Purpose: The present study was conducted to design a model of professional development courses for faculty members of Farhangian University with a reverse learning approach.
Methodology: This study was meta-combined in terms of applied purpose and method used. The prototype consists of 3152 studies obtained from scientific databases from 2000 to 2020. After screening in terms of title, abstract, content, research methodology, 60 studies were selected and analyzed. The hyper-combination results led to the identification of 9 main components and 58 sub-components. In the next stage, in order to enrich the research data, an interview was conducted with experts (faculty members of Farhangian University and familiar with professional development courses) in which 12 main components and 50 sub-components were identified. At this stage, data analysis was performed by theme analysis method. Then, the data of both phases were combined with each other, which finally obtained 15 main components and 55 sub-components. In the next step, a questionnaire was extracted from the identified components and provided to the experts to rank the components.
Findings: The components of institutional factors, support and support, pedagogy, evaluation and quality assurance, learning templates were the most important for experts in courses of professional development with reverse learning approach.
Conclusion: Finally, the lavage coefficient was used to validate the components and finally 10 main components and 38 sub-components were approved

Purpose: The aim of this study was to model the factors affecting organizational envy among Farhangian University staff.
Methodology: In terms of purpose, this study was part of applied research in which an exploratory sequential mixed methods research design was used. The statistical population in the qualitative section was specialists and experts in the field of educational sciences and organizational behavior management of Farhangian University in the northwestern provinces of the country in 2020-2021. The research sample was selected based on the principle of theoretical saturation; 24 people were selected using criterion-based purposive sampling. In the quantitative part, the statistical population includes all staff and faculty members of Farhangian University in the northwestern provinces of the country in 2020-2021; that is, 287 people of which 130 subjects were selected using the Cochran's formula and stratified sampling method. Optimal assignment based on degree and gender was selected as the research sample. The instrument used in the qualitative stage was a semi-structured interview and in the quantitative part, a researcher-made questionnaire was used. The validity of the research findings in the qualitative part was ensured by the methods of review by members, peer review, and participatory research. Also, in order to measure the reliability of the codings, two methods of reliability of retest (stability index) and thematic agreement were employed, the results of which were 84% and 82%, respectively. In the quantitative stage, the content and face validity of the questionnaire were confirmed by the professors and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha at 0.89. To analyze the data in the qualitative part, the content analysis method was used in MAXQDA 2018 software and in the quantitative part; structural equation modeling and confirmatory factor analysis in Smart PLS2 software were used.
Findings: Based on the research findings: 100 basic themes, 72 sub-themes were identified in the form of 7 main themes. The main themes included anti-citizenship behaviors, organizational culture, personality traits, distance between manager and employees (leader-member exchange), unfavorable organizational climate, lack of attention to organizational learning capabilities, spiritual leadership. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to assess the validity of the structures and to confirm each of the variables as well as the related items. To evaluate the adequacy of the model, a criterion was used to indicate the effect of an exogenous variable on an endogenous variable. In the results section of the criteria, the values obtained for endogenous structures confirmed the suitability of the structural model.
Conclusion: According to the obtained results, university management can ensure the success of the organization under its management by identifying the factors affecting organizational envy and as a result by reducing and modifying envy in the workplace and creating a favorable organizational atmosphere with its spiritual leadership. Managers need to step up their efforts to create situations in which the organizational envy is controlled and try to prevent it from escalating into disruptive group work

The statistical population of the research was made up of all people with borderline personality disorder who referred to counseling centers in Shiraz, and among them, 50 people were randomly selected in the experimental group (25 people in each group) and the control group ( 25 people) were appointed. The experimental group was trained in 12 sessions of 60 minutes using schema therapy, and the control group remained on the waiting list. The tools used in this research include borderline personality questionnaire (Claridge and Brooks, 1984), ambivalence in emotional expression (King and Emmons, 1990), self-differentiation (Skorn and Friedlander, 1998), mentalization (Fonagy, 1991) and sensitivity to rejection. (Downey and Feldman, 1996).Findings: The analysis of the information obtained from the implementation of the questionnaire was done in two descriptive and inferential sections (variance analysis with repeated measurements). The results showed that schema therapy training has an effect on the components of ambivalence in emotional expression (positive emotion expression, intimacy expression and negative emotion expression) of people with borderline personality disorder. Schema therapy training has an effect on self-differentiation and its components (emotional reactivity, my place, lack of emotional escape and integration with others) in people with borderline personality disorder. Schema therapy training has an effect on the mentalization of people with borderline personality disorder. The results showed that schema therapy training has an effect on sensitivity to rejection in people with borderline personality disorder. In this way, this treatment has been able to increase self-differentiation and mentalization of patients with borderline personality disorder and reduce negative emotional expression and sensitivity to rejection.Conclusion: According to the findings of the present study, schema therapy can be suggested as an effective method to increase self-differentiation and mentalization and reduce negative emotional expression and sensitivity to rejection in patients with borderline personality disorder.

The current research community is the fans of Iran's premier football league. Meanwhile, four teams (Perspolis, Esteghlal, Tractorsazi and Sepahan) were selected as the top four teams of the 2019-20 league respectively. Due to the fact that the size of the statistical population is unlimited, stratified random sampling was used. In this research, the scale of fan interaction with the brand was used from the Desart questionnaire (2017), the brand image of Tim Bauer et al. (2008) and the team identity of Mile and Ashworth (1992). Structural equation modeling with partial least squares approach and Smart Pls version 3 software were used for data analysis.Findings: The results showed that fan interaction has a significant positive effect on the brand image and identity of team fans.Conclusion: Finally, the research model had a strong fit and can be used as an operational model in the Iranian Premier League to attract more football fans.
