The statistical population included experts in the field of educational flourishing and senior managers of the Education Department of Semnān Province in 2023. A total of 20 participants were selected through purposive sampling based on the principle of theoretical saturation. The research instruments consisted of semi-structured interviews and analysis of the documents related to this topic. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The data analysis resulted in the identification of 323 basic themes, 63 first-level organizing themes, and 15 second-level organizing themes related to the flourishing of the education system. These were categorized into four overarching themes:1. Flourishing at the ministry of education level: This included four organizing themes: policymaking and leadership, human resource management, economic conditions, and organizational structure, 2. Flourishing at the provincial education department level: This encompassed three organizing themes: leadership, professional development centers, and administrative staff and experts, 3. School-level flourishing: This included four organizing themes: individual flourishing, professional flourishing, organizational flourishing, and literacy of principals and teachers, and 4. Curriculum-level flourishing: This consisted of four organizing themes: skill-based curricula, future-oriented curricula, curricula based on the citizenship rights, and curricula focused on global citizenship education. The collected data were validated using the participant feedback method, and their reliability was assessed and confirmed based on the quality criterion (trustworthiness). Using the research findings, a model for the flourishing of the education system was proposed. It is hoped that by moving toward this model, the education system, as a cohesive whole, can bring about fundamental changes to establish and sustain flourishing at the levels of the Ministry, provincial education departments, schools, and curricula.

The present research was conducted with the aim of designing and validating the growth model of senior managers of Iran's telecommunications industry.
In terms of design, the research is mixed research that has been done with both qualitative and quantitative methods.  First, in the qualitative part, the main components were identified, and based on the identified components, the growth model of senior managers of Iran's telecommunications industry was designed.  In the quantitative part, the validity of the designed model has been checked by performing factor analysis.  The statistical population of the qualitative section includes industry experts and university faculty members.  At this stage, the snowball sampling method was used, based on which 17 semi-structured interviews were conducted to reach theoretical saturation.  The statistical population in the quantitative section consists of 172 senior managers, which was calculated using Cochran's method.  A researcher-made questionnaire did data collection.  The questionnaire is designed based on five dimensions of individual growth, organizational growth, educational growth, research growth, and professional growth and 25 components.  Four subject experts confirmed the validity of the questionnaire and its reliability was calculated using Cronbach's alpha as 0.94.  The obtained data were subjected to exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis using SPSS24 and Lisrel software.
The results obtained from the present research showed that the fit indices of the growth model of senior managers of the Iranian telecommunication industry are acceptable and suitable, and the proposed model has acceptable validity.
The results of this study showed that the current research is a dynamic and systematic framework for the professional growth and development of the senior managers of Iran's telecommunications industry through the design of various professional development programs such as personal development (strengthening skills to face change), educational development (creating multiple learning opportunities), organizational development (empowerment to acquire required skills), research development (ability to lead research projects) and professional development (ability to present has provided services to the organization and society).

This research was conducted with the aim of identifying factors affecting the growth of employees of Yasouj State University, and in it, an attempt was made to determine the contribution of each of these factors to the growth of employees of Yasouj State University. This research is applied in terms of research purpose and descriptive-survey of correlation type in terms of data collection. The statistical population of the current research is all the employees of Yasuj State University in 2022, whose number is estimated to be 400 people, and according to Morgan's table, the statistical sample size of this research is equal to 196 people.

The aim of the present study was to describe, analyze and combine the presented analysis about factors influencing the development of university faculty members through meta-analysis of previously conducted research. The related written works such as thesis and articles registered in Irandoc, Magrian, SID and Nourmags published during 2008-2017 were reviewed. Of these, fifteen studies were selected for deep examination.  Data analysis was done using SPSS, Excel and CMA2 software. In descriptive statistics, frequency and percentage frequency, and in inferential statistics, for calculating effect size, Hedge’s g and fixed and random effect model were used. To determine the level of significance and combine effect sizes, Chi-square and Weiner T were used respectively. The Funnel Plot was used for bias publication. For its elimination, Duval & Tweedi fitness test was utilized for both fixed and random effect size. To determine the homogeneity of the studies, Q and I2 tests were used which revealed that they were not homogeneous. The calculated effect size for the studies under both the fixed effects model was 0.612 and the random effects was 2.253 that was statistically significant for the studied variable. Additionally, the findings of combination of Weiner T probability showed that there was a significant difference between the combined effect sizes. Finally, 112 factors that significantly influencing the development of faculty members were identified. Internal and individual factors had most frequencies than other factors. .

This research aimed to design a structural model for relationships between developmental assets with thriving and wisdom. For this aim, based on multistage-cluster sampling method, a sample of 668 students from Kermanshah universities was selected, and Wisdom Scale (3D-WS), Thriving Scale and Developmental Assets Profile (DAP) were completed by them. The data analyzed by using the path analysis method. The final model presented a particular pattern of relationship between the research variables, and could explain 0/23 of the variance of wisdom. The fitness indicators of the model showed the proper fit with the data (χ2/df=2.57, RMSEA=0/05, GFI=1/00, CFI=1/00,). Direct effects of internal assets on three dimensions of wisdom were confirmed, its indirect effects through thriving on cognitive and effective dimensions were significant but on the reflective dimension was not significant. Also, direct effect of external assets on reflective dimension was confirmed, but on the cognitive and effective dimensions didn't confirm, and its indirect effects on cognitive and effective dimensions were significant but on reflective dimension was non-significant. Tottaly, internal assets more than external assets expiained wisdom in the students.
