The health of organizations, which is formed by the interaction of humans and structures in a dynamic environment, affects the economic and social well-being of society. In macroeconomics, the economic distress index, by combining two variables of inflation and unemployment, provides a snapshot of the state of the economy and provides a number that shows whether the situation has improved or worsened compared to the past or competing countries. At the organizational level, despite numerous performance management tools, there is still no comprehensive and standard index that can express the overall state of the organization in a numerical and clear manner. This article first shows the existing gap by critically reviewing the most important management indicators and then introduces the organizational distress index as a combined solution. This index, with three human, structural and environmental dimensions, provides a final number that measures the degree of organizational disorder. A hypothetical example is also presented to demonstrate the comparative application of this index. Finally, suggestions are made for researchers and executive institutions to develop and operationalize the model.

About a decade has passed since the establishment and implementation of the current performance management system of Iranian public sector organizations according to the criteria of the Civil Service Management Act. Nevertheless, this system has not been scientifically and comprehensively pathologized. Since the possible failures and shortcomings of the current system will cause deep performance gaps if they are placed together and continue, so the purpose of the present research is the pathology of the mentioned system. First, the literature on performance management (at the organizational level) was studied and the selected sources were reviewed, classified, and thematically analyzed. Then, semi-structured interviews with nineteen performance management experts in public sector organizations were conducted based on the extracted themes. Experts were identified by snowball technique considering scientific, experimental and perceptual conditions. Subsequently, inductive thematic analysis of the interviews data and pathology were performed. In this phase, 500 codes were assigned to the data. Findings of this research include a global theme (the failures of mentioned system), 6 organizing themes (major failures including planning problems, legal and contextual deficiencies, proficiency problems and poor insight, conflict of interest problems, executive and logistical deficiencies, theoretical problems in the current model) and 55 basic themes (minor failures). Considering the variety, multiplicity and scope of the mentioned failures, corrective measures should be taken with the participation of various specialties in the field of management knowledge. Some reforms are possible within this system, while others require improvements in other subsystems of the Iranian administrative system.

.Designing the evaluation system, monitoring and overall performance management is essential subject for a state. Through which a government strategic plans with a systematic approach at all levels, monitored and feedback necessary to pave the way for the country's 20-year perspective. In this paper we present a comprehensive model in this regard. To develop the model, first consider research questions, in the form of literature, approaches and models of performance management with performance management in three different levels, including the strategic level, the organizational level and the staff were studied. Then, using qualitative content analysis, content extracted from the scientific literature in the form of three levels and ultimately classified and coded the content networks were drawn. Finally, using any of the methods of qualitative, comprehensive model was extracted. According to the analysis conducted thematic and typology, a total of 27 variables were identified that each of the three levels: strategic, organization and personnel respectively 11, 8 and 8 respectively variable. Finally to validate and test the model,27 persons inferred variables, In a questionnaire survey were adjusted and experts, All the data collected was analyzed using LISREL software and extract variables as well as research prototype has been approved.
