Development of social capital as a macro-policy in higher education may result from high quality human resource training. Educational systems can provide quality training opportunities, laying the groundwork for people to get involved in social events. In this respect, various theoretical conceptions of training qualification should be, however, taken into consideration. In recent decades, the relevance and development of quality training or social capital development has been a theoretical conception influencing Human Resource training quality. Thus, the present paper explores this idea, using a descriptive, analytical, qualitative approach. Analysis of social capital and its relation to the quality of educational skills, which is required for human resources, can be regarded as a genuine policy in promoting higher education quality. Finally, it can be claimed that wise policies in higher education is a prerequisite for offsetting cultural and economic aspects. Manuscript profile

managers, especially human resource managers, are recognized as the most important guides in development programs and they can do this in a desirable way if they, themselves have the learning spirit and have a documentary individual planning for development and excellence. In our country, despite the attention to the development of managers in different fields, the approach of determining how to implement this development is not very relevant in terms of the specific competencies associated with the organizational domain and business environment and this issue has also been neglected in the banking system. The purpose of this research was to provide a pattern of the individual development plan for HR managers of the banking industry and to explain the components of the development plan and the relationships between them. To provide this framework, the literature and background, models, views and research on the individual development plan were widely studied and the primary pattern was designed, using the results of this step. Then, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 senior HR managers in the banking system, and the data were analyzed by using the software analysis (QSR Nvivo). In the following, A group interview was conducted in the form of a focus group with six human resource specialists in the banking industry and professors in this field to validate the proposed framework. Finally, in order to validate and prioritize these components, distribution of the questionnaire has been considered among 32 high-ranking HR managers of the banking system as another step of research. In the presented pattern in this study, the influential factors (strategy, culture and organizational texture), success factors (organizational requirements, design requirements and individual requirements), and Results (cognitive, attitude, skill and performance) are as the components of the individual development planning. Also, expected competencies and competency-based dimensions and how implementation of development measures for the HR managers of the banking industry are identified. Manuscript profile

Education is a very complex and sensitive issue, and the sustainability of a society depends largely on the efficiency and effectiveness of the education system. If the education system can properly fulfill its mission of individual and social development, it will also provide a favorable environment for cultural, economic, political and social development in society. It goes without saying that a great deal of the complexity and sensitivity of the education system goes back to the competencies of senior education managers. One of the challenges of HRM in organizations, especially in education, is how to select and promote managers. In this regard, the evaluation process process is used as a guideline for evaluating and effectively developing competencies in workplace-like conditions. Therefore, the present study was designed to identify the competencies of higher education managers and to present managers' competency models for use in evaluation centers.
