The purpose of the present study was the pathology of outsourcing challenges of civil registration service in Bushehr Province. It is positivist in terms of paradigm, applied in terms of purpose, and descriptive survey in terms of type. The statistical population consisted of experts from the General Directorate of Status Registration of Bushehr province. This research was performed in two stages and in a mixed manner. Firstly, outsourcing challenges were extracted by analyzing scientific sources. Afterward, by forming a focus group and consulting the experts of the Civil Registration Organization, the ultimate indicators were prioritized through the Fuzzy method. Secondly, the extracted components and indicators were examined and ranked using the hierarchical technique. The research tool in both stages was a researcher-made questionnaire whose validity was confirmed by professors and experts in this field, and its reliability was evaluated and confirmed using the incompatibility rate (0.025). Findings in the first stage revealed that 19 out of 31 indicators are of higher weight for entering the second stage of the study. These indicators were divided into four general components: risk of duty, employees’ demotivation, devaluation of the organization, and diminishing control. Results demonstrated that diminishing control with a 0.367 score, duty with a 0.237 score, devaluation of organization with a 0.204 score, and demotivation with a 0.191 score were in the first to fourth places.

The aim of this research is to design a model for managing intergenerational conflicts among employees of the South-Iran Line Shipping Company. The current research is fundamentally oriented and exploratory in nature, using a qualitative approach. The research population consists of human resource management professors and managers of the South-Iran Line Shipping Company who were purposefully selected. This research utilized a data-driven approach, conducting interviews with 22 experts and scholars in the field of shipping, during which 436 open codes, 130 sub-themes, 18 main themes, and 6 core themes were extracted and identified using MAXQDA 2020 software.The results indicated that managerial and behavioral conflicts, structural conflicts, environmental (external to the organization) conflicts, and personal conflicts of employees are among the primary causes of intergenerational conflicts within the South-Iran Line Shipping Company. Additionally, the solutions and strategies proposed by experts include effective communication, cultural change, incentives, and conflict management. These solutions should be implemented considering contextual conditions such as organizational culture and structure, employee challenges, laws and regulations, and the weakness of the employee performance evaluation system. Moreover, among facilitating factors such as staff empowerment in reducing and eliminating negative conflicts and outsourcing to private sectors, these factors can make the implementation of solutions easier and faster. However, to achieve more desirable results, it is essential to address challenges and obstacles to resolving intergenerational conflicts, such as not utilizing modern leadership styles and dealing with significant age differences among colleagues.

The purpose of this study is to provide a behavioral entropy pattern in the organization. This research has been carried out in the framework of qualitative approach and using the research methodology of the Foundation. Data collection tools were semi-structured interviews and interviews were conducted using a targeted sampling method with 23 senior and middle managers of Isfahan municipality and academic experts familiar with organizational issues and organizational behaviors. Data analysis was performed in three stages: open coding, axial coding and selective coding. Based on this, a qualitative research model was designed. In this model, the most important causative factors were individual, organizational and environmental factors. The main phenomenon in entropy was the behavior of organizational injustice. The underlying factors included lack of organizational transparency, inappropriate socialization, lack of comparative leadership and organizational culture. The results showed that the weakness of communication systems, the silence of managers against the hackers and the hypocritical behaviors of managers and employees are the most important factors in intervention. Based on the results of the justification, the escape rule and the non-emotional-mental conflicts are the strategies of individuals in behavioral entropy. Finally, the entropy consequences of behavior were categorized in the form of five individual, organizational, group, family, and environmental consequences.

This study aimed to investigate and monitor the mediating role of career path development in the relationship between the reduction of perceived organizational justice and the glass ceiling. The research was descriptive-causal in terms of nature, applied in terms of purpose, and fundamental in terms of type. The data were collected by using questionnaires. The statistical population was all female education employees of Hashtgerd city, among whom 316 were selected through a random sampling method according to Gorjesi and Morgan tables. The confirmatory factor analysis to analyze the data and used path analysis of structural equations were applied to examine path coefficients with the help of Amos Graphics software estimates. According to the results of the path analysis, the overall effects of decreasing perceived interactive and procedural justice, career path development, and decreasing perceived distributive justice on the glass ceiling were significant, and they could explain only 20% of the changes in the dependent variable. By comparing the beta coefficients, it can be said that the glass ceiling is affected more than anything else by the reduction of perceived interactive and procedural justice.

In today's management world, some leaders, due to having a self-centered and arrogant personality and being in a position of power, use less of their mental abilities and capabilities over time and have little mobility, which over time reduces their intellectual capacity. In fact, these people, after coming to power, suffer from short-sightedness and irrational domination, which results in weakness in the intellectual activities of leaders, especially in their decision-making. The present study aimed at understanding the effective factors and consequences of the leader's Huberris phenomenon. This study was developmental with a qualitative and quantitative approach. The statistical population of the study was experts who were selected using the snowball sampling method based on the principle of theoretical adequacy. The data collection tool was a semi-structured interview in the qualitative part and a questionnaire in the quantitative part. The coding method and Atlas.ti software were used for data analysis in the qualitative part and dimittel fuzzy method was used for quantitative analysis. The results indicate that irrational dominance, power paradox, delusional perception of genius and personal knowledge, cerebral immobility and laziness, arrogance and narcissism, and personality and behavioral disorders are the most important factors shaping the phenomenon of Hubris leaders in public organizations. Also, the centralization of decision-making, arrogant leadership, exploitation of human resources, authoritarian management, and reducing the motivation and commitment of followers and subordinates are the most important consequences of the Hubris-leaders phenomenon in public organizations.

The strategic plan of nanotechnology development in the 1404 vision was passed with the endeavor of the national Nanotechnology Development Staff. This document includes 52 executive plans, which are to be implemented by various organizations. Making policy for the commercialization of nanotechnology is a complicated and unstructured issue in which various stakeholders participate. Regarding the complexity of nanotechnology commercialization policy making along with the role of human factor in it, soft systems methodology (SSM) is used as the research method. In this research, using soft systems methodology (SSM), the unstructured issue of nanotechnology commercialization policy making was defined initially. After defining the scope of the issue, an enriched image of different actors and their interests was depicted. Then, using CATWOE, the fundamental definition of nanotechnology commercialization policy making was defined. In the next stage, the developed model was compared with the real world. After that, desired changes for the development improvement of the new system were identified. Finally, applied plans for operationalizing the changes were proposed to the stakeholders and incumbents dealing with the issue, hoping for improving the function of the system and enhancing the effectiveness of the process of commercializing nanotechnology policy making.
