Public organizations as the main elements in the policy implementation process, have to collaborate with different institutional actors. According to the multi-dimensional nature of public problems, the collaboration between public organizations is the cornerstone of failure or succession of policy making and implementation. Without inter-organizational coordination, policy implementation will face to many challenges. The study aims to explore the barriers of collaboration among public organizations in Iran. Unfortunately in Iran, there are few studies which conducted about inter-organizational between public organizations, in particular, the barriers of inter-organizational in public sector. This research is carried out in a qualitative method and hope to develop the coordination methods and practical guidance for Iranian public organizations. This leads to inter-organizational coordination as a mechanism to help policy implementation in Iran. Organizational, inter-organizational, legal, administrative, political, social or cultural, environmental barriers are derived from this research.

This study examines internal audit effectiveness in public sector management and it’s challenges. Research statistical society were used from internal audit directors and staff from university of Payame Noor financial, administrative and budgetary departments and sample elected from province center and central organization of Payame Noor University. Internal audit effectiveness in public sector tested with implementing variables such as organizational independence, formal mandate, unrestricted access, sufficient funding, management perception from internal auditing, competent staff, management support and compliance with professional audit standards. Results show that internal audit effectiveness is positively related to compliance with professional audit standards, unrestricted access, formal mandate, top management support and competent staff. We found no relation between organizational independence and management perception from internal auditing with internal audit effectiveness.Sufficient funding has a positive relation with control function of and negative relation by risk management function. Based on conclusions it’s suggested that internal audit standards should codify and this principle requires top management support and trained staff. Internal audit as a culture should be going in public organizations where the financial and non-financial unrestricted access of them is possible and they have organizational independence.

Nowadays, advances in human knowledge have also influenced marketing, with the emergence of a new field called neural marketing. In this way, it is believed that the study of the biological and physical brain is the most important way to understand the behavior of the buyers of the product or service. The purpose of this study is to design a model for attracting clients with a nerve marketing approach to attract customers in the bank. To achieve this goal, qualitative methodology has been used. The process of collecting and analyzing data in three stages including open coding, axial coding and selective coding led to the selection of categories. Generally, in the coding stage, 55 open source codes were identified. In the open coding step, the data was collected through a visit to the branches of the banks, observation of various processes in providing customer service, negotiation and interviews with banking experts, managers and experts of the bank. In the central coding step, 36 concepts were formed as the concepts of research. Finally, there were 9 items in the selection process using the Farsi constant comparison of categories. In this research, the participants' viewpoints are the implementation of neural marketing and its use as a tool to increase the attraction of customers in banks.

Ambiguity surrounding the concept of competency, as one of the basic concepts in human resource management, is a challenging issue that have been raised by many scholars. The aim of this article is to address this issue, reduce ambiguity of this concept and take steps towards clarifying this concept. For this purpose, conceptual analysis approach, proposed by Suddaby (2010), was used. According to this approach, by conducting four operations on a concept, it can be made clear: 1. providing a proper definition of the concept, 2. analyzing the space, time, and value scope of the concept, 3. demarcating the proposed concept by examining its relation with related concepts, and finally 4. analyzing and displaying logical consistency of the proposed concept and applying it in relevant theoretical frameworks. Based on this conceptual analysis approach, the paper first reviews past efforts made to clarify the concept of competency and then analyzes this concept according to each of the four pillars of conceptual clarification. Finally, a conceptual model is presented based on conducted analysis.

This article focuses on non-compliance to the law and creating commotion by some clients of governmental organizations in order to achieve their personal goals. The purpose of this article is to explain this widespread and emerging problem in the form of a theory known as Commotion-Goal Theory. To design a conceptual framework, the grounded theory was used. Data collection instruments consisted of "exploratory interviews" and "observation". 14 of the managers had at least five years of work experience were selected for interview. For choice of them the purposive sampling and snowball method was used. Also 9 of anarchic clients of some organization were observed and semi-structured interviews were conducted with them. The adequacy of the sample was achieved by theoretical saturation. Over two rounds, the creditability of model was discussed by "focus group" of 12 elites and theoreticians. The designated framework for Ccommotion-Goal Theory is supported literature. The results indicate that 5 factors affects commotion-seeking behavior and 7 intervening variable either strengthens or weakens goal achievement via commotion. According to the results, managers can adopt two approaches to control commotion: improving and removing causal factors of commotion and controlling intervening variables. Finally, to test the proposed framework and the applicability of the theory, certain hypotheses are proposed to be tested by other researchers.

The relationship between person–environment fit and employee's positive work attitudes and behaviors has been well researched. However, there has been no study on the impact of person–environment fit on the innovative work behavior of the employees and how employee innovativeness leads to better job performance. The current study examines the effects of person–job fit (PJ fit) and person–organization fit (PO fit) on innovative work behavior through innovation trust. Statistical population of this study includes all researchers and, employees of a NRI (Niroo Research Institute) of Iran. We used a standard questionnaire of 24 questions for data collection. After validity and reliability analysis these questionnaires were distributed among employees through a randomized sampling method. Collected data was analyzed using factor analysis and structural equations analysis.. Structural Equation Modelling was used to test the research hypothesis. Our findings confirmed the mediating role of innovation trust in the relationship between Person–job fit, person– organization fit and innovative work behavior.Based on these results we made several suggestions.
