          Abstract The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between organizational socialization and role outputs of novice teachers. 293 teachers in Tehran who had 0 to 5 years teaching experience were all selected as sample in 1390. To collect data, Jone's questionnaire of organizational socialization and role outputs questionnaires were used.  To obtain the validity of the questionnaire, the experts' views were asked and the reliability was calculated as 0.73 using Cronbach alpha. To describe the data we used descriptive statistics (median, mean, Percentage, etc.) and to analyze the data we used inferential statistics (Pearson correlation coefficient). The SPSS software was also used for data analysis. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between role outputs of teachers and organizational socialization, a positive relationship between organizational socialization and role Orientation, and a negative relationship between role conflict and role ambiguity and organizational socialization. These results indicated the importance of socialization in educational centers. The necessity of this process is more felt when it will lead to the ultimate goal of an educational system that is students learning. Manuscript profile

        Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate the social effect of crisis management on decision-making of managers in IAU, region 8. It is believed that this way can provide managers with better strategies to improve both the quality of their work and their decision-making in social crisis. The method of this research is descriptive surveying. 110 out of all 146 managers in region 8 of IAU were randomly selected, and a researcher-made questionnaire with two sections was used for the purpose of data collection. The first section included general information about managers, such as their gender, marital status, educational degree, job background, and management experience. The second section included 33 researcher-made questions. The results of data analysis revealed that there was a significant relationship between identifying (and controlling) social crises and decision-making by managers. Also, there is a meaningful relationship between decision-making and preventing crisis. Accordingly, it has been suggested that managers can be prepared to cope with social crisis through following ways: increasing their social information, raising their management awareness, attending scientific seminars about crisis management, appropriate use of instructional technology, employing experienced managers with certificates in the fields of identifying and managing crises, using the social experience of well-experienced managers, and improving the social conditions.

Data analysis was done through Pearson's coefficient correlation and polygamist coefficient regressions and the results were as follows:  organizational justice variable is not able to predict organizational commitment. There is a significant relation between organizational justice and job satisfaction. On the other hand, there are significant relationships between job satisfaction and organizational justice dimensions out of which only procedural justice can predict job satisfaction.

        Abstract This study aimed at investigating the effect of teacher-centered supervision on improving learning Chemistry II. To achieve this aim, a sample of 80 male high school students (at level 2) in Qom who had chemistry course besides their Chemistry teachers participated in this study. They were selected through cluster sampling and were divided equally to 4 groups (2 as control and 2 others as experimental groups). To test the effect of 3-atep circulatory process of teacher-centered supervision on the experimental group, compared with the control group, the quasi-experimental method (pretest-posttest) was r used. At the end of experiment (after 2 months) the researcher-made posttest was given to subjects of each group and then the data was collected.  The collected data underwent SPSS analysis and the results showed significant differences between control and experimental groups at 0.05 level of significance. That is, the circulatory process of teacher-centered supervision used by Chemistry teachers had such a significant effect on the students learning that can be recommended for improving the quality of both teacher training and students learning.

          Abstract The purpose of the current research was to investigate the relationship between leadership styles and conflict management strategies of high school principals. This was a descriptive research and a correlational one. 102 high school principals participated in this study. They were selected out of 141 through simple random sampling. Two questionnaires he purpose of data collection: (a) Bass & Avolio's Leadership Style (2000) and (b) Putnam and Wilson's Conflict Management (1994). Content validity of questionnaires was confirmed by experts and their reliability was calculated through Cronbach’s alpha coefficient accounting as 0.84 and 0.85 respectively. Pearson's Correlation, step by step Regression, and Independent T were used for data analysis. The results of research showed a meaningful correlation coefficient between transformational and transactional leadership styles and solution– oriented strategy, and also between laissez–faire leadership style with control and non–intervention strategy. But no meaningful relationship was observed between transformational and transactional leadership styles and control and non– intervention strategy, and also between laissez–faire leadership style with solution–oriented strategy. The best anticipation for non–intervention is strategy laissez–faire leadership style, solution oriented strategy transformational leadership style and control strategy in first step and laissez–faire leadership style and transactional leadership style in the second step.   Manuscript profile

          Abstract The aim of this study was to predict the job involvement of IAU faculty members, Roudehen Branch, based on their philosophical mind-set. The main issue of this study is to answer the question whether philosophical mind-set has any role in determining job involvement. The research method used in this study was based on the assumptions of correlation studies. Two questionnaires of philosophical mind-set and job involvement (5-degree Likert Scale) were used for the purpose of data-collection. 130 faculty members, selected based on a stratified random sampling, proportional to population size (study group) participated in this study. The results showed that 19 percent of the variance in job involvement could be explained by the philosophical mind-set. To write formulas, the standardized coefficients and non-standardized coefficients were both used and the result is as follows: Philosophical mindset × .0224 + 394/8 = stuck in Job (not standard coefficients) Philosophical mindset × 0/435 J= stuck in ob standard coefficients) Manuscript profile

The results of data analysis indicated that there was a positive relationship between organizational justice and organizational citizenship behavior (P< .0.1). In addition, results from stepwise regression revealed only the loyalty component could predict organizational justice. The results of t-test also showed a significant difference between the employee’s genders. And finally, results of one-way ANOVA indicated that the difference between organizational justice and the education level, that was actually a demographic variable, was significant.
