        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

        This study investigated the effect of knowledge management on human resource development in Tehran Municipality Region 4 to provide practical suggestions for increasing the capabilities of human capital in the organization through knowledge management. The literature review identified four components consisting of identifying, acquiring, developing and sharing for knowledge management concept and four components consisting of attitude, knowledge, behavior and skill for human resource development concept. Following the positivism philosophy, deductive (quantitative) approach, and the survey method, a questionnaire (consisting of 45 questions) was used to collect field data. Face and content validity of the questionnaire were confirmed through selecting a standard questionnaire and submitting it to the experts, construct validity through confirmatory factor analysis and reliability through Cronbach's alpha coefficient (0.91). The number of population including undergraduate, graduate and managers of the organization, was 1,100 and the sample volume of 285 randomly selected. Data normality through the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and relationships between variables and conceptual models through Pearson correlation and structural equation model approved. It turned out that knowledge management plays a significant role in the development of human resources (The correlation coefficient: 0.875; load factor: 0.81). It also became clear that identifying, acquiring, developing and sharing knowledge have impact on the development of knowledge, attitudes, behaviors and skills of human capital. As a result, one of the expected outcomes of knowledge management system can be development of human capital in all dimensions. Also, it can be concluded that one of the tools of human resource development is the establishment of a knowledge management system. Manuscript profile

        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

        This research is prepared to present a structural model for personal development in TCI. Personal development is an effective procedure in developing and empowering managers in a systematic way. Methods: The descriptive research method is correlational in which the correlations between the components are examined. The research community consists of 220 TCI managers selected using random sampling and another 140 selected from Morgan Table. We collected the relevant data using a personal development questionnaire for managers with reliability of 0.96. Of the components, 16 in three dimensions of development is reviewed including “the effective factors in personal development” and “actions performed in personal development” and “managers’ individual competencies”. Conclusion: Results extracted from LISREL and “structural equations modeling analysis” demonstrated that structural model for development of managers consists of “three dimensions in personal development”, “the processes and actions in personal development” and “the managers’ individual competencies” in TCI. Each dimension has its set of components and the model has suitable fitness. Consequently, managers’ personal development was examined with a systematic structure. Additionally, the effective individual factors have an influence on process and actions with a path coefficient of 0.37. Process and actions have an influence on individual competencies with a path coefficient of 0.17. The relationship between the components is indicative of a clear process and a correlation so that factors effective in the process and actions will have an influence on individual competencies. The validity of model will be approved using structural equations and quantitative relationships between dimensions of model. Manuscript profile
