The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of emotional exhaustion in the relationship between performance management and teacher performance.

This research is applied in terms of purpose, descriptive in research method and correlational type and the statistical population of this research consists of school teachers in Bavanat city, whose number is equal to 400 people. To select the sample size using the Cochran's formula, a sample of 200 people was selected through stratified random sampling proportionate to volume. The standard questionnaire of Van Waeyenberg et al. (2020) was used to measure emotional exhaustion, teacher performance and performance management. The internal consistency of the questionnaire was assessed through Cronbach's alpha coefficient and its composite reliability and its validity via construct and content validity. The research hypotheses were analyzed using structural equation modeling technique.

The results showed that performance management has a positive and significant effect on teacher performance and a significant negative effect on emotional exhaustion. The results also showed that emotional exhaustion plays a mediating role in the relationship between performance management and teacher performance. So when teachers are emotionally committed to school and education, they work harder and perform better.

Schools are one of the most important pillars of development in every country because they train specialized and efficient human resources for each country, but the coronavirus epidemic has also affected all organizations and the mission of schools and the education system. The purpose of this study was to investigate the components and dimensions of the mission of schools in post-corona conditions in order to propose a written program for managing post-corona conditions in schools.

The qualitative research approach is based on the grounded theory. The statistical population included all principals and deputies of elementary schools in Kermanshah province. The statistical population included specialists in the field of educational management. In order to collect qualitative data, 14 experts in the field of educational management were interviewed. In this study, purposive sampling method was used. The sampling method purposefully continued until the researcher reached a theoretical saturation using semi-structured interviews with sample members.

Using the results of the theoretical foundations and research background, reviewing the documents and analyzing the content of the interviews, the components and dimensions of the school mission were identified. During these three phases, 148 open codes, 2 pivotal codes and 5 elective codes were identified. The mission of schools in the post-corona conditions included five missions of maintaining mental and physical health, improving financial and economic status, promoting education and culture, providing counseling and the mission of continuous evaluation.

The results showed that schools in post-corona era have missions that must first be identified and then acted upon to advance the goals of education.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of cooperative teaching method on the development of social skills in students' social studies course.

To achieve this goal, fifth grade elementary school female students in the city of Estahban (2019-2020) have been studied. This is a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test post-test design and it has experimental and control groups. All of the fifth grade elementary school female students in Estahban (2019-2020) were the statistical population of this study, among which 59 students were selected through convenience sampling method. Before the process of learning, a Gresham and Elliott Social Skills Questionnaire (teacher and student form) (1990) was run as a pre-test in both groups. The data was analyzed using a covariance analysis in SPSS.

The results of this study show that the Collaborative Teaching Method, with an error tolerance of 0.05, has a significant effect on the development of all components of the students’ social skills, including cooperation, assertiveness, self-control and empathy, and this method is more effective than other traditional teaching methods on the students' social skills.

Since the collaborative teaching method has a great impact on the development of student’s social skills, it is a good alternative to the traditional teaching method.

Perceived organizational ethics and justice of teachers is always dependent on the use of conflict management styles by principals. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between school principals' conflict management styles and perceived organizational ethics and justice.

A descriptive-correlational research method was used to study the variables. The statistical population consisted of all secondary school teachers in Isfahan city with 3537 people in the academic year 2017-2018. The sampling method was multi-stage cluster sampling based on the Cochran's sample size formula and 347 people were randomly selected for the study. The research tool consisted of four categories of questionnaires: Conflict Management Styles Questionnaire (Robbins, 2010), Niehoff and Moorman Organizational Justice Questionnaire (2003), School Principals Ethics Questionnaire (Haj Khazime, 2016) and Standard Organizational Belonging Questionnaire (Andre, 2010). Two levels of descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean) and inferential statistics (Kalmogorov-Smirnov tests, Pearson correlation, stepwise multiple regression and structural equation modeling) were used to analyze the data.

The results showed that there is a significant relationship between conflict management styles in five dimensions (dominance or competition, collaboration, avoidance, tolerance, compromise) with professional ethics and perceived organizational justice at the level of P <0.05. Sense of organizational belonging mediates the relationship between five-dimensional conflict management styles with perceived professional ethics and organizational justice at the P <0.05 level. The proposed experimental model has a suitable fit.

it can be concluded that in order to improve organizational ethics and justice perceived by teachers, principals should use the conflict management style of cooperation and compromise and should avoid resisting or confronting teachers' opinions.
