Data collection was done by a researcher-made questionnaire of personal development with reliability (α = 0.90) and its content validity was also verified. The results of the qualitative section showed that individual development consisted of seven dimensions of individual factors, organizational factors, managerial factors, development process and strategies of individual development, and ultimately the results of individual development.
