Abstract
Objective: the aim of this study was to compilation, normalization and validation of ineffective behaviors of universities professors.
Method: This study was a descriptive from type of correlation that its population was all the faculty members of five big universities in the 2019-2020 academic years. The sample of the research was 123 professors of the mentioned universities who were selected by available sampling method. The research tool was a researcher-made questionnaire of ineffective behaviors of universities professors with 64 items in three factors of educational, research and communication. The data were analyzed with the methods of content validity ratio, content validity index and exploratory factor analysis in SPSS and Smart-PLS software.
Results: The results of content validity ratio and content validity index showed that these statistics were obtained for all three educational, research and communication factors and the components of each of them were higher than 0.80. the results of exploratory factor analysis showed that there were three factors for the ineffective behavior of universities professors; So that the first factor i.e. the educational factor had 3 components, the second factor i.e. the research factor had 4 components and the third factor i.e. the communication factor had 5 components, which the factor loading of all of them was higher than 0.60 and the Cronbach and combined reliability of all of them was higher than 0.70. In addition, the values of R2 for all factors and components were higher than 0.50 and the GOF index was equal to 0.43, which indicated the appropriate fit of the model and the model of ineffective behaviors of universities professors was drawn in the factor loading and t-test modes, which based on, the inefficient behaviors of universities professors had a significant effect on educational, research and communication factors and each factor on its components due to a t-statistic higher than 1.96.
Conclusion: The questionnaire of the current research is a valid and reliable tool for measuring the ineffective behaviors of universities professors.
