The current research was conducted to identify a model for faculty members’ ostracism in the workplace. This study is an applied study by purpose and exploratory research in nature. It was conducted qualitatively using grounded theory in relation to the method. The participants of the research included faculty memers of Iranian universities, 19 of them were selected through the purposeful and snowball methods and following the rule of theoretical saturation, and the data was collected through semi structured interviews. The results of this research indicate that three categories of causal factors including individual factors, group factors, and organizational factors, as well as contextual factors (factors related to organizational culture, factors related to organizational structure and factors related to organizational processes), and intervening factors also affect the emergence of this phenomenon in universities. Strategies to prevent the ostracism of faculty members and the consequences of this phenomenon in universities have been determined at both the individual and organizational levels. The findings of the research can create a suitable insight about the emergence of the phenomenon of faculty members’ ostracism in the workplace and provide a basis for planners and policy makers of the university system to prevent it.

The aim of the current research was to design a pattern for emergence of bad managers in organizations. This study is developmental in terms of purpose and exploratory in nature, which was conducted using a qualitative method and a grounded theory approach. The statistical population was the public organizations of Isfahan city, where 14 managers were selected as sample members by a purpesfull method and the theoretical saturation rule and individually semi-structured interview was used In order to collect the required data needed. After analyzing the interviews, 82 concepts were identified, which were classified into 6 categories. The results indicate the emergence of bad managers is under the influence of causal factors such as the absence of clear performance indicators in promotion and appointment, replacing relationships instead of criteria, the rule of oligarchic thinking, the weakness of the succession planning system, the weakness of the performance evaluation system and the like. Individual and organizational contextual factors as well as intervening factors also influence the emergence of this phenomenon. Strategies for preventing the appointment of bad managers have also been identified at three individual, group and organizational levels. The results also indicate that the emergence of bad managers will have negative consequences at the individual, group, organizational and extra-organizational levels. The findings can create a suitable insight in relation to the emergence of the phenomenon of bad managers and provide the context to prevent it for the planners and policy makers of the administrative system.

Due to the necessity of applying and using new approaches in the management of interpersonal relationships and making the workplace environment pleasant, having a sense of humor and knowing how to use it can be a useful management tool for leaders. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to design the model of antecedents and consequences of humor in Parsian Gas Refinery Company. This research, in terms of objective, is typically applied-developmental and has been done by applying a qualitative research method. In order to identify the dimensions of the antecedents and consequences of organizational humor, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 managers and supervisors of different units of Parsian Company using non-probability judgment and snowball sampling method and the data were analyzed using a thematic analysis method. The findings led to identify 10 main themes that were categorized into individual-oriented, group-oriented, organization-oriented antecedents and consequences, and also the dimensions of organizational humor.
