Abstract

The purpose of this study was to test the relationship between the role of educational groups and the quality of teachers' performance with the mediating role of their empowerment in Yasuj high schools. The study was a correlational study. Participants included 201 teachers (111 males, 90 females) Yasuj high schools in the academic year of 93-92 who were selected by stratified sampling. All of them completed the scale of the role of educational groups, the quality of performance, and empowerment. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling using LISREL software. The findings showed that the role of educational groups directly affects structural empowerment. The role of the training groups directly has a structural effect on the quality of the work. The role of educational groups indirectly affects the quality of performance through the empowerment mediator. We conclude that the role of educational groups can be directly empowered and affect the quality of performance. Also, the role of educational groups indirectly and through empowerment can affect the quality of performance. The implications of the findings were discussed.
