competencies, innovations and professional development programs of faculty members. The present study aims to investigate the model and competencies of faculty members in the framework of qualitative approach and content analysis. The research population is composed of all the professors and higher education students in Iran’s universities. Sampling, similar to most sampling types in qualitative studies, is a purposive one, through a criterion and network sampling strategies. The number of informants, based on the principle of saturation in qualitative studies, is 23 who come from diverse universities and institutes. Semi- structured interviews were employed to gather the data, which subsequently were analyzed in several stages using the thematic analysis method. The validity of the analyses was ensured by peer audit and peer debriefing. Results indicated that the competencies of faculty members in six dimensions of educational, research, organizational, ethical, individual and professional competencies and 44 subspecialties were classified.

The present study was aimed at designing a model for professional development of e-learning instructors. The methodology of the research was applied to the purpose and the method of data collection was of a qualitative type which was performed using the data approach of the foundation with a Emergence approach (Glaser approach). The tool used was semi-structured interview and the statistical population of the faculty members was in the field of e-learning. Using a targeted sampling method, 22 of them were sampled and the data were saturated. Findings The study eventually comprised 659 open codes, 57 primary and 15 secondary categories. The results showed that for the development of faculty members, e-learning should focus on five main dimensions: the dimension of knowledge development (with 4 dimensions), skill development (with 3 dimensions), ability development (with 2 dimensions), development of attitude (with 3 dimensions) and development Features (with 3 dimensions).

The staff of the organization of registration of documents and real estate in order to increase productivity and especially reduce the waste of time and energy, as well as the use of high user levels and flexibility in receiving educational services are keen to use e-learning services, and this has led to the expansion of this type of training in the organization. Is. The present study has developed various aspects of the evaluation of the e-learning system based on the ECVAL model. The organization of registration of documents in view of the geographical dispersion of satellite organizations and the necessity of using this system have been studied in this study. The developed model consists of various indexes such as apparent standards, content, security, compatibility with virtual instruments, etc. To this end, a 3D questionnaire has been designed and distributed. In this questionnaire, questions were asked to evaluate employee satisfaction and distributed among 80 employees of this organization. The results of the evaluation and statistical analysis show that the apparent character is of the highest importance to the users, and the security issue is of low importance to them. Finally, executive suggestions were made to improve the quality of the e-learning system. Manuscript profile -

Literature Thematic analyze based on Creswell (2008) procedure and Callahan (2010) method has used for getting research goal. Research data has been scientific work about Human Resource Development include scientific article, paper, book chapter and conferences paper that published from 1990 to 2018. Criteria for choosing data has been theory building research in Human Resource Development, role of other scientific disciplines in Human Resource Development and theory development in Human Resource Development. Research data has been searched and selected in scientific databases. Data has included 183 article, paper and book chapter. In the next round articles and book chapters has studied and themes has extracted. Entirely 341 themes has extracted. The next step has been Coding, analyzing and recognizing the communicational model among the codes. The criteria for themes analyze has been Toulmin Intellectual Evolution Theory of Scientific Community (for identifying thinking Proceedings), Christopher Mabey Model (for identifying expectations from theory) and First Four Steps of Dubin’s Theory Building Model (for identifying HRD Functional framework in practice). The results include thinking Proceedings of theory building in Human Resource Development (Creating and Keeping Productivity, Increasing Productivity, Progressive Human, Progressive Institute, Creating Social Content), Expectations from Human Resource Development Theory in Practice (Instituting Development Thinking, Being in Adaption with Predominant Rationality, Being in Adaption with Diversity, Being Purposefully Synergic, Being Operative, Ethical Agency) and Functional framework Human Resource Development in Practice (Development Foundation, Development Approach, Development Methodology, Development Plan).

In this regard, the purpose of this research was to design a model for the development of human resources strategies at the level of private banks in the country using a mixed research method. The statistical population in the qualitative section included all available resources and documents in 278 cases, which was selected by systematic extra-systematic method of 141 sources. The participants in the quantitative section included 402 private key bankers who, based on the Morgan table, 196 were selected by stratified random sampling. In the qualitative section with exploratory approach, documents were examined in the framework of the method of the analysis of the subject. to collect information in a quantitive section, a researcher made questionnaire whose validity was calculated by Cronbach's alpha. The results of the first question was identification of 817 key propositions, 32 basic themes, 17 themes and 7 main themes including "strategic insight, strategic analysis, timely decision making, strategic culture, strategic leadership, strategic management of knowledge and strategic monitoring". Which was used to validate them (second question of research) from confirmatory factor analysis and structural equations. The results obtained after the removal of non-significant pathways indicated RMSEA (0.052), NFI, CFI, GFI (0.09), and Chi-square to degree of freedom is 3.14, which indicates the optimal fit of the model and the conformance of the conceptual model of the research to observed data.

This study was exploratory research and its methodology was developmental and applied research method. In terms of data collection was combined (quantitative and qualitative) research. The review documents and semi-structured interviews were used as data collection tools. In order to analyze the data, the content analysis for classifying method was used and interviews were conducted with 40 elite and specialists, who were selected purposefully. At the first stage, After extracting 212 barriers and removing repeated elements, 44 relevant concepts and contents classified into one of the three (structural, behavioral, environmental/context) dimensions of the model as a questionnaire. Through Lawshe content validity, 36 barriers were selected and reliability by 0.812 Cronbach coefficient alpha were confirmed. Thereafter, this obstacles were prioritized by Fuzzy Delphi method. At the third stage, it was examined how each barriers related legal, economic, political, administrative and environmental conditions influenced each other’s through ISM and MICMAC techniques. The results demonstrated that after international and national laws and legal issues, educational process was second effective item. Need assessment for different levels and stakeholders, lack of instructors familiar with the subject and lack of appropriate educational contents as the priority issues had been recognized.
