        The purpose of this study is to design and validate a questionnaire on the competency model of educational administrators of executive organizations. The research method was descriptive which was conducted in two phases of design and validity and reliability of the questionnaire in 2019. CVR and CVI coefficients were used to evaluate the content validity. According to the obtained CVRs, out of 115 indicators, 21 were removed and 94 were selected to continue the study. Also, its reliability was determined using the method of calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient and intra-cluster correlation index. In the present study, the content validity index was 0.736 which is an acceptable number for this questionnaire. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was also 0.979 the intra-cluster correlation index was 0.997, which indicates the stability of reliability and high reproducibility of the questionnaire. Based on the results of the questionnaire 94 approved indicators in three main categories related to technical-professional competencies (including subcategories of skills: training needs assessment, educational planning, training implementation, training effectiveness evaluation, educational leadership and knowledge management ability), General competencies (including subcategories of competencies: individual, personality and morality and intelligence) and managerial competencies (including subcategories: organizational commitment, goal orientation, responsibility, team building, communication skills, analytical thinking, strategic thinking, flexibility Acceptability, foresight, creative thinking and systemic thinking) were divided. All of them have good validity and reliability for examining the competencies of the educational directors of the executive organizations of East Azerbaijan province Manuscript profile

        The present study was conducted with the aim of assessing the learning organization and examining its deployment in the Azerbaijan Regional Electricity Company. The research method was descriptive-survey. The statistical population is all the employees with 1307 people in three provinces (East Azerbaijan, West Azerbaijan and Ardabil). The statistical sample was determined through Morgan table with 297 people and selected by stratified random sampling. The instrument used in this study is the Dimensions of Learning Organization Questionnaire (DLOQ) by Watkins& Marsick. The content and construct validity of this questionnaire also its reliability was confirmed. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS20 and Smart-PLS 3 software. The results showed that the learning organization and its components individual learning (create continuos learning opportunities and promote inquiry and dialogue), group learning (encouraging collaboration and team learning), organizational learning (creating systems to capture and sharing learning, empower people towards a collective insight, connect the organization to its environment, and provide strategic leadership for learning) was significantly lower than average and only the level of dialogue and research in the organization are intermediate. Also using structural equation modeling with the least Partial squares provided a model for the learning organization in order to evaluating its components relationship. The results showed that the model has a strong utility (GOF = 0.813). As a result, it achieves the goals and strategies of the Azerbaijan Regional Electrice Company in being a learning path.

        Critical thinking, as one of the types of human thinking, is necessary for people at higher education levels. Past studies have reported the extent of critical thinking of students of different university levels low. This research aimed to compare the critical thinking of Ph.D. students in different fields. The research method was causal-comparative. The statistical population was 1210 Ph.D. students in different fields at Tabriz Islamic Azad University. The sample size was estimated 212 people by Cochran's method. The sampling method was multi-stage cluster sampling. Data were collected through form B of the California Critical Thinking Skills Test and were analyzed using t-mean comparison and analysis of variance tests. Based on the findings, the mean score of critical thinking of Ph.D. students in the Tabriz branch is 18.81± 5.36. The critical thinking score was highest in the humanities faculty, 19.81±5.54, and it was lowest in the technical-engineering faculty, 17.04±5.19. The mean score of critical thinking in the Agriculture Faculty was lower than the Humanities faculty and higher than the Technical Faculty, 18.25±5.36. There was no significant difference between students of different fields in critical thinking, inference, and induction. However, there was a significant difference in analysis, evaluation, and induction components. Although younger students had more powerful analyses power and older students had more powerful inference power, there were no significant differences between the age groups of students in critical thinking. There were significant differences between men’s and women’s critical thinking, analysis, evaluation, and deduction skills. Women’s critical thinking, analysis, evaluation, and deduction skills were better than men’s. It is better to organize workshops on critical thinking skills for students (with priority for technical-engineering faculty) and ways to strengthen it for university professors. Manuscript profile

        The present study was conducted in 2020 with the aim of designing a productivity evaluation model of Islamic Azad University of the province of East Azarbaijan. A qualitative research of the grounded Theory was carried out. The statistical population of the study included professors and staffs of the Islamic Azad University of Tabriz. Observing the rule of theoretical sampling and theoretical saturation, 25 participants were selected as sample members by non-random sampling method. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and a systematic approach Strauss and Corbin were coded in three stages,open, axial and selective. 943 open codes and 144 axial codes were extracted. For factors affecting productivity, 649 open codes and 35axial codes were extracted and two strategies of member review and valuable external review of the research was used by performing the ratio test, because the calculated average (4.21) at the level of 99 % confidence (α=0.01) is Larger than average reviews (3) was therefore confirmed the validity of the overall model. Also, the calculated average of all model dimensions at 95% confidence level (α=0.05), was obtained larger than the theoretical average and the validity of all dimensions of the model was confirmed. Results showed that productivity evaluation indicators of university include: education, research, student, culture and credits. The university officials can reach to productivity by considering individual, organizational and ultra organizational factors and at the same time by removing processing barriers with some main policies within and outside of the organization.
