Role is a behavior that is expected from people according to their position. Importance of ministers' roles isn't concealed to anyone. Ministers -at the top of politics and management- are managers of large organizations called ministries whose smallest decisions can have great effects; Therefore, lack of their role model, not only prevents them from optimal performance and puts them in a lot of ambiguities and conflicts, but also slows the progress of organizations; Therefore, this study addressed ministers and concentrated on designing a role model for them. Then, since review and concluding past studies findings is an important step in drawing up a comprehensive picture of them, the study concentrated on its meta-synthesis; So, in first step, gained 131 references about the subject, through a deep search in literature, which in a three-stage refinement reduced to 50 related references; which after refining, analyzing and summarizing their themes, resulted in 27 concepts and 7 categories as follows: public relations role, policy role, political role, executive role, parliamentary role, party and constituency representational role and international role. The findings were then validated by Delphi method; which finally party and constituency representational role and its concepts were deleted. The validation shows the last role and its concepts are not applicatory in Iran.

Managing the public service motivation of public organizations employees is the biggest challenge facing today's public sector managers because the existentail philosophy of public administration is to serve the citizen in the light of the presence of public servants with a high public service motivation. In this regard, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of organizational cynicism on the public service motivation, explaining the role of the perception of organizational politics and organizational goal ambiguity as moderating variables. In this research, by using a simple random sampling method, 926 employees of public sector under the supervision of 18 ministries of the country were selected as sample. A standard questionnaire was used to collect data. Validity and reliability of each of the variables were confirmed. Data analysis was performed by Spearman correlation test and stepwise regression using SPSS software. The results show that organizational cynicism leads to a reduction in the public service motivation, and the employees’ negative perception of the organizational politics moderates the relationship between organizational cynicism and the public service motivation in a negative manner. Additionally, the combination of organizational goal ambiguity with the perception of organizational politics intensifies this relationship.

Public organizations as the main elements in the policy implementation process, have to collaborate with different institutional actors. According to the multi-dimensional nature of public problems, the collaboration between public organizations is the cornerstone of failure or succession of policy making and implementation. Without inter-organizational coordination, policy implementation will face to many challenges. The study aims to explore the barriers of collaboration among public organizations in Iran. Unfortunately in Iran, there are few studies which conducted about inter-organizational between public organizations, in particular, the barriers of inter-organizational in public sector. This research is carried out in a qualitative method and hope to develop the coordination methods and practical guidance for Iranian public organizations. This leads to inter-organizational coordination as a mechanism to help policy implementation in Iran. Organizational, inter-organizational, legal, administrative, political, social or cultural, environmental barriers are derived from this research.

This research is aimed to answer why and how the change was happened, using one of theoretical views of public policy process, named, Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF). The Research design contained pospositivist philosophical orientation, case study strategy, and process tracing as analytical method. Cues and evidence taken from direct and indirect Interviews as well as public documents revealed that there were two major advocacy coalition in the subsidy policy reform: Consumption Advocacy Coalition (CAC) with beliefs such as libertizing and modifying the prices of public goods and energy fundamentally and suddenly and supporing low income people) and Production Advocacy Coalition (PAC) with beliefs such as libertizing the prices incrementally, supporting production sector, and devising non- price solutions. Also, the evidence showed that the subsidy policy changein Iran can be explained by four casual mechanisms within ACF: policy learing, external shocks and perturbations, internal shocks, and negotiated aggrement.
