This study aimed to identify and validate the organizational vigor creation model in the universities. In order to identify factors affecting the organizational vigor, after a focused literature review the consensus of the experts' opinion was explored. This information was placed in the form of a set of causal, intervening, axial, underlying, facilitating, strategic conditions and their outcomes by multiple codings based on granded theory model. These data were collected from 169 experts by snowball sampling method and the hypotheses were tested. For checking validity and reliability of the designed model SmartPLS and Spss softwares were used. Finally the relationships of these variables were presented based on the path analysis model. Based on the obtained results, Organizational vigor creation model, university growth has a significant effect on the strategic management of human resources; also, strategic management of human resources, intervening conditions and organizational support in resolving work-family conflict have a significant effect on university branding, and the latter also has a positive and significant effect on the vigorous state of human resources of the universities. The results of fitting showed that the model proposed in this study has good validity and fit. The significance, implications and limitations of results have also been deliberated for further research.

Since financial service provider organizations, especially banks work in an environment with indistinct products, quality of their services is the first competitive tool. This research aimed at examining the impact of total quality management on profitability of Mehr-Egtesad Bank and Saderat Bank. For doing so, six hypotheses were tested. The research statistical population consisted of 135 individuals. The research sample size was 100 individuals chosen via Cochran formula (limited population). The data were collected by a standard questionnaire including 27 items with six scales. The questionnaires were distributed among 100 managers and employees of the mentioned banks. The research main variables factors were identified by exploratory factor analysis and then the hypotheses were evaluated by Lisrel software using structural equations modeling. The results showed a positive impact of total quality management in Mehr-Egtesad Bank and Saderat Bank confirmed by previous research results.

This research is conducted to study the effect of personality on purchase decision of domestic and foreign consumers in order to predict the consumer’s purchase decision. This is a survey studied the relationship between variables through statistical tests and structural equations method. Data were collected by the standard questionnaire of ‘measuring the behavior of buyers and consumers’ including 36 items; the questionnaire validity and reliability was verified. Research variables are the standard questionnaire items in two questionnaires and 9 classes of variables. Research statistical population included all buyers visiting Proma Hypermarket and Padide shopping center in Mashhad in 2015. The research used a two-stage cluster sampling method. 280 buyers visiting the shopping centers were systematically and randomly selected as research sample at the given time period. Results of structural equations showed that components of Ethnocentrism, dogmatism, social character, uniqueness, personal innovativeness, compatibility, detachedness, and hegemonism significantly contribute in purchase decision model; while, dogmatism are insignificant.
