structural equation model

Examining various dimensions of teachers’ social capital is considered a new topic; as is the idea of the school as a small unit of  society. This paper follows an approach to measuring social capital from the perspective of surveying the components of social capital among foreign language teachers. To this end, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach was adopted. It was assumed that teachers, to expand and consolidate their social capital, need to learn from the structure of professional-participatory development, and intellectual, research, and emotional support of each other in the context of schools. To collect data, a total of 143 foreign language teachers working in the Education department were selected. The tools were tested and confirmed in terms of validity (convergent and divergent) and reliability (Delwin-Goldstein & Cronbach's alpha). We used SmartPLS (V.4) and SPSS software to test the goodness of fit of the proposed structural model and the research hypotheses. Looking at the pattern output and path coefficients, it is estimated that participatory professional development and professional reflection have a direct role in building the social capital of language teachers, while expandable agency has a mediating role. Based on the results and in line with parallel studies, it is suggested that teachers' participation in developmental and collaborative activities (such as team training, joint research action, and visiting other classes and schools), along with an atmosphere of (knowledge, research and emotional) support should be included in the teacher training curriculum.

The transportation industry has the largest growth in the production of greenhouse gases, and reducing the share of pollutants produced by this industry is one of the most important challenges of climate change programs. As one of the most important and developing sectors in global transportation, air transportation plays an important role in economic growth, but this industry also has a great impact on climate change by producing greenhouse gases. Nowadays, much attention is paid to policies, and studies related to them have been done in order to reduce the effects of air transportation on weather. Improving the environmental performance of the aviation industry is one of the important issues of this industry. In Iran, attention to environmental issues in air transportation has recently been considered by researchers and managers. Due to the lack of research in this field, until now a specific model including the dimensions and components of the environmental policy has not been presented in the air transport industry. It is a partial view and the lack of a comprehensive model in which all environmental dimensions and components are taken into account, and the policy maker can respond to the growing demand for attention to the environment at the national and international level while developing. The present study has been conducted with the aim of presenting the structural equation model of green policy in air transportation.

Design/ methodology/ approach: 

This research is exploratory-applied in terms of purpose, and in terms of sequential exploratory design, in terms of type, it is mixed (qualitative, quantitative), and in terms of descriptive-survey method. This research is sequential in terms of time, and in terms of weight, it is more towards the first stage. The statistical population in the qualitative section includes 14 air transportation experts and climate change researchers. The statistical population in the quantitative part includes experts and managers of the civil aviation organization as the main policymakers of the air transport industry, with a number of 331 people and a sample size of 178 people. Sampling was done in the qualitative part by a targeted method and in the quantitative part by a simple random method. The data collection tool in the qualitative part is a semi-structured interview, which continued until theoretical saturation was reached and was analyzed using Brown and Clark's theme analysis, in the form of six stages of getting to know the data, forming primary codes, searching for selective codes, and forming themes. Secondary, naming the main themes, and reporting were done, and the initial model was prepared using the three-pronged model. The model was examined in the quantitative part using a questionnaire and the partial least squares method and SmartPLS software. In order to make a green policy in the aviation industry, it is better to pay attention to the structural, contextual, content, and environmental dimensions, respectively.

 The findings show that green policymaking in aviation has 4 main dimensions and 14 components. The structural dimension (0.889) is the most important; the contextual dimension (0.865), the content dimension (0.756), and the environmental dimension (0.466) are in the next position. The goodness of fit criterion of the research conceptual model (0.662) shows a strong fit of the model. In order to make a green policy in the aviation industry, it is better to pay attention to the structural, contextual, content, and environmental dimensions, respectively.

Limitations & Consequences:

 If research is done in airlines, other results may be obtained; airlines pay more attention to economic issues, and environmental issues are of secondary importance.

Practical Consequences:

 The current research can serve as a practical guide for policymakers to pay attention to various dimensions of environmental issues in the direction of sustainable development.
Innovation or value of the Article: For the first time, this research presents the green policy model in aviation in Iran and makes it available to this industry.

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the attitude of the residents of the region towards tourism and the factors affecting this attitude based on the theory of social exchange. The present study has investigated the attitude and support of the beneficiaries of tourism. In terms of the research method, this study is a descriptive-correlation and applied type of research that uses structural equation modeling and has been carried out using the causal-relational method and covariance-variance matrix analysis. In terms of the method of collecting and receiving information, this research is in the field of field studies. The statistical population of the research was the heads of households (local people) in the villages of East Azerbaijan province in Iran. According to the investigations carried out by the organizations in charge of rural tourism in East Azerbaijan Province, such as the Tourism and Cultural Heritage Organization and the Islamic Revolution Housing Foundation, as well as field observations, 20 villages were selected as sample villages, and the total number of households in this the number of villages was estimated to be 4669. Using Cochran's relationship, the number of 355 heads of households from local people was selected as the statistical sample of the study. In this study, a multi-stage sampling method was used. Based on this, first of all, the studied villages were selected from the rural areas of East Azarbaijan province, taking into account a series of defining characteristics and indicators, including the presence of national and international registered works, the presence of a traditional texture, or a special architectural style, or a cultural ceremony. A number of 20 villages were selected as sample villages, and then a stratified sampling method with proportional allocation was used. In the final stage, through the use of a simple random sampling method, the head of the household was visited in person, the necessary information was collected, and the questionnaire was completed. Became Average Variance Extracted (AVE) was used to determine the validity of the measurement tool. The results showed the validity of the measurement tool (0.74-0.97). Composite reliability was used to determine the reliability of the research tool. The results showed the reliability of the measurement tool (0.93-0.99). The results of residents' opinions about causal relationships between tourism development variables indicated that a positive and significant causal relationship between personal benefit and understanding the positive effects of tourism, between personal benefit and satisfaction, between understanding the positive effects of tourism and satisfaction, between understanding There have been positive effects of tourism and support for tourism development, between satisfaction and support for tourism development. There is a negative and significant causal relationship between personal benefit and understanding the negative effects of tourism, understanding the negative effects of tourism, and satisfaction between understanding the negative effects and supporting the development of tourism. The results of the study, while confirming the theory of social exchange, determined what structures in support of tourism development should be considered in tourism development planning.

Aim and One of the stages of the human resources planning process is the planning for the retirement of human properties, which in most organizations has not received much attention. Organizations, as well as overseeing, planning, organizing, and supervising their employees for the selection, recruitment, training and employment of their employees, must also think about the retirement of their employees. Sovereign Institutions of the Islamic Republic of Iran are not exceptions to the general model of the country and have problems, so some reforms proposed from within the system to reform the country's pension system. The aim of this study is to provide desirable Structural equation model for pension payments system of sovereign institutions employees in Islamic republic of Iran.  To do this study, models and related factors in design of pension payments system from scientific articles were examined which resulted in the extraction of variables, dimensions and components of the comprehensive model. The data collected through a questionnaire. These activities resulted in confirm the presented pattern with 6 variables; "Retirement Layers", "Retirement Plans", "Pension Payments System Factors", "Retirement Programs", "Retirement Types" and " Compensation Systems", 25 dimensions and 57 components. The purpose of correlational research is to understand complex patterns through the study of the relationships between the variables of the patterns that interactions between them. This method is especially useful in situations where the aim is to discover the relationship between variables that did not researched. In addition, the Delphi technique used in various stages of the research, including designing the data collection tool, compiling the initial research model and determining the indicators, as well as validating the final research model. The statistical population of the current research consists of two groups as follows:A. The first group includes experts and professors who are experts in the field of human resources management and administrative affairs and familiar with management issues and familiar with employee issues in the public sector.B. The second group includes all the employees of the organizations of Kerman province in the framework of the case study.At the time of the research, the number of employees included 1047 people. Using Morgan's table to select the sample size, 282 people were determined and selected by simple random sampling. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS software. Basically, retirement payment systems tailor to the specific circumstances of each country, including the level of development, demographic trends, macroeconomic policies, infrastructure, institutional capacity and depth and ability of financial markets.In final, to solve the problems of pension funds, the need for technical changes in the method of calculating pensions, changing the retirement age, reducing benefits, introducing new types of financing such as public and private savings schemes or ways to improve governance and income generation and investment policies of the funds is discussed. In order to examine and determine the effectiveness of the proposed research model, the conceptual model and test results of the present research questions were provided to the experts, and they were asked to determine whether the proposed model was effective or not according to the conceptual model and the results. The results showed that 18 (91%) of the experts confirmed the effectiveness of the pattern.Discussion and Although, in order to improve the measurement of the effectiveness and the optimal pattern of the system of pension payments for the employees of the governing institutions of the Islamic Republic of Iran and to explain the factors related to it, it is felt to identify the dimensions and network the structural components more precisely. Of course, assuming constant economic and climatic conditions considered one of the limitations of the research.In order to improve the situation of the pension payment system, two corrective solutions proposed: first is to increase the retirement age and the minimum number of years of service. Considering that the life expectancy has increased, there is no reason for the retirement age to remain constant. The improvement of health indicators means that people have the ability to work for more years, and therefore, with the amendment of the legal retirement age, the number of years of receiving a pension reduced and the number of years of paying insurance premiums increased. This solution also has favorable results for the economy because it adds to the supply of formal labor. The second solution is to increase the number of base years for pension calculation.

The purpose of this study is to design and validate the model of antecedents and consequences of experimental marketing in the banking industry of Iran.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of open innovation on knowledge management implementation with regard to knowledge management processes in the second region of gas transmission operations in Esfahan province. To this end, a descriptive research method (survey type) was used. The research tool is based on the Wu and Hou’s (2018) standard questionnaire which after measurement of external validity, content (Lawshe’s method) and structural validity (confirmatory factor analysis) and reliability (estimated by Cranach’s alpha method), were implemented through the participation of 84 managers and employees in the second region gas transmission operations that were selected by the stratified sampling method. Data analysis was performed at both descriptive and inferential statistics (structural equation model) through “SPSS 21” and “Lisrel 8.9” software. The research model validity was evaluated through standard coefficients and significance coefficients (t> 1.96) and the results showed acceptable fit for the above-mentioned indices. The findings confirmed all the research hypotheses, as open innovation has the greatest impact on knowledge management processes (β = 0.66), also, open innovation had the least impact on knowledge management implementation (β = 0.25), finally; knowledge management processes have fully mediated open innovation support for knowledge management (VAF=0.519).

The main purpose of this study was to develop and validate an open innovation model in small and medium enterprises active in the Iranian Food Industries. In so doing, a sequential exploratory mixed methods research was used. Thus,  the data were collected in two phases: In the qualitative section, using the grounded theory method, through a semi-structured interview with 25 managers and university experts, the data were collected and codes and open innovation components were counted developed in the form of a grounded theory method. The questionnaire was designed based on the findings from the qualitative stage. In order to validate the model, the newly developed questionnaire was further administered among 371 managers and employees of food companies selected by proportional stratified sampling method. The validity of the research model was determined by the indicators of the measurement model, and structural model and SEM general indicators were measured and its results suggest acceptable fit for all of above-mentioned indicators.

Creativity and innovation have been considered as one of the salient issues which facilitate change in any organization (Ahmadi, 2013: 15). As Chesbrough (2012) rightly put in the absence of innovation in organizations, there would never have been the organizations in long run. Nowadays, the necessity of using open innovation to increase the competitive ability of companies in domestic and foreign markets is growing (Zhang and Zeng, 2009). Open innovation—a notion introduced by Henery Chesbrough—has become widely practiced in business and academic disciplines (Chesbrough & Garmann, 2009)
The application of open innovation in commercialization by companies has several advantages. For example, based on research studies, the use of open innovation can boost product success rates by up to 50% and, similarly, foster the productivity of internal research and development by up to 60%. (Enkell et al.,  2009). Given this, one of the companies that create entrepreneurial opportunities and provide the right platform for innovation and the economy of the country is small and medium enterprises. In the present study, the researchers, adhering to the paradigm of open innovation, made an attempt to cast a visible light to this issue. The reasons are: (1) Small and medium enterprises account for 94% of the companies in Iran; (2) they are the main source of employment, i.e., almost 70% of the employment rates were initiated by these companies; and (3) According to the World Labor Organization (WLO), almost 70 percent of innovations and industrial inventions have been created by entrepreneurs working in small and medium-sized enterprises.
Case Study:Inspired by the gaps in the literature, and due to the indispensable role of these small and medium enterprises, the current study probed the issue of open innovation in one of the industrial towns which is located in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province. At present, the study of the performance of small and medium enterprises in the province of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari indicates that these settlements have 800 small and medium enterprises, of which 200 to 250 units are closed during the surveys, while other companies. They are also working on half of their production capacity, and there are only about 400 active companies.

The overall design of the current study was a mixed methods research. More specifically, a sequential exploratory mixed-method design was used in order to uncover a probable open innovation model in active small and medium enterprises in the Iranian food industries. By adopting two separate phases, the researchers first collect and analyze qualitative data (i.e., using a semi-structured interview with 25 managers and university experts); second, the quantitative data (i.e., using a questionnaire) were collected and analyzed sequentially in order to help explain the qualitative results. The questionnaire and the initial model were designed based on the findings from the qualitative phase.
Discussion and

According to qualitative data, the findings uncovered a model comprising the following themes:(1)   The conditions affecting open innovation
(2)   The conditions underlying the strategies
(3)   The intervening conditions affecting strategies
(4)   The effective strategies
(5)   The implications of open innovation
Sequentially, the results of quantitative data confirmed the proposed model and suggest acceptable fit for all extracted indicators.

The overarching purpose of this study was to develop and validate an open innovation model in small and medium enterprises active in the Iranian Food Industries. The food industry as one of the most important industrial sectors in the national economy of the country has led the researcher to design an open innovation model in the food industry of the country.Due to the lack of model for operationalizing open innovation in food industries, the current study made an initiative to bridge this gap by employing a sequential exploratory mixed methods research. Overall then, the qualitative and quantitative findings underscored the necessity of implementing an innovative model for the small and medium enterprises.

This study aims to provide a learning organization SEM and the application of done at Tehran University. The research method is descriptive-correlational and analytical method was SEM. The population was University of Tehran staffs on the number of 2730 people. Sample size by using Cochran sampling formula and simple random sampling, were selected 243 people. To collect data, a questionnaire based on the model of Peter Senge (1990) designed by reliability (94/0 = α). Also evaluated and approved content and construct validity. For data analysis, Kolmogorov-Smirnov structural equation modeling, and one-sample t-test, was used. The results showed that the learning organization model has been fitted to the data. Accordingly, the individual features of the paradigm (γ =0/24) and systematic approach (γ =0/52) been effective. Systematic approach to the common cause (β=0/51) and collective learning (β=0/44) and shared vision have also had an impact on collective learning (β=0/17) has had impact. Finally, mental models based on shared vision and collective learning as well as individual features common cause whatsoever. The results showed that the application of learning organization and all aspects of its application in the target population, below the average and only mental patterns was middle.

In order to plan the future, knowledge of the attitudes, perceptions and identification of the various factors and dimensions affecting the nation brand of a country is necessary for any specialist and organization that wants to create, exploit, maintain, and develop a brand. Therefore, the present study seeks to find effective factors in nation branding in such a way as to identify the variables specific to Iran and to provide a suitable and comprehensive roadmap for future planning of the nation brand. The statistical population of the study was tourists who visited Iran and collected information from 987 individuals using a questionnaire. Using descriptive surveying method and structural equation modeling, eight hypotheses are analyzed and applied in terms of purpose. The results show that the factors of government, culture, tourism, society, geography, and nature, affect Brand. Also, export brands, science, and technology and economics are factors that affect the nation brand.

The present study aims to analysis of the effect of spiritual leadership on organizational performance through organizational identity. By reviewing the research literature, 26 components of spiritual leadership and 18 components of organizational identity were identified as factors affecting organizational performance and then was designed the conceptual framework of the research. Through survey and referring to the statistical sample of 265 managers and experts of the Social Security Organization of East Azerbaijan province, the required data were collected using a questionnaire. The conceptual framework was presented and validation by collecting empirical data and structural equation modeling. Investigating the models of measurement and analysis of factor loads showed that the components of spiritual leadership had the most impact on organizational performance. Also, studying structural model of research and path analysis revealed that there is a strong correlation between spiritual leadership variables with organizational identity and spiritual leadership. The simultaneous analysis of factors influencing organizational performance by structural equation method showed that the components of "spiritual leadership" had the greatest impact on organizational performance. The results of the analysis of path coefficients and the values of the coefficient of determination of R2 showed that the "spiritual leadership" variable directly explained 79.3% of the changes related to the variable "organizational performance". Also, "spiritual leadership" indirectly affects the variable "organizational performance" by means of an intermediate variable "organizational identity" of 34 percent.
