The present study seeks to identify and investigate the consequences of using showcase performance style in public organizations in Mazandaran province. This research is mix mode using a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches. In the qualitative part, the grounded theory was used. To collect data, in-depth interviews were conducted with managers and employees of public organizations in Mazandaran province through theoretical sampling with snowball technique. During the study, to obtain richer data, the researcher invisibly observed the behaviors of people who had a showcase performance. The theories supporting showcase performance style have also been used. This process continued until the responses reached saturation (with 14 interviews, 6 observations, and 7 support theories). In the quantitative part of the research, structural equation modeling was used to perform statistical analysis. By analysing and coding data in qualitative section and using structural equations in quantitative part, two categories and six subcategories were identified as consequences of using the showcase performance style. The two main categories are organizational consequences and individual consequences. And subcategories were reducing productivity and efficiency, increasing corruption and reducing creativity and innovation, reducing job satisfaction, reducing job motivation, and dropping employee’s spirit.

Decision making is one of the most important activities in all organizations, and in the meantime, it is more important in innovative and knowledge-based firms due to the lack of structure and resources on the one hand and the impact of decisions on the organization on the other. The business environment generally has many uncertainties, and this uncertainty about start-ups and technology-based businesses is much deeper. Deciding in this uncertain environment has limitations that make many technologists unconsciously use intuition in decision making. The purpose of this study was to study the descriptive process of intuitive decision making in technology and knowledge-based companies. Given the nature of the intuition, the method used in this research was qualitative (Grounded Theory) and based on the analysis of interviews. The results suggest that there is sufficient evidence that the decision-makers of knowledge-based companies use intuition in the uncertainty environment, and that information and time are the causative factors causing uncertainty. In addition, it was found that experience and intuitions are inextricably linked, and the mental patterns and curiosity of the variables associated with them. Unstable environment of business also play the role of the underlying factor of intuitive decision making. Increasing the speed of decision making, creativity and reducing feelings of regret from positive outcomes and increasing decision errors are also the negative consequences of the use of intuition.

The aim of the current research is to design and explain organizational values model based on Nahj al Balaghe teaching. The method used in this research is the combination of quantitive and qualitive methods. In qualitive method, the author extracted data by thematic analysis. Further, in orther to make thematic network and research model, the author used some interviews and questionnaires. First of all, the author searched for the themes about values in Nahj al Balaghe, and 324 codes have been extracted. Furthermore, these codes have been proposed to experts and 70 more codes suggested by the associated experts that can be introduced as the values codes. Finally, all these codes have been distributed to the experts again, by questionnaires and their idea gathered about the same. In sum, after having all experts’ idea about these codes, and testing with Binomial test in SPSS, the author proposed the model of organizational values based on Nahj al Balaghe teaching. The model includes four main factors, i.e. Ethical-Cultural Values, Knowledge-Wisdom Values, Professional Values, and Basic Values.
