Purpose: Social capital plays an important role in the success of any organization, including the education organization. As a result, the purpose of this study was presenting a social capital management model in the general directorate of education in Kermanshah province with a grounded theory approach. Methodology: This research in terms of purpose was applied and in terms of implementation method was mixed (qualitative and quantitative). The research population in the qualitative part was experts and senior managers of education in Kermanshah province and in the quantitative part were the principals of primary schools in Kermanshah province. The sample size in the qualitative part was estimated according to the principle of theoretical saturation 11 people who were selected by purposive sampling method and in the quantitative part was estimated according to Krejcie and Morgan table 332 people who were selected by random cluster sampling method. The research instrument in the qualitative part was a semi-structured interview and in the quantitative part was a researcher-made questionnaire, whose psychometric indices was confirmed and for data analysis was used from the methods of coding in MAXQDA software and exploratory factor analysis in LISREL software. Findings: Findings showed that in the central category of social capital management in education, causal conditions including categories of organizational factors, social factors and individual factors, contextual conditions including categories of social bonds of employees, cultural and social commitments and sustainable social development, intervening conditions including categories of legal requirements and frameworks, civic participation networks, organizational policies and organizational culture, strategies including categories of knowledge management, organizational resilience, job turnover and organizational participation and outcomes including categories of organizational outcomes, individual outcomes and social outcomes.

People capability maturity model (PCMM) is a framework to help develop the level of maturity and improve the field of human resources of organizations. The present study is conducted with the aim of designing and validating an indigenous PCMM for managers among faculty members of the Islamic Azad University of Fars Province. First, the initial indicators are extracted through literature review, then the interview questions are designed and approved by 3 experts. After that, semi-structured interviews are conducted with 17 faculty members who, in addition to having executive records over 5 years, also are assistant professors and above. The sampling method is purposeful snowball. Data analysis is done based on Strauss and Corbin grounded theory model in 6 paradigms of causal conditions, main phenomenon, intervening conditions, context, strategies and consequences. The results of data analysis obtained during 3 open, axial and selective coding processes lead to the extraction of 29 indicators and 98 components. Then, using the obtained variables, a questionnaire is designed and distributed among faculty members, and data are collected and indicators are ranked using confirmatory factor analysis, based on which an indigenous model is presented. Validity and fitting of the model is measured through structural equations using PLS software. The results of validation show that the model has a high validity. According to the discussions and conclusions, one of the research suggestions in increasing the maturity and capability of faculty members can be holding perpetual training courses for managers, which should be implemented by teachers who have a brilliant record in human resource management.
