Improving the decision-making and performance of the country's government organizations requires the necessary mechanisms to benefit from previous experiences, which is known as organizational memory. This study is an applied-developmental research conducted to design and validate the model of organizational memory in government organizations of the country. In the qualitative part, the underlying factors and their relationship patterns were identified using the grounded theory method. For this purpose, an interview was conducted with 18 managers of the country's macro-policy and program organization with the purposeful sampling method. After designing the research paradigm, the partial least squares method was used to validate the model. In this section, a questionnaire tool was used to collect data, and the views of 93 managers and related experts were used with the stratified sampling method. The results of this research showed that the central category of organizational memory consists of four cognitive, descriptive, procedural, and behavioral memory factors. Knowledge management provides the background and conditions, and things like the upstream documents of the system play an intervening role. Organizational learning, continuous improvement, and existing facilities play a causal role. Finally, the results have shown that organizational memory, if accompanied by the adoption of necessary strategies at the individual and organizational levels, can provide the conditions for improving job and organizational performance and ultimately increase client satisfaction and organizational productivity.

Attracting private sector participation in public sector participatory projects in the country requires an organizational framework tailored to the expectations of the private sector, and the purpose of this study as an applied, descriptive, exploratory and mixed research is to provide a public sector organizational model in order to attract private sector participation in public projects, that has been done in two stages, qualitatively and quantitatively. In the qualitative stage, the factors influencing the decision of the private sector investor in the form of codes, concepts, sub-themes, and main themes have been determined with a phenomenological approach. Then, these organizational factors are classified into effective and efficient factors by DEMATEL method. The statistical population of the study consisted of private investors in public projects and experts of this era, in which 13 private investors and 9 experts were selected in a judgmental and purposeful manner and participated in interviews. Findings show that eleven major themes in the public sector including systems, advertising, business processes, organizational governance, human resources, communications, trust-building, branding, physical evidence of the organization, economic and social attractiveness of projects are influential in the private sector decision to partner with the public sector. Among them, organizational processes, human resources involved in the process of attracting partnerships, and organizational governance of the public sector are the most influential factors.

The present study was designed to design a model of performance management in the public sector of the country in two phases of design and evaluation of the model. In this section, the model was designed in a qualitative manner by carrying out semi-structured and in-depth interviews with a sample of 11 experts and analyzing the themes of their interviews. The sample of the qualitative section of this research is selected in terms of theoretical saturation and is targeted by selective sampling method. The data collected in this section was confirmed using Amos software analysis and exploratory components of the model through confirmatory factor analysis. In the quantitative stage, 60 managers and expert experts of performance appraisal offices were selected by 20 ministries and national organizations and 31 provincial units of the organization of management and planning without sampling. The model was evaluated through five indexes of simplicity and ease of use, applicability, completeness, accuracy, innovation by using a standard questionnaire whose validity and reliability were confirmed. According to the findings of this research, access to an optimal model that can cover all aspects and requirements of public sector performance management around the policies and with the separation of the role of each of the effective actors. This should be done with consideration of the role of each actor and their activities. ; Besides determining outcomes or immediate results, mediation and, ultimately, the strategic outcomes of each actor while paying attention to the components and relationships between these sectors.

Ten of the remaining pairwise comparison matrix provides a convenience sample of clients state-owned banks (National Bank and farming) were The fuzzy hierarchical analysis of dozens of people in need of care to measure responsive behavior in the first place And standards of appropriate behavior with colleagues of the importance of democratic behavior from the perspective of clients were in tenth place.

Many background factors impress the failure or success of a project such as parent organizations. Parent organizations have different functions in front of its under-consideration projects that some of them are value creation and some are value destruction. This issue explains the importance of recognition of parent companies communication way to its subset projects. In this research that has done in two phases and based on mixed approach (quantitative and qualitative), at the first phase, it was tried to specify the parent organization communication way to projects by studying on 6 active-governmental project-oriented organization in oil industry and interview with 21 of top managers and project managers. According to the results of this phase, value creation function included supporting, central services and resources, integrating and synergy actions. On the other hand, value destruction function included value destruction functions arising from supporting, value destruction functions arising from resource presentation and central services (overhead costs), value destruction functions arising from synergy actions (resource scarcity) and value destruction functions arising from integrating actions (complexity). At the second phase of the research, studying 8 organizations out of 10 active project-oriented oil companies in Tehran, these functions were prioritized using survey method, the questionnaire and statistical sampling methods.
