There is a desire to survive in any organization. Profitability in the private sector and public satisfaction in the public sector guarantee survival. That is why the quality of education in both public and private sectors is essential. The private sector has surpassed the public sector in the use of management patterns. The present study was conducted in a qualitative approach framework by using the grounded theory research method. Semi-structured interviews were used for data collection. Using snowball sampling method, 18 experts familiar with the concept of human resource (HR) excellence including university professors, HR managers of governmental organizations, and experts in the field of excellence were interviewed. Data analysis was conducted in open, axial and selective coding and the desired pattern was designed based on the results. The pattern includes: causal conditions (inefficiencies, expectations and requirements), the main phenomenon (HR excellence in the governmental organization), contextual condition (the theory of new public service, culture of excellence and rules), intervening conditions (sub-models, governmental management features and differences between public and private sectors), strategies (government, politicians, HR organization, HR functions, administrative ethics, people, partners and family), results (organizational and HR), outcomes(organizational, community and idealistic), and perception (people and colleagues).

For dealing with the complex problems and providing the appropriate solutions for them, first we must identify the various types of such problems. The aim of this study is to find the characteristics of organizational complex problems from the managers' viewpoints and comparing them with the experts' viewpoints on these kinds of problems. For this purpose, we first identified the characteristics of complex problems from expert's viewpoints in the related literature. Then, we conducted semi-structured interviews with fourteen managers in some public organizations. In these interviews, we asked the managers to express their own definitions of complex problems or refer to the various examples of them in their own organizations.In this paper, first, a qualitative content analysis of interview transcripts has been utilized in order to extract the characteristics of the complex problems from the viewpoints of managers. At this stage, we could identify eight main characteristics of complex problems and compared them with the characteristics identified from the viewpoint of experts correspondingly. Then, at the next stage, we used a deconstruction method to better understand why managers had pointed to these main characteristics. The results of this section implied the confirmation of these characteristics in a different way.

Despite the high importance of the oil industry mega-projects in IRAN, it is clear that there is no robust condition to get succession in these projects. One of the reasons is addressed by the ignorance of the true project management. The aim of this research is to identify and prioritize the oil project success factors, and to identify the guidelines to manage these projects. This work is an applied research and the research method is descriptive. All of the research stages include Nominal Group Technique (NGT) to elicit judgments of 12 experts. A list of success factors, containing the relevant project management knowledge areas, is obtained with the use of library study, literature review and the expert elicitation. In order to assign the weights to the factors and prioritize them, knowledge areas are ranked as BORDA numbers, as well as the relevant success factors. The obtained ranks are transformed to the weights, using Rank Order Centroid (ROC) method. Then a geometric mean is carried out to get the final weigh of the success factors. Finally, some guidelines are recommended for the projects, with the use of the experts judgments. The research findings include 42 success factors and 46 guidelines. The results show that the most important factors, with more than 25% of the total weight, are alignment between objectives and activities, clarity of scope, and stability of program managers.

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.
