The Participants of the study was experts and scholars in higher education in the field of globalization of higher education that 21 people were interviewed based on purposive sampling until reaching the theoretical saturation. After collecting the data, the process of refining, retrieval, categorization and presentation of the findings was carried out by analyzing the qualitative content of the interview texts. Qualitative research evaluation criteria including trustworthiness (equivalent to internal validity in quantitative research), transformability (equivalent to external validity in quantitative research), dependability (equivalent to reliability) and confirmability (equivalent to objectivity) were investigated and accordingly, validity and reliability of the study were confirmed. Based on the results of the study, a pattern consisting of six factors (cultural globalization, political globalization, economic globalization, social globalization, scientific globalization, management globalization) and 26 categories has been drawn that should be taken into consideration for globalization of university.

Finding Job is defined as a pattern of voluntary, purposeful, self-regulating behaviors aiming at achieving employment. This concept is influenced by various factors and predictors among which the role of social support has been examined in various research. Concerning the important role of universities faculty members on the improvement of career path and students’ job search process, as an especial, current research aims at examining the perception of the university graduates on how professors influence their job search process. With regard to the current research nature, this research is a qualitative one with the interpretative phenomenological design. Participants consist of 11 individuals (7 males and 4 females) among graduates of Bojnord University whose, besides employment, scores on job search activity and job search self-efficacy scales are one standard deviation higher than mean. The participants were selected by purposeful and criterion- driven sampling method. Then, data were collected by a semi-structural interview and were coded and analyzed by Dicklman method. The coding process was analyzed in the form of primary codes, concepts, and categories. The results of the interviews’ analysis led to extracting 440 primary codes, 11 concepts, and 5 categories. These categories, which are indeed reflective of perception of the graduates on how professors influence their job search process, are fostering job search self-efficacy, psychological support, specialized support, nurturing job search attitude, and improving job search strategies. Factors counted from interviews’ analysis process while emphasizing the role of faculty members on the graduates’ job search process, is suggestive of the fact that the relationship between faculty members and students contains implications such as improvement of realistic attitudes toward job search, increase of perceived social support toward job search, an increase of background capabilities for employment, enriching job search strategies and increase of belief in individual capabilities to achieve a job.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the social problems of female students focusing on a comparison between the dormitory lifestyle and living together with their family. Based on qualitative approach and through the grounded theory method and snowball sampling, 14 students were interviewed. Analysis of data started from the first case and collecting data continued until theoretical saturation was realized.  Analysis of data resulted in 8 categories: social tags in living place, controlling norms of family, environmental limits, lack of independence and freedom, contradiction of traditional norms with present social values, conflict of ideas with family members, distance from real self, normalization of social pathologies as social problems of dormitory life. The extracted concepts indicate that the dormitory lifestyle has some individual positive consequences for female students including more personal independence in the dormitory, management of economic costs, achieving more tolerance and improvement of social interactions. In sum, this research indicated that freedom and independence of the students in the dormitory are more than when they live with their family. Despite the difficulties in the dormitory, most students prefer dwelling life to family life.

The purpose of the research was to gain the lived experience of the faculty from the status of academic identities; and how new approaches to planning based on managerialism create the schism of academic identities. The research method was grounded theory. Data were collected through in-depth qualitative interviews with 16 faculty members based on theoretical and purposeful sampling, at Mazandaran University, Allameh University, Institute for Research and Planning in Higher Education, and the Institute for Cultural and Social Studies of the Ministry of SRT, which previously or currently hold management positions. In each interview by snowball sampling. ,key informants were identified by the interviewers. The data collection process continued until saturation was happened. Using Maxqda software, data analysis was performed in three stages of open coding, axial and selective coding and the main categories including causal conditions, intra-academic factors, extra-academic factors, strategies, and concequences emerged and based on the paradigm diagram derived from the study. The findings showed that modern approaches to planning are based on neoliberal doctrine, whereby the importance of monetization is emphasized in terms of cost savings. However, this is only one reason for the schism of academic identities, and the numerous causes ultimately create the delay space of society and higher education that have been yield to academic identity schism. Describing the delay space of the society and the planning of higher education, along with internal and external factors, created strategies that led to consequences at the individual, organizational, and social levels.
