Today, governments are facing severe financial shortfalls in financing higher education globally. Therefore, due to the necessity, they have established the tuition policy in higher education and are always looking for strategies to increase the effectiveness of this policy. Based on this, the upcoming research aims to study the policy components of the tuition economy in the public sector. This research was done in two stages. In the first stage, the components of tuition policy in the higher education system were extracted using the Meta-synthesis method. For this purpose, specialized research keywords were searched in reliable scientific databases in the period (1990-2021). Finally, among 229 articles, 107 articles were included in the final analysis. In the second step, the qualitative section's findings were weighted using the Shannon entropy technique. In total, seven determining components of tuition policy; student (individual, family); University (complexity in tuition pricing, diversity and a plurality of university policies, academic quality of the university); Higher education (leadership in higher education, rules, and regulations in higher education); State (legal and political mechanisms of State, collaborative and supportive mechanisms of State); Macro governance (good governance, macro laws, and regulations) and environmental (cultural norms, social norms) were identified. The student and environmental components had more weight than other components. In the end, the solutions for the higher education system were stated, including considering the concept of differential tuition, which means paying attention to various factors in determining tuition policies based on the rate of return of academic fields, degrees, geographical region, etc.

Research on expectations and work preferences of millennium generation as a young generation of the workforce provides an insight to the managers that facilitates to formulate policies to absorb and retain this generation. Accordingly, the present study, by systematically reviewing the results of qualitative researches in this area, presented a list of work expectations of this generation and then, using the Shannon Entropy method, the order of their importance was highlighted. This research is descriptive in terms of purpose and is practical in terms of research type. The statistical population of the study consisted of 68 valid qualitative papers and theses, 21 of which were entered into the cross-synthesis process using a judgmental method. In order to measure the agreement between the two raters, the Cohen's kappa coefficient was used and the CVI index was utilized to assess the validity of the results and the validity and reliability were confirmed. The results showed that, respectively, work-life balance, opportunity for professional growth and development at work, having a fun and enjoyable work environment, flexible working time, challenging tasks, teamwork, supportive work environment, more salaries and benefits, and meaningful work are among the most important millennial job expectations.

Knowledge is increasingly known as a basis for creating a competitive advantage for organizations.Successful knowledge programs need some kind of planning. This research aims to design a pattern for Feasibilityand establishment of knowledge management by using Meta-synthesis method. In order to design and explain a comprehensive pattern, all dimensions of knowledge management have been identified through systematic literature review using 258 papers and Meta-Synthesis method. Then the importance and priority of each proposed dimension was determined using Shannon quantitative method based on content analysis. The results reveal; Rules and Regulations, Meetings, Crisis Management, Commitment toKnowledge program, Evaluation and reward, Documenting experiences, Employee communications (dynamic interactions), Trust, documents and Internal structured knowledge, are the major criteria knowledge management Feasibilityand establishment. At the end the research results demonstrate a three-layer pattern for Feasibilityand establishment of knowledge management.

Civil Service Management Act was passed in Parliament in 2007 and the 5-year pilot period begins.Since the law is an example of public policy making, study the suffering and executive barriers, in addition to being able to improve the law provides, can lead to learning in the field of public policy.The paper is based on research with the aim of identifying injuries and prioritizing these obstacles and barriers to implementation of the Civil Service Management Code, has been developed.In the present study using focus group discussion by senior management experts and taking advantage of the method of qualitative research has been done. Also, content analysis means a scientific analysis of communication messages and Shannon entropy as a way of ensuring that the value of the content of a message shows have been used in research. The results showed that barriers to logic, coherence and realism, structure and resources, the legal environment, the concept and the writing, review and supervision of employees and managers, and theoretical backing to have the highest to the lowest importance as barriers to implementation effective management of the civil service.
