Purpose: This study presents a model for promoting happiness in high school student. The research method was descriptive-survey in terms of collecting the information. Methodology: The research data are collected by Oxford Hills and Argyle (2002) standard questionnaire and a researcher-made questionnaire of the factors affecting happiness in different levels distributed among 384faculty members and the students (first grade). The participants were selected based on Krejci and Morgan's table using cluster sampling method. Findings: The validity and reliability of the questionnaires were approved by experts. The results showed that three groups of factors (personal, family and school) affect the happiness of the students.

Present study was done aimed to identify the techniques of improving the heads of Islamic Azad university branches and ranking them effectiveness in order to promotion of professional ability. Study methodology was descriptive survey that was performed in qualitative and quantitative parts. Statistical population in the qualitative part was includes present and past heads of Guilan Islamic Azad university branches with more than 20 years’ record of service as head and in the quantitative part it was consisted of all the heads, vice-heads of branches and heads of faculties in Guilan Islamic Azad universities. Systematic non-random technique was performed and for quantitative part, total counting was performed to select the study population in the qualitative part. Research tool included interviewing and two open ended and close ended questionnaires. Data analysis was performed by fuzzy technique. In this study, 33 development techniques were recognized for heads of university branches, were classified in 3 major categories including formal, learning in practice and informal. Study findings indicate that amongst the development techniques for university branches heads, proceeding in the management profession, moving from lower responsibilities to the higher responsibilities, 360 evaluations, contributing in the question and response sessions with different beneficiaries, visiting the university branches with successful function had greatest effect on the enhancement of professional ability of university branches heads.

The objective of present study was to identify and evaluate the organizational structure of agile universities. The research method was mixed (qualitative-quantitative). Statistical populations in the qualitative section consisted of 18 researchers in the field of organizational agility and were selected by purposive sampling method. Statistical society in quantitative section consisted of 150 members of the faculty of management at the University units of Mazandaran province. These subjects have been teaching in the universities at least for 10 years. Stratified random sampling was done considering the size of the faculty members in each college. The sample size was 90 people calculated based on Cochran Formula. Data collection tools in qualitative section were semi-structured interviews and questionnaire respondents agreed determining factor in the quantitative part questionnaire had 25 questions drawn from the results of the interviews. This question has two dimensions and evaluated the existing and desired agile organizational structure. In the qualitative data analysis methods, using the technique of open coding, axial, and selective and Kendall test showed agreement among experts; In the quantitative data analyses using descriptive and inferential statistics were used. The qualitative findings stage of the existence of qualitative show there are 7 factors and 25 indexes. Kendall's coefficient of agreement for the issue of the right size were (0.72), improving the organizational level (0.66) decreased organizational formalities, (0.67), effective communication, (0.69) now and integration (0.61) the center of decision-making (0.67) and the improvement of human resources. So these concepts were introduced as aspects of organizational structure. The findings of this assessment indicate that between the status quo and the ideal situation is marked on all sides there is a significant difference. Most of this difference in the dimensions of formalization and the lowest levels in the structure; According to the strategy managers and planners Islamic Azad University about creating agile university research findings can provide special approaches.

This research seeks to determine the dimensions of organizational forgetting management and prioritize them in university. Current research in terms of purpose is applicable. In terms of data, it is quantitative. In terms of method, it is a descriptive-survey research. In this research, for determining the validity of measurement tool, content validity has been used and for calculating the reliability, Cronbach's Alpha method has been used. The population of this research includes the faculty members and employees of Islamic Azad University in region 8. Also the researcher-made questionnaire has been used for information collection. In this research, a framework consisting of quadratic dimensions of the process management, technology, culture and structure for evaluation of organizational forgetting management was considered. With regard to the comparison by using of the mean index, the quadratic dimensions were evaluated in two eligible and available situations. It is determined that with regard to the difference between two available and eligible situations, in fact the level of process dimension is low and it is in available situation, also it can be concluded that culture in available situation is very posterior than ideal and eligible situation. In two technology and structure dimensions, this mean difference is less than two other dimensions. In available situation, the most gaps and deficits at first exist in culture dimension and then in two technology and structure dimensions; and finally there is weakness in the process dimension. Totally in different dimensions, there is a relatively large difference and gap between the mean indexes of two eligible and available situations.

This research aimed to identify the dimensions, components, priorities and distinction between existing and desired condition, organizational forgetting management and provides a model for appropriate mechanisms for controlling it at university. The research in term of goal is practical and giving quantitative data and method is descriptive-survey research. In order to validate the measurement, content validity has been used and to assess the reliability the Cronbach's Alpha has been applied. The study population consists of faculty and staff at Islamic Azad University in district eight. Considering the total size of faculty and staff at Islamic Azad University (13117), sample size is determined (375). According to the main question of this research, some theoretical studies and exploratory ones based on existing documents, questionnaires and interviews with experts were done. Questionnaires have been distributed and analyzed, then current and ideal situation were identified. Therefore, the statistical tables were prepared and described. To do so, inferential statistical methods have been used with SPSS and Lisrel so that the relationship between variables can be measured and the four management aspects of the research consisting of process, technology, culture and structure are determined to evaluate the organizational forgetting management. By comparing the conditions and dimensions in current and ideal state, a considerable gap was found between the two mentioned states. On the basis of the analyses, the strengths and weaknesses were found and the mechanisms to eliminate this gap were expressed.

The aim of the present study was to identify dimensions and dimensions and components of improving the educational quality of graduate students (master). The statistical population included all faculty and students of Islamic Azad University, Science and Research in the city of Bushehr. The sample size in accordance with the Morgan table was estimated about 201 faculties and 351 students, and that number was randomly selected from the population; Data collection instrument was a questionnaire with 93 questions, five-point Likert's scale, and the alpha coefficient of 0/95. The collected data was analyzed using exploratory factor analysis. The obtained results identified 10 dimensions and components of the students economic conditions, student facilities, library services, faculty, students, curriculum, teaching and learning methods, good communication, academic facilities and administrative services as dimensions and components of improving the educational quality of graduate students ( Master) Azad University of Bushehr, and the overall impact of these factors was 56%.
