The statistical population was comprised of full-time faculty members at Razi University (N = 224). Simple random sampling method and Bartlett's table were used (n = 132).Validity of questioniare were calculated with a panel of experts and its reliability by Cronbach's alpha coefficients (0/83). In data analysis, mean and standard deviation and inferential statistical methods including factor analysis and stepwise regression analysis using SPSS14 software were used. Based on findings, Razi university faculties were not so satisfied from the existing quality of evaluation. The most important threatening factors of evaluation were strictness or leniency of the scoring, a serious failure of forms, and accuracy of students. Appropriate method and time of evaluation, competent persons for executing evaluation, and appropriate method of feedback were most important elements of evaluation quality system. The most important factors of evaluation of teaching quality in factor analysis were behaviors of professor, teaching management, personality characters, innovation in teaching, and ability of raising mentalities. Finally, a comprehensive model of teaching quality was presented. Manuscript profile -

In this way, various aspects of these issues were tried and presented with respect to the context of the institution of university in Iran. The present study was conducted within the framework of the qualitative approach and using grounded Theory research method. For data collection from participants, in-depth and informal interviews were used. Selection of information media of the research was done purposefully and using sampling strategies with maximum variation and theoretical sampling the research media included 19 faculty members of comprehensive universities in Tehran. Data analysis was performed in three stages of open, axial, and selective coding. According to the findings, the phenomenon of bullying in faculty members' relations in Iran's higher education has verbal and social dimensions (Phenomena). This phenomenon has arisen due to organizational and individual circumstances (Causal Conditions) and resulted in reactions such as avoidance, conflict (Strategy). These reactions have been affected by the responses of the authorities, the persistence and common beliefs (intervening conditions), structure and academic culture (context), resulting in occupational, personal, social and economic vulnerability(Consequences). The function of education in this context is defined in three levels of good teaching (based on individual experience), scholarly teaching (based on the integration of content knowledge and pedagogy), and the scholarship of teaching (Teacher Education Publishing). From the faculty point of view, according to the phenomenon of bullying, teaching processes based on personal experience are organized, teacher empowerment and dissemination programs are not foreseen.

The study population was included all the faculty members of Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman in academic year of 2017-2018, that were about 621 faculty members. Research sample was included 244 faculty members who were selected by multi-staged cluster sampling. The internal consistency of questionnaire was measured through Cronbach’s alpha and was estimated to be.86. In order to investigate the factor structure, the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used via AMOS 23 software. Data were analyzed by comparative and parsimony goodness-of-fit indices Results showed that the four factors of personal efficacy, interest, effort and outcome efficacy have a significant weight in explaining the construct of faculty members’ teaching motivation. Also, two subscales of personal efficacy: context and personal efficacy: general, have significant weights in defining the personal efficacy. Accordingly, after elimination of its six items, this questionnaire is a suitable instrument to measure the faculty members’ teaching motivation in Iranian higher education, and the factors of effort, interest, personal efficacy and outcome efficacy have the most effect in measuring their teaching motivation, respectively.

The participants were enrolled through the multistage stratified and convenience sampling methods until the theoretical saturation was reached. Data collection was done using questionnaires and documents. Data analysis was done using the open-coding table, central tendency of mode, and FAHP. The findings showed that there are more than 80 educational performance indicators for faculty evaluation, which can be used in faculty promotion and evaluation codes and forms, selection of the instructor of the year, etc. Due to the importance of these indicators, they were categorized into six groups from A to F and weighed based on two criteria, namely repeatability and vitality. A comparison of the current and desired status shows that more than half of the indicators used in the current instructor evaluation system are in the insignificant categories (E and F). Therefore, it is recommended to use indices with high importance factor (indices in categories A to D) in the faculty promotion and evaluation system. Manuscript profile -

The research population consisted of all faculty members at various branches of Islamic Azad University in East Azerbaijan province. The data collection instruments employed included two researcher-made questionnaires one initially designed as a five-point Likert scale to identify the factors affecting the promotion of human resource productivity in the university and the other desveloped subsequently based on paired comparisons required for fuzzy dimensional system approach. The questionnaires were validated in terms of their content and internal consistency and test-retest reliability estimates. Initially, the data obtained from the first questionnaire were statistically analysed through student t-test and the findings indicated five main factors that were perceived by the participating faculty members as effective in promoting the productivity of university human resources. Further, the second questionnaire was developed based on paired comparisons of the five identified factors and was distributed to the research sample. The findings emerging from DIMATEL systematic approach revealed creativity and innovation grounding, provision of targeted training and utilization of appropriate knowledge management strategies and practices as highly influential and influenceabl factors in the system under study. Targeted training was also identified as having a higher impact on other system factors. In addition, adherence to competency trends in personnel promotion as well as embracing creativity and innovation in the organization were identified as two factors highly influenced by others.
