The idea of "social capital" for the first time entered in to the literature of sociology by social scientists as social wealth and social income. Social capital is an interdisciplinary concept among economics, sociology and political sciences which has a valued approach towards social interactions in the goals achievement which are not just social but political and economical in nature. Such capital is created by interactions between people in a social relation network. Social capital refers to the links and communication between members of a network in which the creation of norms and mutual trust brought about fulfillment of goals. It should be noted that without social capital, following the path of development and cultural and economical fulfillment will be difficult and uneven. Nowadays, organizational social capital is considered to be one of the most prominent issues of organization management which plays a more key role than human and physical capital. The networks of public and group relations include cohesion among people in an organization and also between people and the organization. In this paper it is intended to measure the social capital at the university as a complex network of social interactions. The research method is a field survey based on questionnaire. The results show that among students whom are studied, age of the student, tendency towards the religious practices and the year of entry to university are the most significant effective factors in the level of their social capital. Considering the academic staff of the university, only the tendency towards religious practices influenced their level of social capital.

This article is extracted from a research which is conducted between 2006 (proposal, explanatory studies, theoretical and empirical literature) and 2007 (data collection and analysis). The researchers were confronted with two main questions: firstly, what is the situation of the statistical population (teachers of Zanjan city) on the injustice scale? Secondly, which variables among belonging affection, deprivation perception, in-organizational justice, job prestige, region of residency and educational level, are significantly correlated with injustice affection and which one has stronger correlation? Theoretical basics for developing a multivariate hypothesis were two theoretical approaches: exchange theory and relative deprivation theory. In addition, the empirical literature has had a role in entering some variables into the hypothesized model. The research method is survey in which 271 cases out of 1525 teachers who were working in Zanjan city during the research period were interviewed based on a quota sampling design and by the usage of valid and reliable questionnaire. All sample cases were classified into three groups who have injustice affection, justice affection and moderate status. The results show that about 91%, 5%, and 2% were classified into the mentioned three groups respectively. Others could not be classified because of inaccurate responses to questions. The estimation of the global goodness-of-fit indices and the structural and measurement coefficients totally confirmed the model, although there are some recommendations for modification of the hypothesized model.

I would like to point out the major characteristics of communicative novel« Persian Letters » in the 1721. For the developing of social-educative purposes, he made a comparison with the cultural atmosphere of Iran, for the sake of natural thoughtful human’s understanding instead of cultivated human of the 17th century who didn’t think deeply. Supposing judgment of Eastern foreigners about the social structure of the French and the entire Europe, Montesquieu paved the way for his reaction towards his universal point of view among signs and phenomenon, not only published the everlasting philosophical piece of work “Esprit des Lois” in 1745 which was formed regarding to this novel but also his contemporaries such as Voltaire influenced by these clear- view purposes, moreover gave consistency to his philosophical notions in order to penetrate the public culture. Therefore, researches on rational humanities about individuality and its influence on training women, also in religion and politics, considering the geographical conditions were used like a copy machine. Educational and social rules which were created at the end of 18th century, the time of revolution, one of whose founder is him did not reach the end in the same way, based on the will of intellectuals. Defections and misinterpretations of cultural investigations and incompletely formed teachings brought other cultural challenges for humanities, but opened a new season as humanity in 19th century. Researches on epistemology which found its rational way from this era, have passed long way of three hundred years besides universal theories and still being in existential ups and downs, continued those investigations. The eagerness for Iranology entered a new era from that date.
