This research is based on Goshal and Nahapiet social capital model and is trying to improve it. In this process, for making an indigenous social capital model, sadie's point of view has been considered. Different variables were found in sadie's works and after consulting with experts, they were measured in the form of questionnaires.

Prescriptive and deductive statistics have been used for data analysis. Research findings have been obtained from 376 subjects using easy sampling and kukran formula from 10714 male and female students in undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. The results of average in secularization considering the group which is based on the number of items, indicates that secularization rate in students believes is low. Behavioral secularization rate is above the average and it is average in religious organizations, selection and religious tolerance. Research results indicated that men show more secularization than women. Between getting married and using classical communicative tools, however, there is no significant relationship. All of our hypotheses including the influence of educational period in university, friends secularization tendency, parents secularization tendency, students logical tendency, different faculties, social status, using public modern instrument, being urban and rural, nationality, religion, parents education and tendency to different parties on one, more than one, or all of secularization dimensions has been confirmed.

The purpose of this study was to study the simple and multiple relation of organizational learning and social trust with staff development in public medical and non medical universities of south east. Research method is descriptive-correlative. Statistical population includes all faculty members, official and contractual staff of public Medical and non-Medical universities of South east, who were employed in academic year 1388-1389. From the mentioned universities six universities were chosen randomly and then from these universities 240 people were chosen randomly as sample. Three questionnaires of organizational learning, organizational trust and staff development were distributed among them and after collecting more than 80% of questionnaires, data were chosen. Content validity of three questionnaires were confirmed by professors and experts at college of educational sciences. Reliability of these questionnaires were calculated using kronbakh coefficient and were 0.71, 0.82, and 0.73 respectively. In this research, Shapirovilk test was used to survey normality of marks, Pierson corrolatin coefficient for surveing the relations among variables, and linear and curvical regression and variance analyses was used to survey hypothesis and multivariable regression and path analysis used to measure the model. According to findings of this research there is a significant relation among variables of organizational learning (r=0.477) and organizational trust (r=0.163) with staff development. Results of multivariable regression show that dependent variable is directly affected by variable of organizational learning (b=0.469) and organizational learning indirectly affect staff development (b=0.278), but direct affect of organizational trust upon staff development was not significant (b=0.033, N.S).
