With increasing organizational complexities, the best survey and survey practices have been challenged and survey research has evolved. Continuous listening refers to a survey plan that uses multiple surveys and plans more frequently than a single point in a biennial, annual, or shorter period to provide data. Following the flow of continuous listening in the organization, the focus of psychometrics specialists are directed to continuous survey or pulse surveys. The purpose of this research was to know the current and future status of employee surveys in public and private organizations and companies in Iran from the point of view of HR specialists of the organization. For this purpose, a survey was conducted for two months between July and September of 2022. The statistical population of this study was all public and private organizations and companies of Iran that had official activities in 2022. In order to obtain a representative sample, the purposeful stratified sampling method was used to collect the required data from companies and organizations of different sizes in different industries. The results show that improvements in all aspects of the pulse survey cycle, from design and deployment to reporting and analysis, and providing more timely and relevant data, have caused organizations to move away from their traditional survey approach and align with the growth of new technologies towards Pulse surveys are inclined. However, it appears that surveys of Iranian organizations and companies under study are evolving more slowly than the scientific resources and popular media want us to believe.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to develop and validate the reflective leadership assessment instruments at schools. Literature review suggests, although reflective learning is not new knowledge, reflective leadership is a novel approach at school management and leadership, and in few studies in this field have not established valid tools for revealing this concept at schools. Extensive research literature review, the dimensions and statements of the principals’ reflective leadership scale were stablished based on Castelli’s (2012) reflective leadership model, and the data was compiled with the participation of 327 secondary teachers. Along with the face and content validity assessment of the itemsand dimensions by educational management practitioners, teachers and applying their views, participants' comments on the ambiguity, repetition, and relationship of the statements with the concepts and dimensions through the implementation of the scale in pilot study were applied. Results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis show that 29 items are in five factors: sense of safeness, openness, purpose, challenging beliefs and feedback provide reflective leadership measurement tools. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was calculated for each factor and the total reliabilityy was estimated 0.97. This study is a pioneer research in measuring principals’ reflective leadership at schools. Reflective leadership is a fundamental factor in the positivist paradigm shift to interpretation at Iranian schools. Research findings for education practitioner will be useful in assessing and deploying reflective leadership at schools.
