Abstract The data of the present research was initially collected by using research findings systematic review for the study of the organizational factors effective on teachers’ efficiency and motivation. Then the meta-analysis method was used to respond to questions. The statistical population of this research includes all researches which were conducted inside Iran in the field of factors effective on teachers’ efficiency and motivation between 1996 to 2016. On this basis, the statistical population was identified and relevant data was coded by internet research in internal data banks and also manual search in Tehran universities. Finally, 18 studies were included in the present meta-analysis.  To collect the required data meta-analysis, worksheet form was used. Data analysis results show that the size index of studies compound effect was 0.10 under the fixed model and 0.17 under the random model. In the separation study of the size of variables effect, the organization health factors, organizational climate, students’ motivation, director’s attention, and relationship-oriented management style, had the highest effect on the teachers’ efficiency and motivation, respectively. In egger’s regression method, the regression constant was estimated equal to 0.01 which its level of significance is less than 0.05; therefore according to the egger’s regression, publication bias exists. Also, moderating analysis was done for variables of publication year and place of carrying out the research which shows the ineffectiveness of moderating variables of the year of conduction of the research and the place of conduction of the research on the studies’ results.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to present a model of university autonomy with reason and cause approaches to university efficiency. In terms of purpose, this study was applied with a mixed approach (qualitative and quantitative) and with an exploratory design. In the qualitative part, the semi-structured interview method was used and in the quantitative part, the descriptive method was used. Statistical population in the qualitative section of expert professors in the field of research that 10 people were selected as a statistical sample using purposive sampling method and taking into account the law of saturation. The statistical population in the quantitative section was all full-time professors of Mazandaran Azad University, which were selected as a statistical sample based on the scientific rank of 308 people. For data collection, the researcher-made questionnaire of university independence with 73 questions and the organizational performance questionnaire of Pin Priyang and Sing Sai with 21 questions were used. Validity was calculated and confirmed after the approval of the professors and the reliability of the tools approach (reason oriented 0.85, cause oriented 0.82 and organizational efficiency 0.89). Theme analysis was used to analyze qualitative data and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests, t-test, exploratory factor analysis and structural equations were used to analyze quantitative data. The results showed that; University autonomy with reason and cause approaches has a positive and significant effect on university efficiency.
