The present study, therefore, makes an attempt to investigate the factors and dimensions of this malfunctioning in education through a qualitative content analysis. The research population is composed of all the professors and post graduate students in Iran’s state universities. Sampling, similar to most sampling types in qualitative studies, is a purposive one. It was done through a criterion and network sampling strategies. The number of informants, based on the principle of saturation in qualitative studies, is 28 who come from diverse universities and institutes including Kharazmi University, ShaheedBeheshti University, Tehran University, Tarbiyat-e Modarres University, Shareef Technical University, Tabriz University, Mashhad University and The Institute of Research and Planning for Higher Education. Unstructured interviews were employed to gather the data, which subsequently were analyzed in several stages using the thematic analysis method. The validity of the analyses was ensured by peer audit and peer debriefing. Results indicated that the instances of higher education malfunctioning can be categorized into 10 major groups which include 36 sub-categories.Previous studies have claimed that Iran’s higher education sector has failed to fulfill its intended functions effectively leading to a malfunctioning.

Data collection tools are three questionnaires, including: Organizational Justice Questionnaire, Organizational Commitment Questionnaire& Job Satisfaction Questionnaire. The reliability of the questionnaires is as follows: Organizational justice: 93%, Organizational Commitment: 94% & Job satisfaction: 95%.

Research method was descriptive – correlation and all of Secondary school teachers were made the population of study which 220 of them were selected via stratified sampling method. To collect the data, standardizes scales was used and data analyzed through hierarchical linear modeling (HLM).Results shows that organizationally directed misbehavior is partially spread through social information in that the relationship between the work group’s ODM and the focal individual’s ODM was partially mediated by all three forms of social information. The work group’s ODM creates social information (direct observation, indirect knowledge and prevalence of these behaviors) that is perceived by other members of the work group. That social information is positively related to the ODM of a focal group member. Interpersonally directed misbehavior is spread through direct observation and prevalence of IDM as the IDM of the work group and the focal individual was fully mediated by these two types of social information but not by the indirect knowledge of IDM. Taken together, these findings indicate that the work group’s misbehavior creates social information (direct observation, indirect knowledge and prevalence of these behaviors) that is perceived by other members of the work group. That social information is positively related to the misbehavior of a focal group member.This paper examines the transmission or contagion of organizational misbehavior (OMB) among school’s teachers.

The sample population consisted of 105 of the senior secondary school principals of both boys’ and girls’ schools. A questionnaire consisting of 60 items of the components of job involvement, locus of control, organizational commitment, self-efficacy and metacognition was used and was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha. The results showed that the evaluation of variables that determine orientation to self-development of leadership among the school principals were significantly higher than the average. The propensity of female principals was significantly higher than that of their male counterparts and the inexperienced compared to experienced principals had greater propensity to leadership self-efficacy. The relationship between motivational factors such as locus of control, job involvement, organizational commitment and that of self-regulatory skills such as metacognition, self-efficacy, and motivation was meaningful. Finally, the model used in this study was confirmed by path analysis.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between motivational, self-regulatory factors and the demographic variables with the propensity of Sanandaj school principal’s self-development leadership attributes.

The research method is descriptive and the research population includes all senior high school students in theoretical (n=548) technical and professional (n=240) and applied (n=125) disciplines. According to the chorines test, the numbers of 109, 51, and 36 were respectively selected for the research sample out of each center through simple random sampling. To collect the data researcher made questionnaires based on McClelland (1963) and Holt (2002) were used.The instruments include the scales of motivation to progress, independence, and tendency to creativity risk taking, in eternal control, ambiguity tolerance, team work, and foresight. The content validity of the questionnaire was affirmed by experts. In addition to estimate the internal consistency among the questions, Chronbachs’alpha was used. The results were analyzed through one way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Findings indicated that there is a significant difference between the entrepreneurship factors among the students of the three disciplines. The least difference belonged to the students in the theoretical and technical and professional branches, and there was significant difference between the students of these two branches in the factors of risk taking, independence, team work and foresight but there was not a significant difference in factors of motivation to progress, tendency to creativity, internal controls and ambiguity tolerance. The highest level of difference belonged to the applied branch. Also this branch had the highest score of the entrepreneurship factors.The present study aims at comparing the entrepreneurship factors among the fourth grade high school students in Delfan in the academic year of 1393- 94.
