چکیده
هدف این تحقیق ارائه الگوی ساختاری توسعه مهارت های نرم بایسته در دانشجویان کشاورزی بود. در این راستا، از رویکردی آمیخته (کیفی- کمی) استفاده شد. در بخش کیفی پژوهش، داده‌ها از طریق مصاحبه های نیمه ساختاریافته با 19 تن از اعضای هیئت علمی رشته‌های کشاورزی خبره در موضوع پژوهش با روش نمونه گیری هدفمند و گلوله برفی گردآوری شد. در این فاز، از رویکرد نظریه داده بنیان جهت طراحی الگوی اولیه پژوهش استفاده گردید. جهت آزمون الگوی حاصل‌شده، در بخش کمی پژوهش، پس از تأیید پایایی و روایی پرسشنامه تحقیق، داده‌ها از 384 تن از دانشجویان سال چهارم مقطع کارشناسی رشته های کشاورزی گردآوری شد. جهت ارزیابی الگوی پژوهش، از مدل سازی معادلات ساختاری با رویکرد حداقل مربعات جزئی استفاده شد. نتایج پژوهش، الگوی پژوهش را تایید کرد. بر اساس این مدل، عوامل موثر بر مهارت های نرم و پیامد های مهارت های نرم بایسته برای دانشجویان کشاورزی روشن گردید.

چکیده [English]
The following research aims to provide a structural model for the development of essential soft skills in agricultural students. In this regard, a mixed approach (qualitative-quantitative) was used. In the qualitative part of the research, the data was collected through semi-structured interviews with 19 Participants (faculty members of agricultural majors) who are expert in the subject of research. Participants were selected using purposeful and snowball sampling methods. In qualitative phase, "grounded theory strategy" was used to design the initial model of the research. In the quantitative part of the research, after confirming the reliability and validity of the instrument, data were collected from 384 of the senior students of agricultural majors. In order to evaluate the research model, Structural equation modeling with partial least squares approach was used. The results of the research confirmed the research model. Based on this model, the factors affecting on essential soft skills and essential soft skills consequences for agricultural students were clarified.
