Abstract Purpose: The aim of this paper was to provide a talent management model based on emotional, organizational and cultural intelligence in Islamic Azad Universities, Fars province. Methodology: The research used descriptive and survey methods and the statistical population included all faculty members of Islamic Azad University, Fars Province in educational year in 2016-2017. The sample size included 332 subjects who were selected by stratified random sampling method. The data collection tools were talent management questionnaire (2007), Albrecht organizational intelligence questionnaire (2003), Goleman emotional intelligence questionnaire (2000) and Ang and Earley cultural intelligence (2004). Findings: Data were analyzed using the SPSS and Amos software. Pearson correlation results showed that there is a significant positive relationship between emotional intelligence and its components with talent management. There is also a significant positive relationship between organizational intelligence and its components with talent management, as well as there is a significant positive relationship between cultural intelligence and its components with talent management. Structural equation modeling results showed that emotional intelligence variable (0.24%) explained the highest cultural intelligence variance. Conclusion: Therefore, the results of the study suggest that by increasing emotional, organizational and cultural intelligence among the faculty members of Azad University, talent management will be also improved

The current study aimed to evaluate the content of the English textbooks taught in Iranian senior high schools. To this purpose, the study relied upon a descriptive survey design. Through a stratified random sampling, a total of 12 senior high schools were selected from the high schools located in Isfahan. To select the teacher participants, a convenience sampling method was employed. Then, a structured questionnaire was administered to the selected teachers and students. The obtained data were statistically analyzed and item analysis revealed that the accessibility and affordability of the textbooks were the most-favored features. However, most of the students wondered whether the textbooks were equipped with supplementary (online and offline) materials. The post-hoc analysis results revealed the significant overall teacher-student disagreement towards the textbooks. Generally, the results showed that there is a need to adapt the teaching materials to the target situation of use. As a practical implication, the findings may urge the developers of the textbooks to launch a modification project in order to get more conscious in developing future textbooks. Moreover, the findings are of use for the teachers of the textbooks as well as the pedagogical policy makers. 

The current study used cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in the form of rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) intervention on irrational beliefs and anxiety of adolescent girls with social anxiety. A quasi-experimental design was utilized in this study, which involved a control group, a pre-test, and a post-test of samples taken from clinics in Tehran, of which 28 adolescent girls with social anxiety were selected through a purposive sampling method from November to January 2020. There were 14 participants in each of the experimental and control groups. Afterward, they were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) and The Attitudes and Belief Scale 2 (ABS-2) were applied as pre-intervention phases. The experimental group (n=14) was treated with rational-emotive behavior therapy, for ten weekly 90 minutes sessions, while the control group (n=14) did not receive any treatment. As part of descriptive statistics, we used indices such as means and standard deviations that assessed central and dispersion. The test for inferential statistics was the repeated measure ANCOVA. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software (version 25). The significance level of the analysis was 0.05. Considering the results, there was a significant difference between the pretest and post-test results for irrational belief (89.44±34.82) and anxiety (81.67±27.09)indicating that the experimental group’s post-test scores were higher relative to their pre-test scores. Moreover, the experimental group’s post-test scores of anxiety decreased from the pre-test (81.67±27.09) to the post-test (52.48±15.54).
