Islamic council is one of the basic and influential pillars of the urban management system in Iran, which have serious responsibilities. It can be accepted that the full realization of these expectations and missions requires the existence of several contexts, among which, the existence of an active and efficient administrative organization is considered one of the most basic requirements. This study has tried to design a suitable organizational structure for the establishment of this administrative organization for the Islamic City Council. To implement the present study, which is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive in terms of method and is considered as a case study, the qualitative approach and research strategy of "Grounded Theory" has been used; In addition, tools such as researcher-made forms, questionnaires, interviews and checklists were used to collect data. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire and interview questions have been confirmed by experts. The data required for conducting the present qualitative and descriptive research were collected from four sources (including study of legal documents; interview with informants; study of similar organizations and work study). The analysis of data was done with manual coding technique and based on these analyzes, while drawing a process map, a model of a suitable organizational chart was designed for the administrative organization of the Islamic Council of the city, which includes 68 organizational positions and most of it is in the form of a matrix structure and its other components are executable in functional structure. The findings of this study show that Islamic city council needs a kind of matrix structure in its administrative organization for achieving its goals and performing the missions.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of spiritual intelligence on stagnation in the career advancement of human capital with the moderating role of organizational climate in Payame Noor University of East Azerbaijan Province. In this study, the King (2008) model, Bardwick (1986) occupational stagnation model (1986), and Halpin and Craft organizational climate questionnaire (1963) were used for spiritual intelligence. The statistical population of this study consists of staff and professors of Payame Noor universities in East Azerbaijan province, which was obtained from 240 people as a statistical sample to complete a questionnaire to analyze the data and test the hypothesis. Data were analyzed using one-sample and independent t-test, analysis of variance, structural equation modeling and hierarchical multiple regression in SPSS and SMART-PLS software. The results of data analysis showed that the organizational climate moderates the relationship between spiritual intelligence and stagnation in the path of career advancement and its coefficient is negative. As a result, the interaction between organizational climate and spiritual intelligence leads to a reduction of stagnation in the path of career advancement.

Due to the latest advances in technology, governments pursued a way to make the government process more efficient by using technology and called it Electronic Government. Necessities such as transparency, agility, ease of access to services, and time and cost savings are what make governments interested in this issue and strive to implement e-government hardware and software. This research aims to design a model to measure the Electronic Government maturity in Lorestan Province. The designed model has 4 levels including web presence, government-citizen interaction, transaction, and integration. According to the research, it was found that the level of e-government maturity in Lorestan province has exceeded the first level whose main issue is the web presence, but at the second level, which is the interaction between government and citizens, there is not enough development in the field of e-government. Also, it was found that the organization is transitioning from level 2 to 3. In the present study, inferential statistical methods, including Pearson correlation test, linear regression, descriptive statistical indicators such as mean and standard deviation, and statistical methods such as Cronbach's alpha and exploratory analysis were used through SPSS22 software. Lisrel software has also been used to determine the fitness of the conceptual model of the research.

Dissemination and free access to information of government organizations with constant care and removal of obstacles related to it guarantees the health of society and the organization. Therefore, the phenomenon of self-censorship in the public relations of government organizations should be considered as one of the major obstacles in this direction. Recognizing and analyzing the causes and contexts of this phenomenon can be a necessary and important step in removing these obstacles. This study was conducted with the aim of in-depth study of the experiences of public relations managers of government organizations in Yazd. It wants to discover and identify their causes and motives in self-censorship. This research has been done in the framework of qualitative studies and in a phenomenological way. The reliability of the research data has been verified based on four criteria of validity; Portability; Verifiability; And reliability. The research findings were classified into 15 sub-topics and 4 main topics. The data show that four factors are influential at the individual, organizational, and extra-organizational levels, including insecurity and need, command-orientation, adherence to the prevailing discourse, and expediency. Considering the great impact of the mentioned factors on the views of public relations managers of government organizations in self-censorship, it can be concluded that facilitating the flow of information as one of the necessities of community development requires serious attention of officials and policy makers to the position and role of public relations.

Merit phobia is considered one of the organizational diseases in governmental organizations, which has hindered the favorable appointment process. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to design a managers' merit-phobia model in public organizations in Lorestan province. The present study was qualitative using the grounded theory method. Participants in the study were managers of public organizations in Lorestan province. Data were collected by using semi-structured interviews with 20 managers who were selected through the purposive sampling method. In the process of data collection and analysis, the grounded theory proposed by Strauss and Corbin was adopted. Six main categories and 45 concepts were extracted from the interviews. The findings revealed that conditions such as the weakness of the succession system, fear of losing position, traditional management systems, narrow-mindedness, partisanship, and lack of a decent career path cause the phenomenon of managers' merit-phobia. Factors such as unhealthy competition, politicization, greed, a relationship-oriented culture, and nepotism provide a background for managers' merit phobia. According to the findings, salaries and benefits, selfishness, dependence on power, and utilitarianism mediate this phenomenon, which leads to consequences such as dwarfism, reduced investment of knowledge and skills for the future, reduced efficiency and effectiveness, job boredom, degradation of the manager's social reputation, increased the employee voluntary leave, reduced organizational creativity, and lack of organizational progress. Finally, the study model was approved by experts.

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.

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.

Everything that involves the participation of citizens is formed in a context that is surrounded by common categories, and regardless of them, the participation of citizens is difficult to happen. The purpose of this study is to design a comprehensive model of citizen participation in Tehran. The research method is qualitative and the current situation is modeled based on the Glaserian approach from the strategy of grounded theory. Along this line, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 19 citizens, city managers, and experts in the field of citizen participation who were selected in the form of snowballs. The Glaser side is introduced and modeled. "Lack of citizen-centered approach in the municipality" was introduced as a central phenomenon and 12 categories were introduced as sub-categories. The result is that to increase citizen participation, Tehran Municipality must reform the attitude of its human resources, especially managers and policymakers, and show this change in attitude in practice and the municipality to become a participation-oriented organization, and help to change this attitude citizens to prepare the ground for their presence in the field of urban participation and strengthen the central participation of the municipality and urban management, with the suggestions presented at the end of the article, to fill the gaps.
