The human resources architecture model has designed the structure of human capital based on the two components of strategic value and the uniqueness of skills, considering the wide scope of providing government services and the central role of the intelligence component in determining the performance of human resources as the most valuable resource of the organization, the link between 3 The component of value, skill and intelligence, identifying relevant indicators and determining the importance of each of these indicators at different administrative levels of the Ministry of Energy's headquarters has led to the design of a new model. The type of research method of the current research is mixed. In the first phase, after a library study using the quantitative content analysis and the fuzzy Delphi techniques, the primary indicators were summarized and in the statistical part, the relationships were examined using the fuzzy DANP technique, the weight of each specific index and the equation of each organizational level were discovered. The results indicate that the indicators can be classified into three general, common and specific sections. Among the general indicators that have been repeated in all three levels of the organization, there is the reliability index, and among the specific indicators at the expert level, the problem focus index, at the group head level, the consultation index, and at the deputy director general level, the willingness to reform and the improvement of systems index have been allocated the most weight. Also, the results confirm that the weight of the value component at the level of the deputy general manager is more than the 2 components of intelligence and skill at the same level. Also, the weight of the skill component in this level is higher compared to the previous levels. At the end, the research model was approved by the experts.

The organization's excellence and inefficient employees are considered the cause of its problems and failures. However, less research has comprehensively and coherently addressed employee efficiency. The main purpose of this study was to provide a theoretical model of efficient and inefficient employees and investigate their characteristics in the public sector, not only to fill the existing study gap but also to help increase knowledge in this field. The methodological principles of classic database theory (Glaserian) were used in this study concerning theoretical literature, participant recruitment, data collection, analysis, and theory development. In this regard, in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 experts in the water industry in Isfahan province, and the obtained data were analyzed in three stages: open coding, selective coding, and theoretical coding. Data analysis showed four types of employees in terms of efficiency, which were conceptualized with the titles of proactive employees, reactive employees, procrastinative employees, and restive employees. Data analysis also showed that the mentioned types were investigated and analyzed through the typology matrix of efficient and inefficient employees. Identifying the types of employees in terms of efficiency and explaining their characteristics will help improve the efficiency of human resources and deal with inefficiency.

This research aims at finding an answer to this question: what factors can lead to a reduction in the employees' tendency to commit service sabotage? To this purpose and regarding the extensive studies done in this field, the qualitative meta-synthesis method was used. The reason for choosing meta-synthesis approach is that it can help discover the new and fundamental themes and metaphors by providing the researchers with a systematic frame and by combining different qualitative researches and consequently making it possible to have a comprehensive and broad perspective toward issues. The sample intended for meta-synthesis in this research is composed of selected qualitative studies based on their relevance to the research question. In this study, a sample of 151 related studies was extracted from both internal and external databases during the years 2002 to 2018. After screening the researches with respect to their title, abstract, content and quality, 71 internal and external studies were left, results of which were combined with each other. The implementation of this process resulted in the extraction of 47 factors effective on reducing the service sabotage, which were categorized in eight groups including individual, interpersonal, organizational, family, ethical, beliefs related, economic and environmental factors. furthermore, the present study provides managers with a both categorized and classified list of effective factors on reducing the service sabotage done by the employees and will enable them to manage these behaviors better and yet reduce the costs of such behaviors for their organizations.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the e-literacy of Maragheh administrative staff and its impact on their sociability and transformability. The models used in staff e-literacy, sociability, and transformability parts were based on ICDL model, the Taormina theory (1997), and the John Gutter and Peter Drucker (1996) model, respectively. The statistical population of the present study was all staff of the education department of Maragheh city, which was 45. In this research, due to the low number of statistical population, the members of the statistical society were selected through the census method (accessible sampling), so the number of sample population was all 45 staff except 4 who were excluded from the research. Ultimately, the number of participants of the study was 41. In order to collect data, three researcher-made questionnaires were used. The results of testing hypotheses indicated that, firstly, the average e-literacy status of Maragheh Education Department staff was below the average rate, and secondly, the e-literacy of the staff had an impact on the sociability and transformability of the staff of Maragheh Education Department.

This study is a descriptive survey approach to design and explain the model of the organizational social networks in the branches of Saderat Bank of East Azarbaijan Province. Research shows that one of the best ways for an organization to grow is to build and develop internal communities in the digital world; however, recent studies show that the use of these networks has not been as successful as expected. For this purpose, 14 main components of the organizational social network were extracted from the literature and then the main components in the banking contexts were extracted through the Delphi method with the presence of 30 university professors and industry experts. Then, the conceptual model of the organizational social networks in the banking industry was identified and drawn from the 7 main components. Then a questionnaire was prepared to test the hypotheses and the reliability and validity of the questionnaire were evaluated through Cronbach's alpha tests and confirmatory factor analysis. Finally, the hypothesis test for 7 hypotheses was performed through path analysis and structural equations and then, the conceptual model was confirmed. The results showed that the main components of organizational social networking are teamwork atmosphere, advanced technology, flexible structure, specialized human resources, and competitiveness, all of which have a significant relationship with organizational social networking. There is also a significant relationship between the use of organizational social networks and communication empowerment and customer relationship management.
