indigenous model

People capability maturity model (PCMM) is a framework to help develop the level of maturity and improve the field of human resources of organizations. The present study is conducted with the aim of designing and validating an indigenous PCMM for managers among faculty members of the Islamic Azad University of Fars Province. First, the initial indicators are extracted through literature review, then the interview questions are designed and approved by 3 experts. After that, semi-structured interviews are conducted with 17 faculty members who, in addition to having executive records over 5 years, also are assistant professors and above. The sampling method is purposeful snowball. Data analysis is done based on Strauss and Corbin grounded theory model in 6 paradigms of causal conditions, main phenomenon, intervening conditions, context, strategies and consequences. The results of data analysis obtained during 3 open, axial and selective coding processes lead to the extraction of 29 indicators and 98 components. Then, using the obtained variables, a questionnaire is designed and distributed among faculty members, and data are collected and indicators are ranked using confirmatory factor analysis, based on which an indigenous model is presented. Validity and fitting of the model is measured through structural equations using PLS software. The results of validation show that the model has a high validity. According to the discussions and conclusions, one of the research suggestions in increasing the maturity and capability of faculty members can be holding perpetual training courses for managers, which should be implemented by teachers who have a brilliant record in human resource management.

This study aims to present an Indigenous model for recreating inefficient urban textures, with an emphasis on social sustainability, in Region 2 of Rafsanjan. The research method employs a qualitative approach and content analysis, which involves identifying basic, organizing, and overarching themes. The DEMATEL technique was used to determine the causal relationships between the indicators. Findings revealed five themes: physical-spatial regeneration, social sustainability, economic-social regeneration, preservation of local identity and heritage, and participatory governance, comprising a total of 49 indicators. The results of the DEMATEL analysis indicate complex and multi-layered relationships between different dimensions of regeneration, such that the state of deterioration of the fabric and the quality of existing materials, as primary influencing factors, have a direct impact on other physical and social indicators. Enhancing neighborhood ties and building local social networks strengthens solidarity, encourages resident participation, and fosters social oversight and ownership of spaces. Preserving traditional architecture, vernacular features, and local symbols supports cultural continuity, residents' sense of belonging, and neighborhood identity. The proposed model follows a systemic and integrated approach that extends physical interventions to include social, cultural, economic, and managerial aspects. Economic factors, including generating local employment and developing small businesses, contribute to equitable benefit distribution, residential stability, and long-term socio-economic sustainability. Furthermore, the model offers a practical framework for sustainable urban regeneration. Its adaptability also makes it applicable to other cities with similar socio-spatial conditions, providing a pathway to integrate physical renewal with social cohesion and cultural continuity.
