The rapid growth of tourism as an industry has led many countries to consider tourism as an important component in the growth and development of the national economy and for this reason, from the perspective of development, today, based on gross domestic product, exports and employment, tourism is the largest industry in the world. On the other hand, it is noted that tourists, based on their mental images of different places, are determined to determine the destination of their travel, and this is where the importance of the brand's role in tourism appears. Therefore, in this research, along with the study of upstream documents; based on Delphi methodology, the opinion of experts from the field of tourism, especially policy makers in this field as well as university researchers in the field of brand and tourism, have been compiled to develop a model for promotion of tourism brand of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Also, cognitive mapping is used to draw and understand the relationships between model components. In the model obtained from the research, four main factors affecting the promotion of the tourism brand in Iran, including the factors of the tourism industry, the factors of the tourism destination, the factors of the state and government and the factors of the international environment, are identified and the relationship between them and their 16 sub-factors are analyzed together.

In today's turbulent world, organizations are struggling to gain competitive advantage. Staff silence has led to stagnation and inactivity in their physical and social networks, pushing the organization to the brink of collapse. The purpose of this study was to design a comprehensive organizational silence model based on the organization's five pillars. The study method is descriptive and qualitative which has been implemented in two stages of Delphi and Library. In the first stage, components of organizational silence were identified by research literature. Then based on the five pillars of the organization (Environment, Persons, Structure, goals ,Technology), the proposed conceptual framework of organizational silence is achieved.statistical population includes university Professors of Payame Noor, Allameh Tabataba'i, Tehran, Beheshti and experimental managers in Tehran, using snowball sampling method.From all questions in all Delphi periods, the sample t-test and the mean and standard deviation were used. Kendall's correlation coefficient for all dimensions was calculated.The results showed that all the terms in all Delphi periods are meaningful and the factors related to the goals have the highest agreement, after which the technological factors, the inner environment, individual managers, structural, external environment and individual factors of employees. At the end of the final model, organizational silence was designed based on the five organizational roles. Therefore, it can be concluded that all five aspects of the organization and its dimensions can be effective in maintaining organizational silence and it is necessary that managers pay enough attention to organizational dynamics in all five dimensions of the organization.

Cameron and Quinn's organizational culture assessment tool has been used as one of the most valid models of organizational culture to identify the prevailing organizational culture in many organizations. The purpose of this study is to critique, analyze the weaknesses and identify the main discourses towards this model in Iranian government organizations. For this purpose, the Cameron and Quinn organizational culture assessment tool presented in 1999 was carefully studied and the required data were collected through a library study of available resources and a two-stage semi-structured interview (20 people, 15 people). The statistical population in the present study was all managers and organizational experts in government organizations. In the first part of the research, 20 interviews were conducted with experts who were purposefully selected and 94 meaningful units, 33 codes, 12 categories, and 4 themes of data were counted using directional qualitative content analysis. The reliability of the findings of the first part using the method P. Scott was approved. In the second part of the study, to analyze the discourses and enumerate the main discourses about this model, 15 experts were interviewed and three main functional, contingent and non-functional discourses were counted by the critical discourse analysis method. Then, using the opinion of experts with the Vasspas ranking method, the main discourses were ranked with non-functional, contingent, and non-functional priority. This means that from the point of view of experts in government organizations, the tool for assessing the organizational culture of Cameron and Quinn is not suitable for implementation in Iranian government organizations. Finally, suggestions were provided to improve the model.

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the status of new leadership functions in public organizations in West Azerbaijan province and propose an appropriate model for the improvement of the existing situation in them. The present research was applied in terms of purpose and mixed descriptive (quantitative-qualitative) in terms of nature and method. This research was conducted in two parts, quantitative and qualitative. The statistical population of this research in the quantitative section was managers, heads, and specialized experts in government organizations of West Azerbaijan province, and in the qualitative section were the managers of public organizations, elites, and university professors in West Azerbaijan province. To collect data, in the quantitative research section, a researcher-made questionnaire based on the theoretical framework of "Sanjay Saxena and Pour Nima Avasti" was used and in the qualitative section, open-ended questions were used through semi-structured interviews and focus group interviews. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze data in the quantitative part. In this framework, Kolmogorov-Smirnov was used to test the normality of the data distribution of the population, and one-sample t-test, t-student test, linear regression test, structural equation analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis were used to test the research hypotheses. SPSS and AMOS software was used in all calculations and tests. In the qualitative part, open coding tables, conceptualization, thematicization, and variable (theme) construction were used to design and present the main research model. According to the results of this research in the quantitative section, public organizations of West Azerbaijan province use new leadership functions to a lesser extent than the average. In other words, the current situation of new leadership functions in government organizations of West Azerbaijan province is less than average. Based on the results of qualitative research, a model for developing the current status of new leadership functions in government organizations was proposed. In the proposed model for government organizations, there are 14 main themes (main variable) and 39 sub-themes.

Transparency in governmental organizations demonstrates the transparency of decision-making principles and mechanisms governing the administrative performance of government. It is used as the most effective tool to fight against bureaucratic corruption to establish an efficient and effective government and to make a sustainable society. So this research aimed to present a model of factors affecting the performance transparency of governmental organizations. Firstly, factors affecting the performance transparency of governmental organizations were addressed by library studies and then they were investigated by university experts with relevant education in the country through Delphi technique. After validation and modification of these factors, the final questionnaire was compiled to collect quantitative data and was available for managers of various governmental organizations in Iran through a convenient sampling method. Finally, path analysis and model presentation was conducted through structural equation modeling and the Friedman test was used to rank the factors. Results of the study revealed that the model of factors affecting the governmental organization performance transparency includes six variables: individuals’ role and performance, information technology and communication, legal issues, environmental issues, management issues, and structural and process issues. These variables are global, but their analysis and ranking from the viewpoint of governmental managers showed that the majority of the path coefficient is related to information technology and communication variable. And the other two factors of structural and process factors and information technology and communication have the highest rank in performance transparency of governmental organizations in Iran.

Delegation of power as a legal act in an organizational management system has an important place because it has multiple effects because it is one of the ways to decentralize in the optimal management of human resources. In fact, this can be achieved through organizational goals to empower employees, Participatory management and accountability have been achieved, organizations that are well-defined in this title and legal authority, the agility of the organization, and the satisfaction of employees and clients. Because the co-creation and participation of the organizational set-up is one of the most important effects of the conferral of authority in the field of public and administrative law and organizational management. The term "power of attorney" as a lawyer generally has a logical connection and common sense, although there are certain procedures for conferring authority in public law unlike ordinary lawyers. Hence, in administrative law, the power to delegate authority in the management system is defined by the various pillars and stages, as well as the effects of delegation of authority, can be decentralization, strengthening supervision, creating competition among employees and encouraging them and accountability.

Government data collected from public funds and contains valuable data, if opened, can be usable in various areas, can stimulate innovation. It is necessary to investigate contexts and factors affecting the Open Government Data driven Innovation (OGDI). The main question of research is: How does open government data lead to the creation of innovation? So that, trying to answer six sub-questions consisting: causal conditions, background conditions, intervening conditions, main phenomenon, strategies, and consequences about OGDI. This research, according to mixed method (qualitative-quantitative), first used the grounded theory based on Strauss-Corbin method; then due to qualitative analysis of data obtained from interviews, three-stage coding was used; next a quantitatively evaluated done by using Shannon's entropy method. Based on data sufficiency principle, up to theoretical saturation stage, 11 semi-structured interactive interviews with experts were done. Due to results obtained from interviews, 6 main categories according to the sub-questions of the research, and 20 sub-categories containing 95 concepts were extracted. Attention requirements per each main categories, subcategories and concepts were suggested for future research. Proposed theoretical model shows that, at first step, if "setting of supporting laws for OGDI", and "the demands of external stakeholders" (causal conditions) are done correctly; and at second step if simultaneously "market development and investment in OGDI" (context conditions), "drafting the data governance document" (main phenomenon), and "utilizing the capacity of the private sector in form of PPP"(intervention condition), executed correctly; also in third step, by using all types of innovation (strategy), it will achieve consequences such as transparency in the organization, solving "stagnation of private businesses" and "unemployment in society" problems.
