Transformational leadership is a process that seeks to improve employee behaviors and behaviors by changing the mind and heart; developing insights, awareness and understanding; clarifying goals; aligning behaviors with beliefs, ethics, or values. The purpose of this study was to investigate and analyze the current state of transformational leadership in public universities. The statistical population of this study consisted of all faculty members and staff of public universities. Due to the size of the statistical population, a sample size of 358 was selected by stratified random sampling. Transformational Leadership Status Questionnaire was developed using the standard Multivariate Transformational Leadership Questionnaire (form 5X MLQ) with the dimensions of ideal influence, subjective motivation, inspirational motivation, and individual considerations. Structural validity, confirmatory factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha coefficient were used to determine the validity and reliability. Data analysis was performed by SPSS software and univariate t-test, independent t-test and ANOVA. The results of the tests showed that there is a significant difference between the average status of transformational leadership and the expected status of transformational leadership at the error level of less than one percent and with 99% confidence. Therefore, the status of transformational leadership in public universities is significant. It is rated below average.

Nowadays, non-governmental organizations, such as charities and citizen-based organizations, are operating in all countries with different purposes and shapes, and a large portion of their employee workforce consists of volunteers. Therefore, human resource management and concerns about the retention of human resources in these organizations are different from other organizations such as government agencies. The purpose of this qualitative study is to identify the effective factors in the retention of intergenerational volunteers in charitable organizations in the city of Shiraz. After interviewing 10 young and 10 middle-aged volunteers of 9 charities in Shiraz, selected by the judgmental sampling method, theoretical saturation in terms of sample size was obtained. In this study, semi-structured interview is used as data collection tool and data analysis was done by utilizing the theme analysis method. After reviewing and organizing interview transcriptions, the researcher identified the basic codes or concepts, and then similar codes were placed in special categories, each having a representing title. The identified data was classified and combined based on the degree of conceptual similarity, resulting in the extraction of 24 sub-themes and 5 main themes. The findings indicate that the main themes of motivation, human resource management, management and leadership, culture creation, and communication are effective factors in the retention of volunteers in both young and middle-aged generations, and the difference among these factors in the two generations was the importance of each of the main and sub-themes.

The expert workforce is essential for the achievement of successes on both macro and micro levels. Consequently, due to the changes in the demographics of population and society, the postponement of the retirement age of employees is a significant issue.This research has adopted an interpretive or constructivist research philosophy and the multi-grounded theory research strategy of Goldkuhl & Cronholm. Semi-structured interviews were utilized as the data collection method and theoretical sampling was conducted from the research community which included employees of the Ministry of Energy who have postponed their retirement. Thirty participants were interviewed. It’s also noteworthy that the research is practical in terms of its purpose.The findings of this research demonstrate that the model of postponing the retirement age of employees in the Ministry of Energy is primarily based on job conditions, as well as factors such as environmental, organizational, and individual contexts and organizational, individual, and governmental causal conditions. Some of the obstacles in this model include the direct intervention of the government and the circumvention of the law, which ultimately leads to a multitude of positive and negative consequences. The economic pressures, the issue of population aging, and the increased ratio of elderly people to young people will reduce the labor force and create difficulties for governments and various organizations, including the Ministry of Energy and pension funds. Hence, the adoption of the issue of postponing retirement age and keeping more of the labor force is a possible solution due to the positive outcomes it may potentially yield in the economic, social, organizational, and individual fields and aspects.

The aim of the present study was to identify the causes of organizational disclosure and the reasons of unwillingness to disclose in governmental organizations that was done via sequential-explanatory mixed mode method. Participants in the qualitative part were managers and employees in public sectors among whom 75 people were selected as participants through purposeful sampling method. The statistical population of the quantitative sector included employees in governmental organizations in Semnan and 157 people were selected as samples through simple random sampling method. Analyzing the data in qualitative sector led to the identification of 32 basic themes in the context of employees’ disclosing reasons that were arranged in six organizer themes (health-centered approach, benefit-seeking approach, justice-seeking approach, ethics-oriented approach, task-oriented approach, and violent approach), and 26 basic themes about unwillingness to disclose were identified which divided into four organizer themes based on semantic similarity (organization-related factors, discloser- related factors, exposure related factors, violent-related factors). The results of the quantitative analysis show that justice-seeking, ethics-oriented, health-centered, benefit-seeking, task-oriented and violent approaches were the most important reasons for the decision to disclose respectively, and exposure related factors, organization-related factors, violent-related factors and discloser- related factors were the most important causes of being silent against observing inappropriate behaviors, respectively. The ranking of items related to the causes of disclosure indicates that the prevention of repetition of violation and feeling of injustice to oneself and sense of responsibility are considered as the most important causes of disclosure and disappointment of executive guarantee in case of disclosure of violation, high influence of the offender and lack of organizational support for exposing are considered as the main reasons for being silent against violation.

To develop the model, first consider research questions, in the form of literature, approaches and models of performance management with performance management in three different levels, including the strategic level, the organizational level and the staff were studied. Then, using qualitative content analysis, content extracted from the scientific literature in the form of three levels and ultimately classified and coded the content networks were drawn. Finally, using any of the methods of qualitative, comprehensive model was extracted. According to the analysis conducted thematic and typology, a total of 27 variables were identified that each of the three levels: strategic, organization and personnel respectively 11, 8 and 8 respectively variable. Finally to validate and test the model,27 persons inferred variables, In a questionnaire survey were adjusted and experts, All the data collected was analyzed using LISREL software and extract variables as well as research prototype has been approved.

This study examines internal audit effectiveness in public sector management and it’s challenges. Research statistical society were used from internal audit directors and staff from university of Payame Noor financial, administrative and budgetary departments and sample elected from province center and central organization of Payame Noor University. Internal audit effectiveness in public sector tested with implementing variables such as organizational independence, formal mandate, unrestricted access, sufficient funding, management perception from internal auditing, competent staff, management support and compliance with professional audit standards. Results show that internal audit effectiveness is positively related to compliance with professional audit standards, unrestricted access, formal mandate, top management support and competent staff. We found no relation between organizational independence and management perception from internal auditing with internal audit effectiveness.Sufficient funding has a positive relation with control function of and negative relation by risk management function. Based on conclusions it’s suggested that internal audit standards should codify and this principle requires top management support and trained staff. Internal audit as a culture should be going in public organizations where the financial and non-financial unrestricted access of them is possible and they have organizational independence.

This study sought to design a framework for teaching foresight to top managers of governmental organizations in the Islamic Republic of Iran. First, the research literature in three areas of "management of governmental organizations", "foresight" and "teaching foresight" was reviewed. Then, using the "Grounded Theory" method and using the "in-depth interview" tool, first-hand data were collected. This data in three different phases, through "open coding, axial coding and selective coding", were analyzed. Based on the research findings, a general framework for teaching foresight to top managers of Iranian governmental organizations was presented in which in addition to the category of foresight education as a axial category, other categories related to this field such as causal conditions, contextual conditions, intervening conditions, strategies and consequences were also introduced. Therefore, this macro framework can be used as a general model for teaching foresight to top managers of governmental organizations in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
