        Abstract The aim of the present research was to present the professional identity model of secondary school principals based on learning culture and the mediating role of professional development. This applied research and descriptive method of correlation is of the type of causal modeling (structural equation modeling). The statistical population in the quantitative section was all principals of secondary schools in Kermanshah city, who were selected by available sampling. To collect the data, a researcher-made questionnaire of professional identity and two standard questionnaires of learning culture and professional development were used. The validity of the content and instruments of the questionnaires, the verification and reliability of the questionnaires were obtained as 0.89, 0.79 and 0.83, respectively. The findings showed that learning culture has a positive and direct effect on professional identity with a beta coefficient (β = 0.552) at a significant level (P>0.05); Professional development has a positive and direct effect on professional identity with a beta coefficient (β = 0.324) at a significant level (P>0.05); Learning culture has a positive and direct effect on professional development with a beta coefficient (β = 0.553) at a significant level (P>0.05); Also, the learning culture has an effect on professional identity with the beta coefficient (β = 0.194) at a significant level (P>0.05) through the mediating role of professional development. Thus, it can be concluded that the source of managers' influence is their professional identity; The use of this model enables the leaders of the educational system to hire more competent, efficient and effective people to accept serious responsibility and The fateful choice of secondary school management. Also, reflecting on the professional identity causes the personal development and professionalization of managers and enables them to clarify their professional goals and how to achieve them and influence the shaping of their career path.
