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.

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.

This research was conducted to analyze the dimensions of the popularity of managers in government organizations of Ilam City. The current research was applied in terms of purpose and is exploratory nature with the qualitative method in terms of data collection using grounded theory with Glazer's emergent approach. The participants were managers of government organizations in Ilam City. Data collection was done through purposive sampling with 17 managers using semi-structured interviews. For the reliability of the interviews, the method of agreement between two coders was used, and to check the validity, content validity was used. Findings revealed that 7 dimensions were identified for popularity, which included weak-willed (empty character, shaky character, identity destruction), unhealthy dependence (obedient mind, passive behavior, others-processing), belonging (showcase management, hypocritical behavior, imaging), personal interests (networking, ownership, political game), malinger(behavioral abnormality, personality syndrome, personality crisis), white fallacy (organizational deviance, organizational anomaly, functional dysfunction of managers), ritualism (creating management based on the glass room, formulating the principles and functional requirements for the organization, formulating the principles and requirements for education and ethics). The results of the research showed that seeking popularity is one of the managerial inefficiencies in government organizations, which has made managers' performance difficult. It can be said that to reduce the popularity of managers, government organizations should avoid appointing managers who tend to have symbolic communication and dependent personalities.

The thoughts and feelings of employees, which are referred to as employee energy (EE), play an important role in shaping the performance of employees in the workplace. Therefore, This concept has become a new goal in the field of organizational knowledge. Hence, this study is operated to design a conceptual framework for the semantic reconstruction of employee energy in public organizations. The study method is pursued as a Grounded Theory (GT), in which selective, axial, and open coding analyses were completed based on the Strauss and Corbin method. Data were gathered from semi-structured interviews. Using purposive sampling, the contributors included (N=20) experts and managers of public organizations, and interviews followed until the point of theoretical saturation. The obtained data were extracted from 283 primary codes, 97 concepts, 18 subcategories, and 6 categories. The analysis of this study showed that the central phenomenon is the energy of employees in the process was identified from causal conditions (Psychological characteristics, Healthy lifestyle, Genetics, Effective communication, Managerial leadership style, Job characteristics, and Quality of working life), contextual conditions (Dynamics of the economic, the political, the social, the cultural systems, and Technological developments), intervening conditions (Age, Gender, Education, Work experience, Type of employment); strategies (Psychological development, Health improvement, Social network development), and consequences (Instrumental, ultimate).

Everything that involves the participation of citizens is formed in a context that is surrounded by common categories, and regardless of them, the participation of citizens is difficult to happen. The purpose of this study is to design a comprehensive model of citizen participation in Tehran. The research method is qualitative and the current situation is modeled based on the Glaserian approach from the strategy of grounded theory. Along this line, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 19 citizens, city managers, and experts in the field of citizen participation who were selected in the form of snowballs. The Glaser side is introduced and modeled. "Lack of citizen-centered approach in the municipality" was introduced as a central phenomenon and 12 categories were introduced as sub-categories. The result is that to increase citizen participation, Tehran Municipality must reform the attitude of its human resources, especially managers and policymakers, and show this change in attitude in practice and the municipality to become a participation-oriented organization, and help to change this attitude citizens to prepare the ground for their presence in the field of urban participation and strengthen the central participation of the municipality and urban management, with the suggestions presented at the end of the article, to fill the gaps.

Since developing a rich model of Islamic management for the countries in the region, the Islamic world, and the whole world is significantly important, the existence of a comprehensive model of Islamic management to respond to the managerial and governmental needs of the countries in the shadow of Islam’s rich and redemptive school is an indispensable necessity. The present study aimed to design a model for the globalization of Islamic management. The study implemented a qualitative methodology in the form of the Grounded Theory and was applied according to its goals, and the data were collected using a survey research methodology with an exploratory nature. The population consisted of all Iranian experts in the field of Islamic management. Then, 45 experts were selected using the snowball sampling method according to the principle of theoretical saturation, and in-depth interviews were used to collect data. The instruments implemented in the study were open and in-depth interviews with the experts and upstream documents. The data were analyzed according to the method proposed by Glaser and Strauss. Thus, constant comparison in three stages - open, axial, and selective coding – was carried out. According to the findings, 26 effective factors of the globalization of Islamic management in five dimensions, including the administrative dimension, cultural promotion, economic promotion, Islamic behavior, and the scientific dimension, were proposed, and the research model was approved by the experts.

Merit phobia is considered one of the organizational diseases in governmental organizations, which has hindered the favorable appointment process. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to design a managers' merit-phobia model in public organizations in Lorestan province. The present study was qualitative using the grounded theory method. Participants in the study were managers of public organizations in Lorestan province. Data were collected by using semi-structured interviews with 20 managers who were selected through the purposive sampling method. In the process of data collection and analysis, the grounded theory proposed by Strauss and Corbin was adopted. Six main categories and 45 concepts were extracted from the interviews. The findings revealed that conditions such as the weakness of the succession system, fear of losing position, traditional management systems, narrow-mindedness, partisanship, and lack of a decent career path cause the phenomenon of managers' merit-phobia. Factors such as unhealthy competition, politicization, greed, a relationship-oriented culture, and nepotism provide a background for managers' merit phobia. According to the findings, salaries and benefits, selfishness, dependence on power, and utilitarianism mediate this phenomenon, which leads to consequences such as dwarfism, reduced investment of knowledge and skills for the future, reduced efficiency and effectiveness, job boredom, degradation of the manager's social reputation, increased the employee voluntary leave, reduced organizational creativity, and lack of organizational progress. Finally, the study model was approved by experts.

From time to time it is heard or seen that some organizations, companies, or economic, financial, political, cultural, and educational enterprises have suffered some corruption from inside or outside. So far, various measures have been taken to combat corruption in the country by passing laws and establishing regulatory bodies, but none of these cases have succeeded in the fight against corruption as they should and perhaps have not. For this reason, another approach must be taken in the fight against corruption. In recent years, the focus of leading countries in the fight against corruption has shifted from mere attention to legal structures and institutions to the use of existing capacities in public oversight, or in other words, whistleblowing. Considering the effects and consequences of whistleblowing on the performance of organizations, the present study attempts to examine the whistleblowing phenomenon for the first time in the country with a systematic approach by using grounded theory and the real experiences of current and past whistleblower organizations in a cultural context. This model could depict the situation of whistleblowing in the country from whistleblowing inputs to its outputs in a tangible way. The experience of whistleblowing in this study was in the form of a comprehensive model and what, why, and how expected consequences of this phenomenon were discovered in the cultural context of the country.

Today, one of the hidden issues that affect the reduction of productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness of organizations, which managers neglect, is the phenomenon of the "mental absence" of employees. Mental absence is a phenomenon in which the mind is absent despite the physical presence of people in the workplace. The present study seeks to explain the model of mental absence based on grounded theory in Mashhad Municipality. The data collection tool was semi-structured interviews and 25 managers and elites familiar with human resource management and psychology were selected as study samples. Data analysis was done in three open, axial, and selective coding stages, and the minds and opinions of respondents were extracted by using Atlas t software and through the qualitative model of the research. The result of this analysis shows the extraction of over 250 initial codes from interviews as well as 52 categories, which are presented in the form of a paradigm. According to this model, conditions such as housing problems, unsuitable neighborhood, family and personal, behavioral, infertility, child, legal, financial, non-timely payment of wages, non-payment of rewards, underestimation of work, insult and blame, cyberspace, and discrimination were identified as causal conditions affecting the central phenomenon, i.e. mental absence.

Communication is one of the most important factors of the human workforce’s development and sublimation and it is enumerated amongst the vital factors for the success of every organization. Management is often recounted as the heart of organization and the communication stream is reminded of as the blood-making flow of the organization. If the stream of communication is flawed by the management, a phenomenon termed organizational stroke emerges. The present study aims at elaboration and designing of a model for organizational stroke in the governmental organizations. This study takes advantage of the qualitative research strategy and uses a method drawn on the data to offer a comprehensive model for the organizational stroke in the governmental organizations. The present study’s findings are the products of interview with 15 experts selected from the area of the governmental management based on a purposive method. Holsti reliability and descriptive validity methods were used to determine the validity and reliability of the research. The analyzes performed in the open, axial and selective coding process showed 391 The key point, 106 open codes, 32 axial codes, 5 selective codes and 2 categories, which led to the emergence of the final research model. The present study’s findings include the indicators of the human Factors, managerial Factors, structural Factors , cultural Factors and Environmental factors that have been found to influence the organizational stroke in the governmental organizations. The outcomes of the organizational stroke and strategies for reducing it were also identified.

In the current situation of the country, which has been accompanied by numerous sanctions and economic turmoil, the tendency to design a brand of indigenous and cultural artifacts with the approach of manifesting values and crystallizing tourism capabilities with the approach of productivity of the results of the provincial planning plan, is in line with the criteria of the slogan of production of the Supreme Leader, which requires the discovery of categories related to scientific branding. Therefore, the present study seeks to develop and explain the branding model of the province's cultural artifacts with a grounded approach. The data collection instrument was a semi-structured interview that was conducted through snowball sampling method with 19 experts. Data analysis was done in three stages of open, axial, and selective coding, and the data were analyzed through MAXQDA2020 software and the qualitative model of the research was extracted from the individuals’ mental patterns and opinions. PLS SMART3 software was used to explain the model. The result of the analysis is the extraction of 125 initial codes from interviews as well as the enumeration of 50 concepts and 6 main categories that are presented in a paradigm model, and finally, by implementing the resulting branding strategy with an emphasis on the visual identity of cultural artifacts, while providing values and the expected customer satisfaction, we can hope for customer loyalty and awareness of product value at the market level and attract more tourist shopping experience.

Islamic council is one of the basic and influential pillars of the urban management system in Iran, which have serious responsibilities. It can be accepted that the full realization of these expectations and missions requires the existence of several contexts, among which, the existence of an active and efficient administrative organization is considered one of the most basic requirements. This study has tried to design a suitable organizational structure for the establishment of this administrative organization for the Islamic City Council. To implement the present study, which is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive in terms of method and is considered as a case study, the qualitative approach and research strategy of "Grounded Theory" has been used; In addition, tools such as researcher-made forms, questionnaires, interviews and checklists were used to collect data. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire and interview questions have been confirmed by experts. The data required for conducting the present qualitative and descriptive research were collected from four sources (including study of legal documents; interview with informants; study of similar organizations and work study). The analysis of data was done with manual coding technique and based on these analyzes, while drawing a process map, a model of a suitable organizational chart was designed for the administrative organization of the Islamic Council of the city, which includes 68 organizational positions and most of it is in the form of a matrix structure and its other components are executable in functional structure. The findings of this study show that Islamic city council needs a kind of matrix structure in its administrative organization for achieving its goals and performing the missions.

Today, the development of countries is based on creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Achieving this goal is facilitated by entrepreneurial leadership. One of the areas of interest for researchers is the need of today's organizations for entrepreneurial leadership in such changing and unstable economic conditions. Entrepreneurial leadership is a style of leadership in which the leader emphasizes the group's performance in achieving organizational goals, which includes discovering and exploiting entrepreneurial opportunities. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to identify and explain the dimensions and components of entrepreneurial leadership in order to present a model. In this research, a qualitative method based on the Grounded Theory approach has been used. The statistical sample of this study includes 14 members of the board of directors and senior managers of Saipa Automotive Group who have been purposefully selected as a group of experts and data collection has been done using semi-structured interviews with these people. Data were analyzed through open, axial, and selective coding, and in the form of 355 codes, 72 concepts, 13 sub-categories, and 5 main categories were classified. Finally, the entrepreneurial leadership model has been designed and presented by identifying and introducing 13 components and 5 dimensions, including Guidance (goal orientation, inspiration, and role modeling), Facilitation (perceptual ability, communication ability, and empowerment), Supporting (developing commitment, motivation and emotional intelligence), Coaching (team orientation and participation), and Entrepreneurship factor (professionalism and entrepreneurial ability).

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.

Sensemaking perspective is one of the strongest conceptual frameworks for explaining human and social phenomena in organizations. The aim of this study is to apply sensemaking perspective to better understand the performance appraisal system in organization. Employees’ perceptions and interpretations and their actions play a pivotal role in performance appraisal effectiveness. Human beings are meaning making creatures and for understanding their actions, one has to enter into their worlds of meaning. The research method of this study is Charmaz’s constructivist Grounded Theory. The sampling method is theoretical sampling and the data gathering method is interviewing. Seventeen emlpyees from two companies with performance appraisal system were interviewed. In line with Charmaz’s constructivist approach to grounded theory, initial and focused coding formed the basis of our data analysis. Findings show that employees’ create four meanings out of performance appraisal: performance appraisal as the managers’ tool of oppression, performance appraisal as all encompassing behavioural record, performance appraisal as a torn paper, and performance appraisal as an unknown phenomenon.In the contexts of performance appraisal employees adopt four action strategies:exhibitive performance, authentic performance, indifference and senseseeking. Analyses demonstrate that the employees’ perceived agency in influencing their performance scores is the main determining factor in relating employees interpretations of performance appraisal to their actions.Given the importance of employees’ interpretations and actions in the effectiveness of HRM practices, this research can help organizations manage employees’ meaning and consequently improve the effectiveness of performance appraisal. Additionally findings of this research enhances the extant understanding of the HRM-performance relationship.

The purpose of this study is to provide a model of trust building process in the country's relief network considering the importance of establishing trust in the supply chain of humanitarian services as well as theoretical poverty in the field of trust building. To perform this study, three major recent events in Tehran province have been selected as a case study. Due to the lack of qualitative research in the field of trust building, using the grounded Theory, 2015 version of Corbin and Strauss, the model of trust building process in the relief network is designed and edited based on interview with 8 experts and members involved in the relief network. Given the importance of establishing trust between the members present in the relief network and the lack of a comprehensive model in this area, the present study aims to design a trust building model among members of the relief network and to examine the critical role of trust in the successful relief process and its reflection.The research findings are classified in three phases of conditions, actions and outcomes. The weak structures of the society and the community management system are a major obstacle to building trust. And insufficient funding, lack of certainty, unsuccessful performance, lack of coordination and cooperation between responsible groups and lack of preparation are the main sources of distrust. The most important finding of this research is the lack of trust in the humanitarian supply chain due to the reliance on public assistance.

Nowadays, competition in various business environments requires confrontation with plenty of opportunities and challenges. It is therefore necessary for the managers to apply some strategic control model for the purpose of predicting, effective strategic guidance of the organization as well as timely control and response to the movements of the rivals and environmental developments. Such a strategic control model should be able to turn the strategic control to a continuous, internal and ongoing stream in addition to guaranteeing the survival of the organization and realization of the organizational goals. The present research is an attempt to explain the pattern of strategic control with a self-control approach using qualitative research method and grounded theory. Data sampling has been made using purposeful and snowball sampling methods. Semi-structured interviews have been used as the tool for gathering data and data analysis has been carried out using grounded theory paradigmatic model. The results confirm that the main category is "implementation of strategic control in the organization with an internal look at strategic control (self-control)" which has been developed by the causal factors and a set of contextual and intervening elements that lead to two main organizational and individual outcomes through strategies.

The imbalance between responsibility and authority means disregarding one of the most important principles of delegation that, given the implications of this issue for the individual and the present research organization, seeks to identify its various dimensions and explain the balancing strategies by analyzing this phenomenon. The strategy used in this study is grounded theory based on emerging approach. The study population consisted of managers of public organizations in Mashhad, among whom 19 were selected through targeted sampling method to reach the theoretical saturation.The research tool was a semi-structured interview. MAXQDA qualitative analysis software was utilized to analyze the data, and open, axial and selective coding processes were usesd in this regard. The accomplished analysis using continuous comparisons in the actual and theoretical coding process showed 193 codes, 72 concepts, 16 classes, and 6 categories, which led to the final model of research on the axial category, named the imbalance between responsibility and authority. Then, the final model of imbalance management which is lucrative to decline negative imbalance consequences and empower its positive results was designed with the help of individual and organizational strategies.

The question of why some of the staff leave the organization and others remain has been challenging the minds of writers and managers for years. despite of more than 60 years have passed since the researches of staff turnover , yet these models could not explain the turnover factors exactly. To cover the shortcomings of traditional turnover models, the idea of job embeddedness was introduced in 2001, which, in spite of, over 16 years since presentation of this concept, has been neglected in indoor literature. The present study seeks to explain the job embeddedness model with the grounded theory approach at the National Iranian South Oil Company. Data collection tools were semi-structured interviews. In order to collect information, a targeted sampling method was used for interviewing 27 managers and staff that were familiar with HRM.data. analysis was conducted in three stages of open , axial and selective coding , using “Atlas Ti “ software .Thus , the qualitative model of research was extracted. The result of this analysis indicates extraction of more than 280 basic codes of interviews as well as 24 concept and 15 categories presented in paradigmatic model. On the basis of this model , managers should try to pursue their own responsibilities in the community and shall have an influential element of social welfare and social culture through extensive social interaction .otherwise, day after day, there will see an outflow of staff turnover.

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).
