Determining the Role of Reengineering on Staff Development (Case Study: Faculties of Social and Behavioral Sciences of University of Tehran)

This research was an attempt to determine the role of reengineering on staff development through a descriptive-correlational method. The statistical population of this study included all staff of Faculties of Social and Behavioral Sciences of University of Tehran (N=303). Cochran Formula was used to determine the sample size (N=162) who were selected using proportional stratified sampling method. The data were collected through two questionnaires of Researcher-made Reengineering Questionnaire and Staff Development Questionnaire (Athari et al., 2012). The validity of the forenamed questionnaires was confirmed by experts’ opinions. Besides, their Cronbach’s Alpha Coefficients were calculated as 0.91 and 0.88, respectively. The data were analyzed using One Sample T-test, Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Structural Equation Modeling methods. Research findings showed that: a) the status of reengineering and staff development across Faculties of Social and Behavioral Sciences of University of Tehran were above the hypothetical mean value, b) there was a significant relationship between reengineering status and staff development across Social and Behavioral Sciences of University of Tehran, c) reengineering variable was capable to determine staff development variable across Social and Behavioral Sciences of University of Tehran.
