Abstract :
The present study aims to develop a model for evaluating the performance of the faculty members of Islamic Azad Universities in East Azerbaijan Province. The research is a descriptive survey. The population consists of all members of the academic staff of East Azerbaijan Province totaling 1950 subjects in the academic year 2013-2014. The sample size was estimated 320 people based on Morgan’s table. For the selection of the sample, cluster- stratified proportional sampling method was used.By studying the research literature, the components of the evaluation model were exrtacted and the subcategories of each component of the model were identified separately. The research instrument inspired by the major and minor components was developed in the form of Likert scale questionnaire with 80 questions. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by face validity, and the reliability of the questionnaire was calculated 95 percent through the use of Cronbach’s Alpha. The results of the factor analysis showed that the seven components of professional commitment, research activities, professional development, teaching and training activities, consulting, administrative and scientific services, and political and social activities of the model were confirmed
