Today, due to the ever-increasing changes in the environment, the flexibility of human resources is considered a factor in the survival and development of organizations. In this regard, the purpose of this study was to design a Human Resource Flexibility Model for governmental organizations in Lorestan province. The current research is survey research in terms of method, applied research in terms of purpose, descriptive-field research in terms of data collection, and inductive in terms of strategy. Using the meta-synthesis approach, resources related to the topic were selected and after the seven steps of this method, the dimensions and indicators of human resource flexibility were obtained. Then, to confirm, complete, and localize the obtained model in-depth and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 academic and executive experts. Sampling was done by targeted snowball method to select experts. The results of the interviews were analyzed and coded by the thematic analysis method. The validity and reliability of both stages were calculated by the agreement method of the two coders. Its value was 0.83. After integrating the results of meta-synthesis and theme analysis, the human resources flexibility model includes 8 dimensions of functional flexibility (with 6 indicators), skill flexibility (6 indicators), behavioral flexibility (3 indicators), flexibility of professional competencies (10 indicators), ethical flexibility (6 indicators), communicational flexibility (6 indicators), knowledge flexibility (8 indicators), and technological flexibility (12 indicators). Managers should use a different combination of models and their dimensions to achieve optimal conditions of flexibility.

The present research has been done to design the core competency model of human resource managers and identify the dimensions components and factors affecting it. This study is a mixed research (qualitative-quantitative. In terms of purpose, it is applied, and in terms of exploratory method, it is considered a content analysis type. The coding and classification process was implemented in MAXQDA 2018 software. The codes were examined and analyzed for validation with the fuzzy Delphi method and measured in the PLS software at the quantitative stage. In this research, the core competence dimensions of human resource managers and the factors affecting them have been identified and categorized. In the first stage with the qualitative approach, eight dimensions of basic competencies, including cognitive insight, entrepreneurial, leadership, communication, individual, technical and specialized, moral and psychological competencies, and six influential factors were formulated. In the second stage, with a quantitative approach, the impact of six factors on the core competence of human resource managers was measured and confirmed.

In the current research, the content of the lectures of Tadbir and Omid government in the field of macro management of government organizations, the first and second term of the presidency, were analyzed from the perspective of the application of cohesive devices and in the framework of the role orientation of Halidi and Hassan (1976). The research was conducted in a descriptive and analytical way, and its content was four lectures in the field of macro management of government organizations, which were randomly selected. Cohesive devices were extracted in four lectures and their frequency was measured. The percent of occurrence of each device was also obtained. After checking the data, it was determined, the first lecture with 474 items, the second with 444 items, the fourth with 421 items, and the third with 411 items are in the first to fourth ranks in the application of cohesive devices, respectively. In the first lecture, reference was the most and knowledge and time were the least cohesive devices. In the second lecture, repetition and introduction were the most and the least cohesive devices, respectively. In the third lecture as well, conjunctive elements were the most and knowledge was the least cohesive devices and in the fourth lecture, reference was the most and introduction was the least cohesive devices. In order to perform a more detailed statistical analysis and find significance in the distribution of cohesive devices in each of the lectures, the chi-square test was used. Based on the results obtained at level p<0.05 there is a significant difference between the distribution of cohesive devices used in each of the lectures.

Structures and processes in any organization are the most important dimension, in other words, the software of organizations to perform their missions. The judiciary, with the serious mission of justice and the realization of justice in society, has complex and multidimensional structures and processes, and based on these structures and processes, it carries out this serious mission. In fact, it should be said that the effectiveness of the judiciary as a feedback loop of the country's governance system will have a direct impact on the overall efficiency of the system, and therefore continuous identification of damage to the structures and processes of the judiciary can improve the performance of the judiciary and consequently It will become the system of governing the country. The present study aimed to identify the structural damage of the judiciary; After studying the Judicial Transformation Document, and other related research in this field, and interviewing judges and experts, 83 structural injuries were counted and classified into 11 general categories. In the next step, using interpretive structural modeling and Mikmak analysis, they were prioritized and classified, and it was identified that the four disadvantages were the lack of specialized proceedings and the rules of procedure; Lack of relative transparency in litigation; Lack of appropriate mechanisms for feedback, learning and intelligence of the judiciary and weakness in the budgeting system and allocation of financial resources; Is one of the most effective structural damages in the judiciary and the lack of coherent process mechanisms to reduce delays, which is the most important issue in the judiciary, has been identified as one of the most effective damages that the judiciary must eliminate eleven damages at higher levels solving and thereby reduce trial delays.

There is a desire to survive in any organization. Profitability in the private sector and public satisfaction in the public sector guarantee survival. That is why the quality of education in both public and private sectors is essential. The private sector has surpassed the public sector in the use of management patterns. The present study was conducted in a qualitative approach framework by using the grounded theory research method. Semi-structured interviews were used for data collection. Using snowball sampling method, 18 experts familiar with the concept of human resource (HR) excellence including university professors, HR managers of governmental organizations, and experts in the field of excellence were interviewed. Data analysis was conducted in open, axial and selective coding and the desired pattern was designed based on the results. The pattern includes: causal conditions (inefficiencies, expectations and requirements), the main phenomenon (HR excellence in the governmental organization), contextual condition (the theory of new public service, culture of excellence and rules), intervening conditions (sub-models, governmental management features and differences between public and private sectors), strategies (government, politicians, HR organization, HR functions, administrative ethics, people, partners and family), results (organizational and HR), outcomes(organizational, community and idealistic), and perception (people and colleagues).

Managing the public service motivation of public organizations employees is the biggest challenge facing today's public sector managers because the existentail philosophy of public administration is to serve the citizen in the light of the presence of public servants with a high public service motivation. In this regard, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of organizational cynicism on the public service motivation, explaining the role of the perception of organizational politics and organizational goal ambiguity as moderating variables. In this research, by using a simple random sampling method, 926 employees of public sector under the supervision of 18 ministries of the country were selected as sample. A standard questionnaire was used to collect data. Validity and reliability of each of the variables were confirmed. Data analysis was performed by Spearman correlation test and stepwise regression using SPSS software. The results show that organizational cynicism leads to a reduction in the public service motivation, and the employees’ negative perception of the organizational politics moderates the relationship between organizational cynicism and the public service motivation in a negative manner. Additionally, the combination of organizational goal ambiguity with the perception of organizational politics intensifies this relationship.

Nowadays, competition in various business environments requires confrontation with plenty of opportunities and challenges. It is therefore necessary for the managers to apply some strategic control model for the purpose of predicting, effective strategic guidance of the organization as well as timely control and response to the movements of the rivals and environmental developments. Such a strategic control model should be able to turn the strategic control to a continuous, internal and ongoing stream in addition to guaranteeing the survival of the organization and realization of the organizational goals. The present research is an attempt to explain the pattern of strategic control with a self-control approach using qualitative research method and grounded theory. Data sampling has been made using purposeful and snowball sampling methods. Semi-structured interviews have been used as the tool for gathering data and data analysis has been carried out using grounded theory paradigmatic model. The results confirm that the main category is "implementation of strategic control in the organization with an internal look at strategic control (self-control)" which has been developed by the causal factors and a set of contextual and intervening elements that lead to two main organizational and individual outcomes through strategies.

Mum effect is the situation when a person decides to withhold important information for certain reasons. The main identity of the Mum Effect is the greater reluctance of the individual to give bad news about his desire to give good news and thus to be silent. The main purpose of the present research is to influence Hofstede culture dimensions on the employee performance and organizational communication given the impact of Mum Effect. The statistical population of this study is employees of governmental organizations in Semnan. According to Morgan table, a sample of 285 people was selected. Data gathering tool was a standard questionnaire (Hofstede, 1994; Ramingwong & Snansieng, 2013; Yildirim, 2014 and Koopmans et al., 2012). Structural equations’ modeling was used to analyze research data with Smart-PLS software. The results showed that power distance index, individualism, masculinity, uncertainty avoidance and long-term orientation have a positive and significant effect on the Mum Effect. Other findings of the research have a negative effect on the Mum Effect on employee performance with β (-0/488) and organizational communication with β (-0/514). What distinguishes this study from the studies of the dimensions of Hofstede''''s culture is that the present study emphasizes the role of the variable of Mum Effect that was neglected in previous research.
