For example, the research method was descriptive-correlation with emphasis on structural equations. The statistical population of the study consisted of all employees of the University of Tehran (3237 people). Cochran’s formula was used to determine the sample size and 343 people were selected as the sample. They were selected through using the proportionate stratified method. Data were collected based on three questionnaires of reengineering, organizational learning and organizational performance that their Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.87, 0.92 and 0.88, respectively, and their face and content validity was approved by the specialists. Data analysis was performed using SPSS and LISREL software. Research results should be mentioned briefly. There is no need for numbers.

Organizational performance [5] is identified as a measure of productivity and effectiveness of an organization (Gadot, 2006). How employees perform accurately and comprehensively is one of the main focuses of human resource research (Wang & et al, 2008). The growing trend of competition in organizations, especially educational organizations, has made the achievement of competitive advantage more complex and improving organizational performance is one of the main concerns of senior managers of educational organizations. Organizational performance is the most important issue for for-profit and non-profit organizations, and knowing the factors affecting organizational performance is very important for managers, because it is important to take the right steps in the beginning (Barney, 1991). In today’s world, where we are witnessing dramatic changes and developments in various fields, the environment is facing a lot of turmoil and uncertainty. Competition has intensified, the life cycle of businesses and products has been shortened (Kroeger, 2007: 6-7), and organizations have faced many challenges and developments that traditional structures and hierarchical and inflexible features are not able to respond to. Therefore, today’s organizations have no choice but to change their way of thinking, attitude and perception.
Of course, it means changes that are comprehensive and favorable and move the organization to improve performance. (Zahabioun & Yousefi, 2007). Survival in such changing environments is possible only by achieving superior organizational performance, which requires attention to the factors affecting organizational performance (Kroeger, 2007: 6-7); Which can be achieved from different paths (Ahmad & Schroeder, 2003). Therefore, organizations for success and survival need to create a position, system and structure that both use the capacity and commitment of human resources at all levels of the organization and lead to continuous learning and effective application of knowledge in the organization (Alipour & et al, 2011 ; Demers, 2009). Accordingly, re-engineering [6] and organizational learning [7], which both seek to adapt to environmental changes and take advantage of opportunities to improve and increase the quality of organizational performance as a new concept and strategy have entered management.
Literature Review
(((It is necessary for the researcher to refer to 3 to 5 external and internal researches related to his / her research that he / she uses in the discussion and conclusion section. In the literature review, it is necessary to mention the researcher’s name, the year of the research and the most important results of that research.
At the end of the literature review, the researcher should point out the most important questions or hypotheses that s/he addresses in the findings section and mentions the conceptual model of her/his research by expressing the main variables.
Research Methods
In the methodology section, the researcher should choose the type of research method, community or field of study, sample and sampling method, data collection tools (who made it, year of tool development, number of questions or its content, dimensions, grading method, validity and reliability) the method and approach in data analysis should be stated. If it is mixed research method, all components of qualitative methodology (type of study approach, type of qualitative method and why to use, field of study and sample, selection method, coding method or approach in data analysis and interpretation, etc.) and Quantitative (type of method, statistical population, sample and sampling method, data collection tools, validity and reliability of tools, data analysis method) should be mentioned distinctively. Of course, in methodology, the principle of brevity must be observed, that is, while the explanations are brief, but all the components of the methodology must be mentioned. For example as follows:
The present research is applied in terms of aim, descriptive-correlative in terms of data collection and is based on structural equation modeling (SEM [8]). The statistical population of this research was .... sampling method .... data collection tools including .... data analysis method was also with
Findings
(((In the findings section, the researcher should answer the same questions or hypotheses raised before the methodology. While re-designing the question or hypothesis, their answers are provided in the form of tables, diagrams and explanations. The descriptions are as follows: The format of the tables should be as follows: The title and number of the table should be specified and the top of it should be in the center text format. The description of each table should be given below it. The title and number of the diagram and figure should be given below that diagram))).
Descriptive findings related to the mean, standard deviation and also the correlation coefficient between the research variables are shown in Table 1. These results show that the average of reengineering (2.67) and organizational learning (2.51) is lower than the average (number 3 in the 5-point Likert Scale) and the average of organizational performance (3.03) is average (number 3 in the 5 point Likert Scale); therefore, all three variables are far from their desired level. The correlation results show that there is a positive and statistically significant relationship between reengineering with organizational learning (r = 0.52) and organizational performance (r = 0.60) at the level of 0.01 and also organizational learning and organizational performance (r = 0.63) have a positive and significant relationship at the level of 0.01.

Discussion and conclusion
(((In the discussion and conclusion section, the result of each question or hypothesis should be mentioned and this result should be compared with the results of similar research in terms of consistency or inconsistency, and then the result should be interpreted. Some practical suggestions should be given) )).
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of reengineering on organizational performance with the mediating role of organizational learning. The first findings of this study indicate that reengineering has a positive and significant relationship with organizational learning and organizational performance as well as organizational learning with organizational performance, since the relationship between research variables was significant, structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to investigate the impact of reengineering on organizational learning and organizational performance as well as the impact of organizational learning on organizational performance. Model processing indices showed that the designed structural model has good processing in all indices. Also, the study of standardized values and T values of research variables with direct and indirect effects based on the structural model paths confirmed the research hypotheses.
In the final bibliography, some important points should be considered:
(((First, the sources in the text and the end should be completely consistent. The exact APA style should be observed. The format of the journal should be observed. The Latin specifications of Persian sources should be given. Exactly the same feature that is on the cover of the work, not the author’s translation should be considered. Persian sources should include the phrase [in Persian]. Articles should have the name of the journal, period and issue in italics. Books should have italic titles. In dissertations, the title of the dissertation should be italic.. Be sure to refer to the Quarterly New Approach in Educational Management))).
