After reviewing the content by experts, the validity of the questionnaire was also confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis, internal consistency and Cronbach's alpha (0.83). For date analysis in the qualitative part of oper, axial and selective coding based on the Granded Theory. For data analysis in the quantitative part based on confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling.
Findings: Theoretical model consisting of seven components and six effective factors was presented.In examining the current situation among the components, continuous evaluation and audience knowledge; And among the factors, the interference of scientific political attitudes and policymaking and strategic planning had the greatest contribution in affecting the application of humanities.
