IntroductionOrganizational outcomes are not determined solely by structural, managerial, and environmental factors; they are also influenced by managers' subjective interpretations of uncertainty, random events, and attributional beliefs. Among these beliefs, organizational bad luck represents a collective perception through which organizational failures are attributed to uncontrollable external forces rather than managerial competence or organizational capabilities. Although Attribution Theory, Locus of Control Theory, and Learned Helplessness Theory provide partial explanations for attributional behavior, organizational bad luck has rarely been conceptualized as an independent organizational phenomenon, particularly within the context of public administration. Existing studies have primarily focused on individual-level beliefs about luck, while little attention has been devoted to understanding how such beliefs become institutionalized within organizations through cultural, managerial, structural, psychological, and political mechanisms. Addressing this theoretical gap, the present study aims to identify the dimensions and formative factors of organizational bad luck in Iranian government organizations and to develop an indigenous conceptual model explaining its emergence and persistence. MethodologyThis study adopted an applied qualitative research design using thematic analysis. Data were collected through fifteen semi-structured, in-depth interviews with university faculty members specializing in organizational behavior and public administration, senior and middle managers of government organizations, and experienced public administration consultants in Ilam Province. Participants were selected using purposive snowball sampling until theoretical saturation was achieved. Interview questions focused on the conceptualization, causes, dimensions, and organizational consequences of organizational bad luck. Data analysis followed Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis procedure, including familiarization with the data, initial coding, theme generation, theme review, and theme definition. Constant comparative analysis was employed throughout the coding process. To ensure methodological rigor, member checking, peer review, parallel coding by independent researchers, Holsti's inter-coder agreement coefficient, and content validity assessments using CVR and CVI were conducted. FindingsThe thematic analysis initially generated thirty-five concepts, which were refined into twenty-one final concepts after eliminating overlaps and redundancies. These concepts were subsequently organized into eleven sub-themes and six overarching themes describing the multidimensional nature of organizational bad luck. The identified dimensions included: (1) cultural and organizational factors, characterized by negative organizational culture, managerial instability, and system blaming; (2) cognitive factors, including external attribution of failure, uncertainty about the future, and reduced perceived control; (3) functional factors reflected in poor organizational performance, weak innovation, and low decision quality; (4) supportive and managerial factors involving inadequate organizational support and ineffective leadership; (5) psychological factors encompassing pessimism, external locus of control, emotional distress, and reduced resilience; and (6) political factors associated with political interference, weakened meritocracy, and the influence of governors and parliamentary representatives on organizational decisions. The findings demonstrate that organizational bad luck emerges through the interaction of these six dimensions rather than from individual beliefs alone. Reliability and validity analyses confirmed the robustness of the coding process, with Holsti's coefficients ranging from 0.74 to 0.82 and all CVR and CVI values exceeding accepted thresholds. Discussion and ConclusionThe findings indicate that organizational bad luck constitutes a multidimensional organizational phenomenon rooted in the interaction of cultural, cognitive, managerial, psychological, functional, and political factors rather than an individual cognitive bias. The study extends existing attributional and organizational behavior theories by conceptualizing organizational bad luck as an independent organizational construct shaped by institutional and contextual conditions. Unlike previous research focusing primarily on individual perceptions of luck, this study demonstrates that political interventions, organizational injustice, managerial instability, and dysfunctional organizational culture collectively reinforce fatalistic beliefs and weaken organizational learning, innovation, accountability, and performance. The proposed conceptual model contributes to public administration literature by providing a context-specific framework for understanding organizational bad luck in government organizations. From a practical perspective, the findings suggest that strengthening meritocracy, improving organizational justice, promoting supportive leadership, reducing political interference, and fostering learning-oriented organizational cultures can mitigate fatalistic organizational beliefs and facilitate the transition from organizational helplessness toward organizational responsibility, resilience, and continuous learning.

IntroductionA lot of research in the two fields of human resource management and organizational behavior has been compiled in the form of scientific articles in various Persian journals in recent years, one of the most specialized and important journals is the Quarterly Journal of Government Organization Management, which covers the latest scientific findings related to the fields of human resource management (recruitment, attraction, employment, talent retention, training and development, compensation, etc.) and organizational behavior (at three individual, group, and organizational levels). Its goal is to improve the scientific level of management specialists and familiarize organizational experts with the latest achievements and scientific findings related to the fields of human resources and organizational behavior. Human resources of any organization are the main factor of its life, and therefore understanding humans is essential for its effective management. In today's world, human resources, as one of the basic pillars of any organization, play an important role in achieving organizational goals and strategies. However, preserving and maintaining this valuable capital is a fundamental priority for any institution and society, which can have more impact on organizational growth and survival than any other factor. However, many organizations face numerous challenges in managing their human resources. These challenges include attracting and retaining talent, improving employee skills, creating an appropriate organizational culture, and improving intra-organizational communications. Human resource management is based on the concepts of organizational behavior, which enables the realization of organizational goals through systematic efforts to recognize, understand, and control human behavior. It is worth mentioning that the necessity of conducting research in the field of human resources, especially in today's world, which is facing rapid economic, social, and technological changes, is of great importance, especially due to the research gap in the analysis of research works of publications in the two fields of human resources and organizational behavior in recent years. This research can help advance and improve the performance of organizations by identifying and filling the research gaps in this field. In this research, the aim is to examine the growth and evolution of this type of study from a methodological perspective. This research is a review of the 10-year publication history of the Quarterly Journal of Government Organization Management. MothodologyThis research is developmental and applied in terms of purpose. Because its results help solve problems related to methodological weaknesses in the field of human resources and organizational behavior. The approach of this qualitative research is based on content analysis with a meta-analysis strategy for analyzing articles, which examines the appropriateness and correctness of research methods in primary studies, and helps to methodize the methodological problems of social research. Because this research seeks to examine and analyze the frequency of research methods in the Journal of Government Organization Management, the meta-study method has been used. The data collection method is to review existing documents and documents. The statistical population of the research is all articles in the Quarterly Journal of Government Organization Management between 2012 and 2017. Sampling was not used in this research and all articles published in the aforementioned quarterly were analyzed in a census manner. A total of 169 articles were analyzed from the perspective of 9 indicators including; The number of articles, research areas (organizational behavior and human resources), the academic field of the responsible author and the number of authors in each article, types of research, research approaches, data collection tools, data sampling methods, data analysis methods, and geographical distribution were examined. To examine the validity of this study, each of the indicators in question was compared with other related articles, and in each case, the differences were examined and revised. In addition, before starting to analyze all the articles, a framework was designed and evaluated on 20, and the strengths and weaknesses of the list were identified and resolved. To examine the reliability of the analyses conducted in this article, 13 articles (7% of the total articles) were randomly selected and made available to academic experts (Krippendorf, 1980). Their results and classifications were 90% consistent with the classifications made by the researchers of this article.FindingsAccording to the research findings, from 2012 to 2017, 169 articles were published in the Journal of Government Organization Management in the two fields of organizational behavior and human resources. The largest number of articles published was in the field of organizational behavior, which was from 2016 to 2022. Regarding the level of collaboration between authors, most of the research was conducted with the collaboration of three people (61 cases) and four people (61 cases), followed by two people (31 cases). The classification of methods used in this research journal includes; fundamental, developmental, and applied methods. Accordingly, fundamental research is conducted with the aim of testing theories, describing relationships between phenomena, and adding to the existing body of knowledge in a specific subject area. Applied research seeks to develop applied knowledge in a specific field; in this type of research, the goal is to move towards the practical application of knowledge. Developmental research also includes a set of processes to develop and determine the suitability of educational products such as plans, methods, and programs. According to the findings of this study, out of a total of 196 articles reviewed, 72 percent of the articles were applied, 6 percent were developmental, 15 percent were fundamental, and 7 percent were mixed. Regarding the composition of the articles in terms of approach (quantitative, qualitative, mixed), it can be said that out of a total of 196 articles, 60 articles (35.5%) were conducted with a quantitative approach, 49 articles (29%) with a qualitative approach, and another 60 articles (35.5%) with a mixed approach in the areas of organizational behavior and human resources, which showed that the dominant approach was quantitative and mixed. In most of the research conducted in the fields of organizational behavior and human resources in this quarterly, 72 articles (42%) used mixed methods to collect data, which, considering the mixed approach of most of the research, used a combination of questionnaires and interviews. Also, according to the findings of this research, the sampling method of most of the articles was purposive (21%) and then random (20%). The data analysis method of most of the articles was structural equations with 23%. Also, factor analysis was 13% and qualitative analysis methods (grounded data, theme analysis, content analysis) were 32%. To examine and determine the topics in the two fields of organizational behavior and human resources and the contribution of each in the published works, the classification of study levels in both fields was used, taking into account the main variables discussed in each article. Considering the titles and keywords used in the articles, the number of articles in each field was separated and it was found that the most articles were in the field of organizational behavior (73 percent). With the studies conducted regarding the geographical distribution of universities in the country and also the type of university (government, non-government, Payam Noor, free), government, Payam Noor and free universities in Tehran province had the highest share of writing the articles under study with a frequency of 73 percent. Discussion and ConclusionThe complexities of human behavior, the diverse needs of humans, and how to meet them in organizations are each a separate topic that has come to the aid of management science and is called organizational behavior. The study of individual behavior in workplaces has long been of interest to management scientists, but a topic that has emerged in recent decades and has attracted the attention of psychologists and sociologists in addition to behaviorists is called organizational behavior. In the field of organizational behavior, systematic and organized study replaces subjective judgments, meaning that scientific documents and evidence collected under monitored and controlled conditions are evaluated and measured in a rational manner. On the other hand, the development of organizational behavior has gained importance as a key strategy in improving the efficiency and performance of Iranian government organizations. Organizational behavior in government organizations studies and analyzes behaviors, communications, and interactions between individuals and groups in the environment of these organizations. This concept includes various aspects such as organizational commitment, employee motivation, job satisfaction, organizational culture, and communication processes, all of which affect the overall performance of the organization. Considering the growth trend of human resource management and organizational behavior research, it shows that the amount of research with a public management approach (organizational behavior and human resources) has grown significantly in recent years, and this could be due to a serious change in the expansion and change of researchers' mental maps in this direction. Another point that is noteworthy in this meta-study is the limited use of empirical data in research; therefore, it is necessary to create a basis for establishing greater communication between other management scholars and executive managers with this field of knowledge by increasing the interest in this type of data in research. One of the important and influential fields in the country is the field of human resource and organizational behavior studies. Since the knowledge created in this field is used as a basis in various government departments, it has a serious impact on the country's government system, and its reform can improve and resolve existing concerns in this field.

Introduction
Today, successful organizations are striving to continuously review their performance in order to maintain their survival and growth, and to improve their performance if possible. One of these important capabilities that affects organizational performance is organizational transparency.
Organizational transparency is a key factor in building trust and is achieved when a company responds to requests for information about its management. Transparency will also make it possible for an organization's real information to be used by different people. Organizational transparency represents the assurance of openness within the organization, accountability, and visibility, which have always been demanded by various stakeholders in society as universal ideals; therefore, the increasing demand for insight, clarity, accountability, and improved access to authentic and authentic knowledge in organizations has led to organizational transparency playing an effective role in improving and developing organizational affairs and helping organizations achieve sustainable competitive advantage, effective performance, and increased organizational effectiveness.
In this context, promoting accountability and transparency of governments without having transparent and accountable organizations seems impossible. In such circumstances, the lack of organizational transparency in an atmosphere of competitive pressures provides the potential for unethical and criminal behavior. Transparency leads to the formation of effective communications, increased competition, improved organizational trust, reduced organizational tensions and conflicts, and improved the quality of decision-making.
Given the shortcomings of the laws on transparency and the lack of comprehensive study of it and in some cases negligence on the part of the implementers, the issue of lack of transparency requires more attention and scientific analysis than ever before. The laws passed and the measures taken to establish organizational transparency in the government sector have not been very effective so far, and the evidence of this is Iran's unfavorable position in the corruption perception index in recent years. In the opinion of the authors of this article, the lack of full implementation of e-government components, the lack of attention to establishing democracy indicators, and the low quality improvement index of bureaucracy, etc. in some government organizations in the Tabriz metropolis were the main reasons for strengthening the orientation, bias, and prejudice regarding the lack of transparency. Given the sensitivity and importance of transparency in government organizations, this research seeks to identify the factors affecting the lack of transparency in government organizations. The main question of the research is: What are the factors that cause the lack of transparency in government organizations in the Tabriz metropolis?
Methodology
In terms of interpretive paradigm, in terms of exploratory purpose, in terms of fundamental nature, in terms of cross-sectional time, survey data collection techniques and data analysis method is content analysis. In terms of methodology, the current research is of a mixed type (qualitative and quantitative) with a sequential-exploratory approach. In this way, qualitative data was collected first, and then, using them, a survey was made in the test environment, and quantitative data was collected. The stages of their implementation were consecutive and the researchers tried to discover and identify the factors affecting the lack of transparency. In the first stage, using a qualitative approach and using structured interviews with experts, the foundation data method was used. The exploration of categories was categorized using the inductive approach (part to whole) in the form of sub-categories, sub-categories and main categories. At this stage, the researcher obtained the codes by conducting 15 interviews and after finalizing the three stages of coding (open coding, central coding and selective coding) and summarizing them, all the selected codes were again provided to the expert group and correction comments were made. They were obtained and applied regarding the selection of core and optional codes and finally the entire coding process was approved by the expert group, then in the second phase, each of the subcategories and subcategories was surveyed in the form of a questionnaire with a Likert scale. 5 options have been prepared and distributed among the statistical sample in order to confirm and check it in the government organizations of Tabriz city, and quantitative data were collected and analyzed using the questionnaire tool. The data of the quantitative section were tested using the method of confirmatory factor analysis and structural equations, and finally the factors affecting the lack of transparency were identified.
Findings
In the qualitative part of the research, 133 subcategories were categorized in the form of 51 subcategories and 6 main categories of anti-transparency government, anti-transparency structure, anti-transparency culture, anti-transparency employees, anti-transparency atmosphere, and anti-transparency managers. The relationships of all research components were confirmed through the structural equation test.
Practical Implications
The reluctance to whistle-blowing among employees and the existence of economic and social crises due to frequent repetition in the process of interviews were selected as the central categories of the research. Also, among the dimensions, the anti-transparency government category with a t-statistic of 6.42 and an effect size of 0.88 has the highest impact, and the category of anti-transparency managers with a t-statistic of 6.82 and an effect size of 0.85 has the lowest impact on There was a lack of transparency.
Discussion and Conclusion
In the early stages, the lack of previous researches, led to the presentation of the initial model based on the researchers inference. According to the results of the structural equation test, the two components "lack of attention to justice and public interest in policy-making" and "lack of attention to transparency in the design of policies" are the most important factors affecting the lack of transparency. Based on the obtained results, giving importance and prioritizing justice and transparency of policy design goals for the general public has a high effect on the formation and creation of a transparent government. The working procedures of the governments should be at a level of transparency and follow up and gain the interests of the society that the statesmen themselves consider any kind of concealment contrary to the principles and current administrative procedures and except in special political and strategic cases and in all cases that gain national interests. It is necessary to remove the confidentiality of programs in other current government affairs and processes and to be a leader in the transparency of affairs so that government organizations are encouraged to be accountable.

One of the global phenomena that has existed for a long time with the emergence of early forms of government and is considered an important factor in causing damage to the policies and public interests of organizations is called administrative trader. Therefore, according to the damages caused by the formation of this phenomenon, the present research was conducted with the aim of identifying and analyzing the antecedents and consequences of administrative trader in government organizations using the FCM method. In terms of its purpose, this research is classified as a descriptive survey research. Also, in terms of the type of data collected, it has a mixed nature, and for this reason, in terms of research philosophy, it has a comparative and inductive approach. The statistical population of the research consists of experts including university professors and organizational managers and employees, 20 of them were selected as sample members using the purposeful sampling method and based on the principle of theoretical adequacy. The data collection tool in the qualitative part of the interview and in the quantitative part is a questionnaire, which was examined by the same sample as the previous one in the interview part. The validity and reliability of the tools have been confirmed by using content validity and intra-coder-inter-coder reliability for the interview and content validity and re-test reliability for the questionnaire. In this research, content analysis and coding method was used in qualitative part and fuzzy cognitive map method in quantitative part for data analysis. The research results include identifying and analyzing the antecedents and consequences of administrative trader in government organizations. According to the findings of the research, among the antecedents of administrative trader, the lack of organizational transparency and the inefficiency of supervisory mechanisms are the most important antecedents, and among the identified consequences, the phenomenon of organizational cronyism has been identified as the most important consequence of administrative trader. Considering that in Iran, government organizations constitute a major part of the existing organizations in the society, therefore, identifying and analyzing the antecedents andconsequences of administrative speculation in government organizations can help improve efficiency, transparency and trust in organizations and ultimately lead to the improvement of services provided by the government to citizens.

In the mushroom management style, employees are kept in the dark and are only given knowledge and information within the framework of their tasks.. In fact, managers always hoard knowledge and information to protect their own interests and lead employees to isolation. The present study was conducted with the aim of designing a mushroom management style model in government organizations.This research is a mixed research (qualitative-quantitative) in the deductive-inductive paradigm and has an applied objective and a descriptive-survey nature. The statistical population in the qualitative and quantitative parts of the research consists of managers of government organizations and university professors, who were selected as samples using the purposive sampling method and based on the principle of theoretical adequacy. The data collection tool in the qualitative part is a semi-structured interview, the validity and reliability of which were confirmed using content validity and intra-coder and inter-coder reliability, respectively. On the other hand, in the quantitative part of the research, a researcher-made questionnaire (based on data from the qualitative part) was used to collect data, the validity of which was accepted using content validity and test-retest reliability. By analyzing the data using content analysis and software, the indicators of the mushroom management style in government organizations were identified, including maintaining power and status, poor communication system, lack of employee awareness, hoarding of knowledge, feeling of incompetence, increasing employee dependency, poor performance, conflicting behaviors, trickle-down sharing of knowledge, rumor-spreading, reduced motivation, lack of participation, organizational pessimism, authoritarianism, leaving the service, and reduced organizational credibility. Finally, a model of the mushroom management style in government organizations was designed using a structural-interpretive approach. The results show that reduced organizational credibility, organizational pessimism, leaving the service, and poor performance are the achievements of mushroom management in government organizations.

One of the main duties of managers in organizations is to select and appoint people to key positions, and in some cases, managers put weaker people in key and main positions in order to protect their management seats. This type of management style is known as spider management and creates strategic challenges for the organization. The main goal of this research is to identify the antecedents and consequences of spider management in government organizations. The current research is an exploratory qualitative research, which is thematic analysis in terms of data analysis method. The statistical population of this research includes experts and experts in the field of human resources management in government organizations and university professors who are familiar with the research topic. Using the snowball sampling method, 18 people were selected. The main tool of data collection in this research is a semi-structured interview. The results showed that a total of 14 organizing themes in the form of 14 universal themes were identified as antecedents of spider management in government organizations and also 10 organizing themes in the form of 3 pervasive themes were identified as suffixes of spider management in government organizations. The results of the theme analysis showed that the antecedents of spider management in government organizations are: government of incompetents, work politics, governance of destructive culture and collective corruption. The consequences of spider management in government organizations include: the cycle of inefficiency, the vicious circle of incompetence and the weakening of psychological security.

Methodology In terms of the purpose, the research method is a part of applied research, and in terms of implementation and the method of data collection, it is descriptive and correlational. The statistical population includes all the female managers of government organizations in Ilam province in 1402, numbering 127 people, based on Morgan's table, 95 people were selected for this study by simple random sampling method. The data collection tool in this research was Cheng et al.'s patriarchy questionnaire (2000), Steinkamp's organizational trauma questionnaire (2014) and Zohragin Schmidt's leadership questionnaire (2008). The validity and reliability of these questionnaires were confirmed through face validity and Cronbach's alpha. Findings The results of this research showed that the relationship between organizational ambition and organizational trauma (-0.639) is negative and significant, the relationship between organizational patriarchy and organizational trauma (0.351) is positive and significant, and the relationship between organizational patriarchy and organizational ambition (976) -0/) was negative and significant. Also, the research results showed that the relationship between organizational patriarchy and organizational trauma with the mediating role of organizational ambition (0.624) was positive and significant. The results of this research showed that patriarchal management causes organizational problems, and in this regard, organizational ambition can act as an effective factor in improving performance and reducing trauma in organizations. Therefore, it is suggested that managers act by creating motivation, healthy competition and promoting a positive work environment in order to achieve growth and progress in the organization and prevent organizational trauma.

Considering the importance and vital role of governance as a mechanism for the development of countries, the current research aimed to extract and introduce the features and characteristics of governance based on Mohammad Ali Foroughi's political opinions and thoughts as a historical doctrine. In this research, the interpretive paradigm and inductive approach were used. This research was exploratory and based on a qualitative method. The desired strategy for data collection was content analysis, and the data collection tool was the copying of documents, in which the book, letters, and manuscripts of Mohammad Ali Foroughi were analyzed as a statistical sample. The findings showed that the indicators of governance coordinates of Mohammad Ali Foroughi's opinions are numerous and diverse.

In government organizations, the productivity of human resources and their durability are of great importance. Because these organizations are responsible for providing public services and meeting the needs of citizens, the use of power and organizational participation tactics is vital to improving the performance and durability of manpower. Therefore, this research aimed to identify the factors of power and organizational participation tactics, durability, and productivity of human resources in government organizations of Kerman province and provide its model. The research applied a semi-structured interview with 15 experts, including senior managers and faculty professors, through purposeful sampling for data collection. Data were then analyzed using the themed analysis method. The reliability was examined and approved using the two-coding and test-retest methods. To calculate the agreement, the Capa coefficient was used. The results showed that this pattern includes organizational participation, manpower sustainability, power-application tactics, and human resource efficiency. Finally, the results were categorized into 49 basic, 18 organized, and four pervasive themes. Power application tactics and organizational participation in government agencies play a vital role in the sustainability and productivity of human resources. Creating a space of cooperation and interaction, encouraging participation in organizational decision-making, providing educational opportunities, improving work spirit, and promoting trust in the organization can contribute to productivity and manpower sustainability. Therefore, keen use of these tactics can lead to improved performance and quality of services provided by government agencies.

Understanding organizational behavior has never been more important to managers than it is today. In some social interactions, people in various situations, out of devotion, interest, and in extreme cases, flatter and flatter people who are likely to gain power or potential in the future. These behaviors can be considered and analyzed in the context of organizational behavior management science.This study aims to provide an accounting management model in Iranian government organizations. Accordingly, 29 Latin and 78 Persian articles were selected that were selected by snowball method. After theoretical saturation, textual content analysis was performed and the output of the work was shown by Max QDA software. Then, the obtained data were provided to 14 experts by a questionnaire (quantitative and qualitative) and after three rounds of qualitative Delphi, 27 criteria and 196 sub-criteria were identified and the resulting pattern was obtained. Based on the results for managing accountable action in government organizations, managers should be careful about the criterion of opportunistic behavior, which was the most effective criterion and had the most interaction with other criteria. on the other hand, the criterion of selfish individualism is the most influential. The criterion of utilitarianism is the most important criterion and the sub-criterion of politics as an exchange is in the first priority among the sub-criteria.

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.

Cameron and Quinn's organizational culture assessment tool has been used as one of the most valid models of organizational culture to identify the prevailing organizational culture in many organizations. The purpose of this study is to critique, analyze the weaknesses and identify the main discourses towards this model in Iranian government organizations. For this purpose, the Cameron and Quinn organizational culture assessment tool presented in 1999 was carefully studied and the required data were collected through a library study of available resources and a two-stage semi-structured interview (20 people, 15 people). The statistical population in the present study was all managers and organizational experts in government organizations. In the first part of the research, 20 interviews were conducted with experts who were purposefully selected and 94 meaningful units, 33 codes, 12 categories, and 4 themes of data were counted using directional qualitative content analysis. The reliability of the findings of the first part using the method P. Scott was approved. In the second part of the study, to analyze the discourses and enumerate the main discourses about this model, 15 experts were interviewed and three main functional, contingent and non-functional discourses were counted by the critical discourse analysis method. Then, using the opinion of experts with the Vasspas ranking method, the main discourses were ranked with non-functional, contingent, and non-functional priority. This means that from the point of view of experts in government organizations, the tool for assessing the organizational culture of Cameron and Quinn is not suitable for implementation in Iranian government organizations. Finally, suggestions were provided to improve the model.

Dissemination and free access to information of government organizations with constant care and removal of obstacles related to it guarantees the health of society and the organization. Therefore, the phenomenon of self-censorship in the public relations of government organizations should be considered as one of the major obstacles in this direction. Recognizing and analyzing the causes and contexts of this phenomenon can be a necessary and important step in removing these obstacles. This study was conducted with the aim of in-depth study of the experiences of public relations managers of government organizations in Yazd. It wants to discover and identify their causes and motives in self-censorship. This research has been done in the framework of qualitative studies and in a phenomenological way. The reliability of the research data has been verified based on four criteria of validity; Portability; Verifiability; And reliability. The research findings were classified into 15 sub-topics and 4 main topics. The data show that four factors are influential at the individual, organizational, and extra-organizational levels, including insecurity and need, command-orientation, adherence to the prevailing discourse, and expediency. Considering the great impact of the mentioned factors on the views of public relations managers of government organizations in self-censorship, it can be concluded that facilitating the flow of information as one of the necessities of community development requires serious attention of officials and policy makers to the position and role of public relations.

A paradigm is central to leading organizations today: human capital. Talent management can turn human capital knowledge into Added Value. The aim of this study is to future the plans of the government and parliament to attract and retain talent and to categorize the possible future in the field of talent management in the final governmental organization of Iran by creating favorable, undesirable, acceptable and tolerable scenarios. This research has been done by qualitative method and Futures Studies. The type of applied research is case study and trend study. The data collection method is the Delphi method. The Delphi panel included 10 academics and executives from government agencies. Structural analysis and interaction analysis were used in this study. The results of the present study showed that the possible future in relation to talent management includes a range that on the one hand has led to the encouragement of talents and by using a strategic document has led to attracting and retaining elites and talents in organizations. On the other hand, it will lead to the loss of talents and their withdrawal from government and national organizations. Based on the idea of incentives, government agencies should review, continue, and modify their incentives to take any action to retain talent and strive to sustain and retain talented individuals by providing appropriate and motivating benefits. On the basis of bribery, government organizations, while encouraging and giving special privileges to talented and elite people, must have the tools to encourage their human capital so that the greed for foreign facilities is removed from their hearts.
