Not only identify and classify dimensions and components of Staff development is important but also identify methods. This study aimed to identify methods of staff development in higher education system. This study was descriptive survey. The study population included all staff of Islamic Azad University in Region 8 in 2016(N=3812) .The sample size were 203 individuals base on Cochran formula by using classified random sampling. The data was collected via researcher-made questionnaire. Cranach's alpha coefficient was used to determine reliability (0.96). The data were analyzed using factor analysis. The findings showed that 5 methods influence on staff development such as Inter-university, extra-University, formal, informal and group method which factors can be explained 67.625% of total variance. The most power to explain was related to informal method (18.02%) and the least power to explain was related to formal methods (10.92%). Higher administrators need to use several methods such as informal, group development, Inter-university, extra-University methods influence.

When it comes to ethics and observance of the ethics of research, it means that research should not only have the appropriate method, but also be morally defensible. The purpose of this study was to provide a model for the promotion of research ethics in the commercialization of academic research of Islamic Azad universities in Ardebil. The research method was applied in terms of purpose and in terms of type of mixed data of exploratory type. The statistical population of the research qualitative section included the experts and academic experts and those with executive posts in the field of commercialization, which had an executive background at decision-making levels, and the researchers had books and articles in this field that, using Purposeful sampling method and saturation principle of ten people were selected as sample size. The second group of the statistical population of this study, which included all faculty members of faculty and academic degree of Islamic Azad University of Ardabil in the year 1395, was 537 people. Using multistage and relative cluster sampling method and Cochran formula, 172 persons were used as volume Sample selected. In this research, the library method, semi-structured interview (qualitative section) and researcher-made questionnaire (quantitative section) were used to collect data. The interview with the experts indicated that the interview was valid, and a reliable method was used to calculate the reliability of the two coders. The results indicated that the interview was valid and valid. In order to evaluate the validity of the questionnaire, face validity, content and construct were used. To determine the reliability of the questionnaire, Cronbach's alpha coefficient and combined reliability were used. Results indicated that the validity and reliability of the researcher made questionnaire were used. Content analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data of the research. In the quantitative part, according to the research questions, descriptive and inferential statistics (structural equation modeling, exploratory factor analysis, and one-sample t-test) were used and analyzed using Spss and Amos software. The results showed that components of research ethics include individual, environmental and organizational components, and commercialization components include individual, environmental and management components. The model presented in the research was fit to fit and the research findings also showed that among components of research ethics, individual and environmental components, and among components of commercialization, individual and managerial components are not in desirable condition. While the organizational component in research ethics and environmental component in commercialization has a relatively favorable status.
