This paper examines the transmission or contagion of organizational misbehavior (OMB) among school’ s members. Research method was descriptive – correlation and all of high school teachers were made the population of study which 220 of them were selected via clustering sampling method. To collect the data, standardizes scales was used and data analyzed through hierarchical linear modeling (HLM). Results shows that organizationally directed misbehavior is partially spread through social information in that the relationship between the work group’ s ODM and the focal individual’ s ODM was partially mediated by all three forms of social information. The work group’ s ODM creates social information (direct observation, indirect knowledge and prevalence of these behaviors) that is perceived by other members of the work group. That social information is positively related to the ODM of a focal group member. Interpersonally directed misbehavior is spread through direct observation and prevalence of IDM as the IDM of the work group and the focal individual was fully mediated by these two types of social information but not by the indirect knowledge of IDM. Taken together, these findings indicate that the work group’ s misbehavior creates social information (direct observation, indirect knowledge and prevalence of these behaviors) that is perceived by other members of the work group. That social information is positively related to the misbehavior of a focal group member.

They were next presented in the form of a questionnaire to 30 experts to be judged. The statistical population of this study consisted of 445 scientific board members of SAMA Institutes, from among 295 people were selected based on the principles of determining sample volume in multivariable regression analysis to form this study’ s sample. For the purpose of data collection, a researcher-developed questionnaire was employed. Considering the possibility of discarding some filled-out questionnaires, 310 ones were filled out and finally 306 questionnaires were collected to be analyzed. The results found 7 principal components. These components were evaluated in two states: status quo and desired.

This study aimed to gather a comprehensive list of duties and job descriptions for department chairs in public universities affiliated with Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology of Iran, so that it can be used as a basis for performance evaluation of the head of department in humanities. It was a combined qualitative-quantitative research conducted heuristically using Grounded Theory. The required data was extracted from the related resources through library research. The gathered data was analyzed in MAXQDA software. The analysis was done through open, axial and selective coding; the 1297 extracted open codes were classified into 26 components (axial codes) and 6 main categories (selective codes). In addition, views of higher education experts were gathered through a total of 17 interviews. By implementing, analyzing and coding interview texts, 1503 codes were extracted and classified into 31 components and seven main categories. The data sampling method was purposive sampling. The two job description patterns obtained from theoretical data and data from interviews were combined to form the final job description model consisting of seven main categories and 42 components. The main categories of a job description for the heads of departments are: leadership, qualification acquisition, interactions, mentoring, executive management, creating change and diversity, and quality improvement. To test the goodness-of-fit, a peripheral study was performed in which 40 heads of department from public universities were selected to complete a questionnaire. The process consisted of three phases and resulted in the elimination of seven items, giving a final model with 113 items. The proposed instrument can be used in reviewing job descriptions of department chairs in university regulations or to assess the status quo and self-evaluate the performance by other department chairs.
