Abstract

Today, effective and standard human resources are among the important apprehensions of educational systems and behavior, knowledge and performance standards are, inter alia, the most fundamental options in selecting qualitative human resource. In this article-type research, a conceptual model, scientific and global resources as well as localization approach in Iran are applied.

In this line, 140 individuals (65 female and 75 male) were selected from 2628 administrators of Tehran's high / pre-university schools by using a layer method. They answered a 40-item questionnaire in two scientific (12 questions) and performance (28 questions) aspects. By applying non-parametric test of Yumen Witney and Kroskal Valice as well as calculating the value of mentioned characteristics in the questionnaire, the rate of options acceptance was measured and following results were achieved:

(1) Provided model is considered highly suitable for assessing scientific aspect by more than 90 percent of administrators. (2) Provided model is also considered highly suitable for assessing performance aspect by more than 90 percent of administrators. (3) In scientific aspect, "being aware of the general objectives of the organization and school in order to plan correctly" is considered as the highest priority by high school administrators. (4) In performance aspect, "analyzing managerial weak/strength points" is considered as the highest priority by high school administrators.
