Thinking is based on the ability and tendency of the individual to measure the results of affairs and make decisions about them based on evidence. The presence of critical thinking in the organization will cause dynamism, adaptability, and creativity, which will affect the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization. Accordingly, this research was aimed at designing a government think tank. This research has been done with the foundation data theory method. Based on limited theoretical literature and mainly relying on interviews with 12 (purposeful) faculty members in the field of public administration. Data obtained from theoretical studies and interviews were performed in the form of open coding, selective coding, and axial coding. The results obtained from the codings include the thinker leader, the thinker structure, the thinker personality, the thinker government, and the thinker atmosphere, which form the factors influencing the establishment of the government thinker organization. Which were divided into two categories of internal thinking and external thinking and finally, the strategies and consequences of the government thinking organization were proposed. In general, the fact emerged that most of the things that will lead to the creation of a thoughtful government organization are related to internal factors. Then, the final model of the research was drawn, and the main causes, underlying factors, mediating factors, main category, strategies, and consequences of the thinking government organization were identified.

Today, one of the hidden issues that affect the reduction of productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness of organizations, which managers neglect, is the phenomenon of the "mental absence" of employees. Mental absence is a phenomenon in which the mind is absent despite the physical presence of people in the workplace. The present study seeks to explain the model of mental absence based on grounded theory in Mashhad Municipality. The data collection tool was semi-structured interviews and 25 managers and elites familiar with human resource management and psychology were selected as study samples. Data analysis was done in three open, axial, and selective coding stages, and the minds and opinions of respondents were extracted by using Atlas t software and through the qualitative model of the research. The result of this analysis shows the extraction of over 250 initial codes from interviews as well as 52 categories, which are presented in the form of a paradigm. According to this model, conditions such as housing problems, unsuitable neighborhood, family and personal, behavioral, infertility, child, legal, financial, non-timely payment of wages, non-payment of rewards, underestimation of work, insult and blame, cyberspace, and discrimination were identified as causal conditions affecting the central phenomenon, i.e. mental absence.

the health of administration and overshadow public interests. Therefore, this research has been carried out with the aim of presenting a management model of Trading in Iran's public Agencies. In order to form the expert group, 15 experts from the ministries and subordinate organizations who had expert conditions were selected by available sampling method. To test the model, the statistical population including 800 employees of the Information Technology Organization was considered. Also, 260 people were selected as a statistical sample using Morgan's table and simple random sampling method. The required data was collected through a researcher-made questionnaire, whose validity and reliability were confirmed through quantitative methods. In order to analyze the data, Lisrel software and Delphi technique and fuzzy inference system in the form of MATLAB software were used. The results showed that the model has three individual, organizational and cultural dimensions, and the organizational dimension with a factor loading of 0.83 has the largest contribution in explaining administrative Trading. Also, the individual value system component with a factor of 0.6 has the largest contribution in explaining the individual dimension; The ineffective evaluation system component with a factor loading of 0.75 has the largest contribution in explaining the organizational dimension and the short-sighted component with a factor loading of 0.75 has the largest contribution in explaining the cultural dimension. The results of the fuzzy inference system also showed that the minimum level of Trading in the organization is 0.464, and most of it is caused by individual Trading tendencies. In addition, the management of organizational and cultural factors has a significant impact on the control of administrative Trading. Based on the results, it can be said that paying attention to employing competent and ethical people is the first step in dealing with administrative Trading.

The present study aims to analysis of the effect of spiritual leadership on organizational performance through organizational identity. By reviewing the research literature, 26 components of spiritual leadership and 18 components of organizational identity were identified as factors affecting organizational performance and then was designed the conceptual framework of the research. Through survey and referring to the statistical sample of 265 managers and experts of the Social Security Organization of East Azerbaijan province, the required data were collected using a questionnaire. The conceptual framework was presented and validation by collecting empirical data and structural equation modeling. Investigating the models of measurement and analysis of factor loads showed that the components of spiritual leadership had the most impact on organizational performance. Also, studying structural model of research and path analysis revealed that there is a strong correlation between spiritual leadership variables with organizational identity and spiritual leadership. The simultaneous analysis of factors influencing organizational performance by structural equation method showed that the components of "spiritual leadership" had the greatest impact on organizational performance. The results of the analysis of path coefficients and the values of the coefficient of determination of R2 showed that the "spiritual leadership" variable directly explained 79.3% of the changes related to the variable "organizational performance". Also, "spiritual leadership" indirectly affects the variable "organizational performance" by means of an intermediate variable "organizational identity" of 34 percent.

To be democratic, transparent, and publicly-engaged are of integral qualities to administrate public affairs in modern era by the organizations. The survey suggests that at verbal stage and superficial structure, the language of governmental senior officials is close to this discourse. However, one of the key setbacks in interactions of public organizations providing public services is language hinders. This study is to characterize the discourse of public administration concerning education in between 1989- 2013 to assess the extent they concur with modern paradigm in public administration. To conduct the survey, Fairclough ‘s approach has been applied. The findings indicate that, although senior officials in Education Ministry are largely inclined to use conceptions as well as variations of modern paradigm of management, their usage is highly superficial and less genuine. In fact, what really occurs is language gaming, blurring their intentions through insisting on bureaucratic mechanism and expertization of reference language in public interactions, poor inclusiveness, and slogan-oriented approach versus practice-oriented one play the central role in their discourse
