The purpose of the present study was to identify the components of the development of managers with a fundamentally based data approach and pattern design. The research method is descriptive survey with mixed approach. In the qualitative section, the targeted sampling approach and the use of snowball techniques and the application of theoretical saturation criterion were used in semi-structured interviews with 14 founders, famous nongovernmental schools. The reliability of the interview resulted in an agreement between the two coders, 86.9%. The interview texts were analyzed using maxqda software and open coding. A small portion of society was selected by all non-governmental high school principals in the academic year 2016-17 (510, members). With the help of Cochran formula, 218 managers were selected by random sampling method. The implementation of the quantitative part was done using a researcher made questionnaire based on the results of the qualitative section. Validity and reliability of research tools were optimum. Qualitative findings are based on data analysis in the basis of data and quantitative findings using descriptive indexes, exploratory factor analysis, and verifying structural equations. The overall results of the research indicate three sub-components that account for 49.34% of the variance of managers development. The following components of the development of managers: the creation of learning and development opportunities with coefficient of 0.53 and the separation of financial issues from education with a coefficient of 0. 56 and encouraging managers in their improvement with a coefficient of 0.48 in explaining the variance of developmental structures.

The main objective of this study is designing and explaining of professional learning community model in higher education system. Transformational leadership, organizational culture, organizational structure, and professional learning community instruments were executed on 226 faculty members (from 351 faculty members) of colleges of management of public universities of Tehran in the year 1393-94. The sampling method was two-stage cluster sampling method and then targeted available. Analysis showed accepted reliability and validity for instruments. This research used correlation method. The structural equation method contained one exogenous latent construct transformational leadership; and 3 endogenous latent constructs organizational culture, organizational structure, and professional learning community. The study demonstrated transformational leadership had significant and direct effect on organizational culture (γ=0/61), on organizational structure (γ=0/82), on professional learning community (γ=0/39), indirect and significant effect of organizational culture on organizational structure (β=-0/08), and direct and significant effect of organizational culture on professional learning community (β=0/72), and nonsignificant effect of organizational structure on professional learning community. Results showed transformational leadership that is idealized influence, inspirational motivation, individualized consideration, had direct effect on organizational culture i.e. solidarity and fixation, and communication patterns, and on organizational structure i.e. organic, and clearness of hierarchical organizational, and high supervision and control, and on professional learning community that is collective responsibility for student's learning, collaboration focused on professional learning. And so organizational culture had direct effect on professional learning community and also both of two constructs had direct effects on formation of university as professional learning community.

The present study aimed to study the effective factors on humanities develop-ment management with data based theory. The test of these factors was done in current situation of higher education in Iran. For this purpose, the research was carried out by descriptive – measurement method and mixed approach in qualitative and quantitative sections successively. To interview in the qualitative section, 14 clear – sighted people from the community were selected by using purposive sampling method and. in the quantitative section, 245 faculty members of governmental and Payame Noor Universities in Isfahan were selected by simple randomly method (Statistical population: 670 people). The validity of questions of semi - structured interview and the researcher made questionnaire by content and simultaneous method and its reliability were determined respectively by agreement coefficient method (90/04) and by Cronbach's alpha coefficient (0.87). Qualitative data was analyzed by data based analyzing method and quantitative data was analyzed by descriptive indicators and Multiple Regression method. General results of study showed that nine major and 32 minor factors are effective on main subject of this research that can be explained by cause, background and intermediate conditions.
