        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. Results: The results showed that the professional development of the managers of the departments of the University of Tehran based on a lean approach has five main components (1. Lean leadership / management skills, 2. Lean student skills, 3. Lean research skills, 4. Lean behavioral skills and 5. Skills Lean individual) and 19 indicators. The results of the second-order confirmatory factor analysis showed that the five identified components have a sufficient factor load to predict the professional development of department heads of the University of Tehran based on a lean approach. The results of one-sample t-test showed that the managers of the departments of the University of Tehran evaluated the general situation of their professional development based on a lean approach at a moderate level. Conclusion:The five main components of this research can be an effective model for the professional development of department heads in university of Tehran and have beneficial results in promoting quality, efficiency, effectiveness and waste reduction in university of Tehran.

        The aim of this study was to design and explain the model of promoting the professional development of senior managers in the Iranian telecommunications industry. For this purpose, the exploratory mixed research method was used. In the qualitative section, in order to be aware of the main components of the research, semi-structured interviews with 17 senior managers of the telecommunications industry and faculty members of the university who potentially had more information about the professional development of managers. By analyzing the information through systematic coding method, the findings were identified as 5 main components including "individual maturity, organizational maturity, educational maturity, research maturity and professional maturity" and 25 sub-factors. In the quantitative part of the research and based on qualitative findings, a researcher-made questionnaire was designed and administered on a sample of 172 senior managers who were selected using the non-probability sampling method. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by four experts and its reliability was calculated by Chronbach’s alpha with a coefficient of / 876. Indicates the coherence of the questions and the significant lack of dispersion between them. Data were analyzed by confirmatory factor analysis using AMOS software. The results confirmed the dimensions of the extracted model. Finally, the current situation of professional development of senior managers in each of the dimensions of the model was studied, which according to the results, it was found that there is a significant difference between all calculated means and the hypothetical average. Calculating the difference between the means also showed that research maturity and professional maturity have a negative difference and senior managers of Iran's telecommunications industry have a significantly lower-than average level of growth that should be in the program. Educational considerations to be considered. Manuscript profile

        The present research aims to conduct a pathological study of Human Resource Training in higher education and, thereby, proceed to codify and validate a model for it. The methodology was practical and developmental. A combined sequential exploratory (heuristic) method of the modelling type was utilized for data collection. Drawing from multiple data synchronization in two stages, a primary theoretical framework was codified and, accordingly, it was validated in the form of a model. For the pathology of the staffing system, the first stage, qualitative case study was used according to which the perspectives and experiences of 11 experts, managers and specialists were taken into account with a purposeful approach through theoretical saturation criterion. It should be noted that semi-structured interview was utilized at this stage and the gathered data were analyzed by drawing from Thematic Analysis technique. At the second stage, applied a survey method and the components extracted from an ascertained questionnaire given to 98 staffing managers and experts in public universities under supervision of Tehran Ministry of Science, Research and Technology were analyzed based on a relative class sampling method. In order to analyze the gathered data and validate the codified framework, partial least squares analysis was utilized by drawing from Smart PLS software. After coding the data derived from analysis of documents and interviews, 215 codes were defined and categorized as 34 components and 14 perspectives as follows: jobs and Competency analysis, Need assessment, Design and planning, Implementation of training, Evaluation and monitoring, Transfer of training, systematic, Knowledge and experience management, Human resource culture, Upstream laws and documents, Finance and budget, orientation and awareness, Organizational and human resources structure and technology. According to identified defects, the pathological model for staffing system in universities was codified and validated. Evaluation and monitoring, Design and planning and Transfer of training as variables played the highest role (coefficient of determination calculated to be 0.83, 0.79 and 0.79 respectively) while Knowledge and experience management, Upstream laws and documents and Finance and budget factors (coefficient of determination calculated to be 0.41, 0.49 and 0.51 respectively) had the lowest role in determining the pathological model of the Training system.
