Methodology: It was an applied study in terms of purpose and a mixed-exploratory (qualitative/quantitative) one in regards to the method. The statistical population in Delphi Method consisted of 17 experts familiar with the research topic and were selected by targeted sampling. The statistical population in the quantitative section comprised of all presidents, vice-presidents, and directors of education departments across the province. According to Cochran’s formula 87 subjects were selected by stratified sampling. The research tool included an author-made questionnaire with three dimensions, 9 components and 83 indicators. The validity from the lecturers’ viewpoint and reliability based on Cronbach’s alpha test was 0.92. The Delphi method with Kendall’s coefficient was used to analyze data. Model fitting and validation was made by CFA (Confirmatory Factor Analysis) and structural equations in Spss and PLs Smart. Findings: Data analysis showed that concerning significance of the model aspects, management was prioritized as factor loading (.98), organizational loading (.93), and individual loading (.90) (P<0/001). Based on t amounts, the significance of factor loadings (route coefficients) of the relationships among the components and strategic competencies aspects was above 2.57 which suggested that factor loadings of all components related to the “individual”, “management”, and “organizational” aspects were meaningful in the level of error α =0.01 (P<0.001, t>2.57). Finally, the suggested model of strategic competencies of directors of education department was 0.61 based on Goodness of Fit (GOF) standard, which was more than 0.35. Conclusion: Based on the present findings, the indigenous model of strategic competencies of managers in the education system can be considered significant.

Methodology: The research method was descriptive and descriptive-correlational and the method of modeling structural equations. The statistical population of the study was all education staff in Tehran in 1997-98. To determine the sample size, the principles of sample size determination were used in multivariate regression analysis in structural equation modeling, in which 610 people were selected by stratified sampling method. The Ryff and Keys Psychological Welfare Questionnaire (1989), the Putnam Social Capital Scale (2000) and the Schutte & Et al Intellectual Intelligence Questionnaire (1988) were used to measure and evaluate the status of employees.

Each year on 17th December people from different cultures and religions come and participate at Mevlana Jalal ad-DinRumi mausoleum rituals, called Shab-e Arus, to pay their respects to him. During pilgrimage as well as organized and informal rituals that take place in commemoration of Rumi death anniversary as the well-known poet and mystic of 13th century, a form of tolerance emerges. As such, the point of departure for this article is the perception of pilgrimage space as the space of connections, where an arena for social and cultural interactions is created, that resulted in formation of a cultural tolerance. In other words, presence in the pilgrimage space and different rites has led to interactions that result in acceptance and understanding of the other, which thereby reinforces culture of tolerance. The cultural area and case study of this research is 744th ritual of commemoration of Rumi, formally called “time of Brotherhood”, that held on 7-17 December 2017 in Konya, Turkey.  The paper discussed the rituals of pilgrimage of his tomb share characteristics with what Victor Turner discussed as modern pilgrimage. Accordingly, this article elucidates the role of pilgrimage sites as the center and source of cultural coexistence involved in transnational identities. It emphasizes that such pilgrimage centers create a peaceful coexistence in an intercultural space instead of conflict between groups of people.
