A total of 200 professors were selected based on stratified random sampling method. Factor analysis by principal component analysis and orthogonal rotation (varimax) was conducted and the analysis showed 4 dimensions including educational, research, communication and administrative-managerial factors. A total Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.88. And for other factors were calculated as 0.82 and 0.79, 0.89, 0.72, respectively. In addition, confirmatory factor analysis using fit indices in 4 factors has been confirmed.
