Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the components affecting the recruitment of faculty members and provide a model. In terms of practical purpose and data, a mixed descriptive approach was used. The statistical population consisted of a small number of all faculty members of the Technical and Vocational University. The sample group was selected from Krejcie and Morgan Table and 132 people were selected by stratified random sampling method. The research community of the qualitative sector included experts in the field of recruitment. The method used was conscious sampling which is a targeted type of snowball sampling method where information was saturated in 30 people. For the quantitative aspect of the research, Cronbach's alpha was measured and the total alpha was 0.90. Its validity was performed through simultaneous validity and CVR. In the qualitative section of the research, national and international documents were reviewed and matched with the findings of the quantitative section. In order to determine the internal validity of the findings, in addition to studying the theoretical foundations and interviewing focal individuals, the opinions of a group of experts were also taken into account. To obtain the external validity of the findings, theoretical saturation techniques were used. The findings of the quantitatively identified part of the study support the structures of the faculty recruitment model. The findings of the qualitative aspect of the research also confirm the findings of the quantitative sector, which showed that the relevant model includes the doctrinal, scientific, educational, research and technology dimensions, services, counseling, professional development, maturity and leadership abilities.
