        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.

        The purpose of this study was to design a model for assessing key human resources competencies of Yazd executives. Accordingly, the study was mixed (quantitative – qualitative(Therefore, first, the synthesis method was used, then the Delphi technique was used to design the model, and finally, the quantitative method was used for validation. Due to the nature of the research, there are different sampling and sampling methods. The first part of the statistical population consists of all articles related to key human resource competencies, scientific documents and all specialists, academics and elites with relevant experience and expertise. The sample included 84 documents (45 internal sources and 39 external sources) selected by census method and in the second part 10 targeted individuals (saturation limit of 10 persons) using purposive sampling method were chosen.

Based on this, a questionnaire was prepared and then provided to the instructors and consultants and the questions were modified. The coefficient of agreement was 0.81 which was confirmed by 3 experts. The results showed that the components of key competencies of human resources in executive systems consist of 4 components including individual characteristics (36 indices), knowledge (16 indices), skills (23 indices) and value (36 indices( In the last step, using structural equation modeling, model validation was performed. The results indicate that the questionnaire data can be reduced to a number of underlying and fundamental factors. And the result of Bartlett test showed that the correlation matrix is not a single matrix and the same matrix and finally 4 factors (components) have higher than one specific value. These components include 4 components including individual characteristics, knowledge, skills and values. Manuscript profile

A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data. Validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by the experts and its reliability was calculated using Alpha coefficient of Kornbach .89. The data were analyzed in two levels of descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the research indicated that the faculty members' knowledge of the needs for research, educational, personal, organizational and ethical development was reported to be high. However, HRM has only been reported to meet the needs of the training professional development and has been reported at a disadvantage in addressing other needs. Therefore, the fundamental gap between the needs of faculty members' professional development and the HRM function is evident in meeting these needs. Such a gap reflects the need to modify and modify HRM procedures in the needs assessment and planning of professional development of Such a gap reflects the need to modify and modify HRM procedures in the needs assessment and planning of professional development of faculty members.faculty members.

        The aim of the present research is to put forward a model for Performance Coaching Competency regarding supervisors and managers in NIOC. This research is a heuristic inquiry with a pragmatic purpose wherein we have utilized the qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis approaches .Data analysis strategy in qualitative inquiry comprises literature content analysis, interview and Delphi survey questionnaires analyses, Moreover, purposive sampling is applied in qualitative research inquiries. The sample size, in literature based upon data saturation and semi-structured interview, were 12 subjects and in Delphi method were 20 subjects of experts, people in charge, and managers familiar with performance coaching in NIOC. The questionnaires face validity was obtained via pilot implementation, the interview reliability via Double-coded Agreement Coefficient .The sample size, in ANP Method were 20 subjects of experts. Key concepts in the literature and semi-structured interviews were primarily extracted and then combined into 16 components on common grounds. Delphi questionnaires in two stages and then ANP questionnaire were made and implemented respectively. The literature data and the interview analyses were done inductively via MAXQDA software, Delphi Questionnaires via SPSS, ANP Questionnaire via MATLAB (for measuring the weight and importance of the dimensions and indicators) and Super Decision (for investigating the relation between dimensions and indicators and their mutual influence). Data analyses resulted in recommending a model for performance coaching which comprises 15 components and 56 indicators in three dimensions, namely: individual, organizational, and managerial; while expressing the ranking among indicators and their internal influence.
