Abstract :

The great researchers (Draker, Tarou, Taffler, …) believe that the key to superiority in the competitions of  the 21st century and the 3rd millennium is the valuable innovationes whose creators are not just a small number of the elite of the societies and organizations, but they also include a great majority of the population and the organizations’ staff. Accurate expert estimates show that 60% of the income and 90% of the profit of some large companies result from such innovations. The importance of human resource as a factor of competitive superiority is so great that the contribution of the invisible assets (of which the human resource is one of the most important components) in the stock markets of the organizations is following a progressive and steady route. The present article is an academic research project which tries to show the important role of the man power in the educational environments and to determine the valuable indices in evaluating the university personnel, and ultimately, after presenting a framework of elevation indices for each vice-chancellor and other personnel, and by using the best methed for evaluating the human factors (360 degree method), it states the strong and weak points of each member of the personnel. Determining the framework for evaluation indices is the most important stage of this project which requires defining the comprehensive and all-embracing factors for evaluatig the personnel in such a way that no personality trait escapes notice. We hope that , by presenting the strong and weak points of the university personnel , it will be possible to take positive steps in elevating the  educational and pedagogical level and providing better services for the university students in the future.
