Purpose: Today, research and scientific activities are the main context for the development of societies. In fact, research productivity can lead to the flourishing of scientific production and growth. Teachers, as the main provider of education to students, also need research activities to improve their educational quality, which lies in research productivity. Therefore, one of the main necessities of the education system is to address the basic issue of teacher research productivity. Teachers' research activities can play an important role in teaching and its quality. On the other hand, electronic human resource management provides a basis for teachers to rely on electronic research to get acquainted with up-to-date research and apply it in their research activities. Therefore, the use of electronic human resource management in research productivity is one of the axes to improve the quality of teaching and research productivity of teachers. The aim of this study was to present a model of the effect of electronic human resource management on research productivity of education teachers in Mazandaran province.Methodology: The method of the present study was integrated in terms of implementation method (qualitative-quantitative) and applied in terms of purpose. The research population in the qualitative section included Mazandaran University experts in the academic year 2019-20, in which 15 people were selected based on theoretical saturation and purposefully. The statistical population of the quantitative section also included teachers of education and training in Mazandaran province in the academic year 2019-20 (2287 people). The sample size was determined using Cochran's formula of 380 people who were selected by simple sampling method. The research tool was a researcher-made questionnaire in the qualitative part of semi-structured interviews and a researcher-made questionnaire in the quantitative part. The validity of the qualitative findings with the view of experts and the review strategy and reliability by the coding agreement coefficient method was 0.83. In the quantitative part, it was 0.91 with content validity and reliability with Cronbach's alpha method. To analyze the data in the qualitative part, the coding method was used with Maxquda18 software and in the quantitative part; exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modeling in Pls Smart3 software were used.Findings: Qualitative findings showed that the selected code of electronic human resource management has 33 indicators in 5 central themes including (technological, structural, cultural, strategic and process) and the selected code of research productivity also has 36 indicators in 5 central themes including (individual, organizational, Economic, technical-operational and social). Also, the results of exploratory factor analysis showed that all factor loads of the structures were above 0.40. The results of structural equations also showed that electronic human resource management had a positive effect on research productivity (P <0.05).Conclusion: According to the results of the present study, the planners of the education system should provide their research productivity by empowering teachers in the field of electronic human resources.

Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between managers' communication skills and the effectiveness of classroom management.Methodology: The method of the present study was descriptive-correlation. The statistical population included 28 principals and 976 teachers of secondary schools in Amol city. Stratified random sampling method was used to select the statistical sample. Based on this, 24 managers and 278 secretaries were selected as the statistical sample of the study. Data collection tools were Barton Communication Skills Questionnaire (1990) and Imarohikman Classroom Management Effectiveness Questionnaire (1991). The communication skills questionnaire had 18 items with three components "verbal skills, listening skills and feedback skills". The Classroom Management Effectiveness Questionnaire also consisted of 35 questions that measured the three components of "establishing discipline in the classroom, the effectiveness of parental education, and the effectiveness of the teacher's personal training." The validity of the questionnaires was confirmed using face and content validity methods. The reliability of the questionnaires was also reported using the appropriate Cronbach's alpha method. In order to analyze the data, Pearson correlation coefficient test and path analysis test were used.Findings: The results showed that there is not a significant relationship between the communication skills of managers and their components with the component of classroom discipline, but the total score of total communication skills of managers and its components with the other overall score of the classroom management and the components of the effectiveness of parent education And there is a positive and meaningful relationship between the effectiveness of teacher training. The results of path analysis indicate that the effect of verbal skills on classroom discipline is irrelevant and has a significant effect on the effectiveness of parental education and the effectiveness of teacher education. Hearing skills can also explain the effectiveness of parental training and the effectiveness of teacher training in a meaningful way and the classroom discipline is unreasonably explained. Finally, feedback skills can effectively explain the effectiveness of parental education and the effectiveness of teacher training in a meaningful way and the classroom discipline is unreasonably explained.Conclusion: Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that strengthening the communication skills of principals can be effective in enriching verbal and non-verbal communication with students' parents and also helping teachers in the quality of classroom management.
