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 current research was done with the aim of designing a model to improve the performance of start-up accelerators and identifying its dimensions and components. This research is in the category of mixed exploratory research in terms of practical purpose and in terms of method. The current research was carried out in two parts: qualitative (supercomposition and Delphi) and quantitative. The population studied in the qualitative section includes 25 Persian and Latin articles related to the improvement of performance in startups, which were selected by the census method in the meta-composite method. The statistical population in the Delphi section included 30 management faculty members and managers of companies related to start-up accelerators. In the quantitative section, 250 samples of accelerator employees were selected using a systematic random stratified method. The data collection tool is a questionnaire, the validity of which was obtained and confirmed through the methods of construct validity and factor loadings, as well as the calculation of Cronbach's alpha. In order to analyze the data, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis as well as path analysis were used using spss and smart pls statistical software. Based on exploratory factor analysis, 73 questionnaire items have been classified into 12 main components and 61 sub-components. The results of confirmatory factor analysis show that 12 human resources components of coaching, management techniques, customer perspective, continuous improvement, support, financial relations, internal processes, business model, program ecosystem, competitors and environment are effective in improving the performance of start-up accelerators.

The current research was carried out with the aim of designing a model of ostracism faculty members in the work environment . This research in terms of practical purpose; In terms of exploratory nature and in terms of method; It has been done in a qualitative way and with the approach of Grounded theory. The statistical population of the research is made up of faculty members of Iranian universities, among which 19 people were selected using a targeted method as well as the snowball method and observing the rule of theoretical saturation, and the data were collected using semi-structured interviews. The results of this research indicate that the ostracism faculty members in the work environment is influenced by 3 categories of causal factors (management-organizational factors, characteristics of the excluded person and factors related to colleagues) and personal and organizational background factors and intervening factors. also affect the emergence of this phenomenon in universities. The strategies to prevent the ostracism faculty members and the consequences of this phenomenon in universities have also been identified at both individual and organizational levels. The findings of the research can create a suitable insight in relation to how the phenomenon of ostracism faculty members is formed in the work environment and provide the context to prevent it for the planners and policy makers of the university system.
