(Validating the Return on Expectations Evaluating Model (ROE

The purpose of this paper is to validate the Return on Expectations Evaluation Model (ROE). The study population was the stakeholders of training program at IRIB which 465 of them were selected by proportional stratified random sampling. The content validity of the measurement tool was based on the expert's view, and CVI and CVR forms, and its reliability was based on the Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.975. Collected data were analyzed using the structural equation modeling and LIZREL software. The results of the first-order confirmatory factor analysis indicated that path coefficients between all variables were significant at P<0.01 level. The results of the second-order factor analysis and path analysis, while fitting the model, showed that 17 path coefficients of the hypothesized between the different variables of the model were significant at p<0.05 level. The ROE model adapt to the latest developments in the field of training evaluation. It is result and process-oriented model, provides a new definition of the training effectiveness concept based on stakeholder expectations for training programs, and can evaluate the effectiveness of IRIB training programs based on that organization stakeholders' expectations.
