In terms of quantitative research, a researcher-made questionnaire with Cronbachchr('39')s alpha of 0.988 was administered to 250 managers and staff experts of Ardebil Education Department with the aim of validating the qualitative results.

Based on confirmatory factor analysis results of both dimensions, the correlation coefficients indices between all variables and the present variables (dimensions) are significant since their T-values is significance at the alpha level of 0.05 and the fit indices of NFI, CFI, IFI in both dimensions are greater than 0.9.

The results revealed that the measurement model of research variables on dimensions of ethical-commitment and technical and technological is appropriate. Also, the results of the present research can be applied in measuring and evaluating human resources productivity of service organizations in order to improve productivity and development of the organization.
