The current research was conducted to identify a model for faculty members’ ostracism in the workplace. This study is an applied study by purpose and exploratory research in nature. It was conducted qualitatively using grounded theory in relation to the method. The participants of the research included faculty memers of Iranian universities, 19 of them were selected through the purposeful and snowball methods and following the rule of theoretical saturation, and the data was collected through semi structured interviews. The results of this research indicate that three categories of causal factors including individual factors, group factors, and organizational factors, as well as contextual factors (factors related to organizational culture, factors related to organizational structure and factors related to organizational processes), and intervening factors also affect the emergence of this phenomenon in universities. Strategies to prevent the ostracism of faculty members and the consequences of this phenomenon in universities have been determined at both the individual and organizational levels. The findings of the research can create a suitable insight about the emergence of the phenomenon of faculty members’ ostracism in the workplace and provide a basis for planners and policy makers of the university system to prevent it.

There are various systems for ranking universities at the national and international levels which measure universities by different indicators and show their strengths and weaknesses compared to other universities. But the ranking system of the country's universities, which is based on national and international conditions, is more important than ever. Therefore, the main purpose of this research is to design a model for a comparative study and ranking of universities in the country. This research is applied in terms of purpose and is quantitative-qualitative in terms of type. The study population consists of experienced people involved in the development planning of universities in the country. To determine the sample size, the theoretical impregnation method was used. In this research, first, the necessary information for theoretical discussions was collected through deep study and review of related documents including the published scientific resources, Then, using the content analysis method, criteria and indicators of university assessment were collected, and finally, the task of determining criteria weights and indicators was done by analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method based on expert opinions. Finally, the model was presented to evaluate and rank the universities of Iran. According to the results of this research, seven criteria and 33 concepts were obtained, which, in the end, according to the weights criteria the ranks were rated. The following rankings are related to the quality of research, international credit, social and cultural credibility, the degree of innovation and financial efficiency, the rate of training of experts, and facilities.

The aim of present research is to identify indices and effective factors on virtuous organization and test the structural model of virtuous organization in selected universities of Yazd province. The procedure we proposed to reach the mentioned research aim, combined approach of quantitative-qualitative method has been used. To identify the indices of virtuous organization, Delphi method which is one of the qualitative methods, has been utilized. To test the model, quantitative method of structural equations modeling was used. In this paper, first of all, effective indices on creating virtuous organization have been extracted according to the research literature and then, it was unanimously agreed on them by making Delphi هیئترئیسه and three rounds of implementing it. The obtained indices were the basis of the preparing the main questionnaire. Research statistical universe included employees of selected universities of Yazd Province. Results showed that main five factors including leadership, organizational culture, human resource, structure and processes and attention to stakeholders can be extracted by factor analysis فن the these five factors can totally explain about the 81% of the total variance of the variables. Results of the path analysis of the structural model of virtuous سازمان indicated that among the five extracted factors, organizational culture has the most direct effect on virtuous organization and the factor of attention to stakeholders allocated the first rank to itself in leading the organization towards virtuous organization in terms of total direct and indirect effect.
