Read More The purpose of developing grounded theory is to build a theory based on data. The three previous approaches of grounded theory have obvious operational weaknesses. In order to cover the operational weaknesses of previous approaches and quantify their gaps, a fourth approach to grounded theory was presented under the title of quantum approach. The aim of this research is to show that the quantum approach has the necessary efficiency in practice and has covered the weaknesses of previous approaches. In the previous approaches, there were operational weaknesses in the place of research literature in theorizing, confusion in the discovery of open codes, inattention to the studied society and the study platform, which seemed efficient only from a theoretical aspect, but in practice confused the researcher. Method: To overcome this weakness, a quantum approach to ground theory was presented, which is based on four stages of coding and twelve basic steps, which is based on the theory of quantum entanglement, which indicates that electrons around the nucleus of the atom apart from affecting The nucleus of the atom has opposite behavior to each other. Findings: Borrowing from this theory, it was concluded that the central category is the result of the effects of factors that have opposing behavior with each other, that is, two categories of constructive factors and inhibitory factors. Finally, a model based on the quantum shape of the atom was presented for this approach. Also, the case study findings showed that 44 primary big data, 98 micro data, 38 secondary big data and 5 super data were identified from the positive side. Also, on the negative side, 13 primary big data, 32 small data, 11 secondary big data and 2 super data were identified. Results: The results showed that managerial skill, managerial attitude, and managerial intelligence were among the constituent factors, managerial thinking and managerial awareness were among the facilitating factors, personalization was among the inhibiting factors, and expediency was among the moderating factors. Also, strategies, obstacles, consequences of formation and consequences of non-formation were identified

Read More One of the acute forms of organizational and interpersonal misconduct in communication is the phenomenon of gaslighting, which refers to the emotional abuse of an individual or a type of psychological harassment inflicted by others. This is achieved through the imposition of psychological pressures on the targeted individual, resulting in a disruption of their organizational duties. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to analyze employees' perceptions and lived experiences of gaslighting in organizational relationships within government organizations in Kermanshah city. To this end, a qualitative research method employing a phenomenological approach was utilized to understand and identify the phenomenon of gaslighting in organizational contexts. The participants in the study consisted of employees from various government organizations in Kermanshah, with a total of 20 interviews conducted using purposive sampling until data saturation was achieved. The inter-rater agreement coefficient was utilized to assess reliability, while validity of the identified codes was ensured through peer review and participant feedback. The results of the content analysis coding revealed that the phenomenon of gaslighting encompasses 18 main categories, which can be categorized into four distinct areas. The first area pertains to management and leadership, which includes categories such as: the manager's inability to accept mistakes, lack of personal accountability, limitations in decision-making, non-acceptance of others' opinions, and dismissal of emotions. The second area relates to communication and social interactions, which includes categories such as: controlling social relationships, disseminating misinformation, instilling uncertainty and doubt in the individual, concealment, and exploiting feelings of sadness and despair. The third area encompasses managerial and professional behaviors, which includes categories such as: blame-oriented behaviors, Machiavellian conduct, bullying, persistent criticism, projecting behaviors, and utilizing past emotions. The fourth area is psychological, which encompasses categories such as controlling employees' personal lives and blame-related behaviors.

Read More In today's complex and dynamic organizational world, employee behavior is recognized as one of the key factors for organizational success. This study aimed to analyze the mechanisms for improving performance in Iranian governmental organizations and to examine the impact of organizational nudges on employee behavior. The research employed a qualitative approach using thematic analysis. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 50 participants, direct observation, and document analysis. Data analysis was conducted using thematic analysis with the assistance of MAXQDA software. The findings revealed that organizational nudges influence employee behavior through five main mechanisms: environmental, social, psychological, cultural, and technological. Environmental mechanisms reduce employee stress and increase productivity by altering workplace design and simplifying processes. Social mechanisms utilize group norms and social approval to encourage desirable behaviors among employees. Psychological mechanisms improve decision-making by leveraging cognitive biases and framing effects. Cultural mechanisms operate based on organizational values and beliefs, while technological mechanisms use digital tools to deliver nudges. The results indicated that cultural and structural characteristics of organizations significantly influence the effectiveness of nudges. For example, nudges aligned with traditional and cultural values are more likely to be accepted by employees, whereas those in conflict with these values may face resistance. Finally, it is recommended that organizations design nudges that align with their cultural context and utilize modern technologies to enhance effectiveness. Involving employees in the design and implementation of nudges, along with continuous evaluation of their effectiveness, can also contribute to improving organizational performance. This study provides practical recommendations for managers in governmental organizations to effectively guide employee behavior toward organizational goals using well-designed nudges.

Read More In this research, the goal of a development-oriented organization is an organization that uses all the capacities available in the organization to reach an optimal level of service provision. Municipalities are among the semi-private organizations that the quality of services provided in them is of great concern to the public and therefore can have a great impact on citizens' satisfaction and public trust. As a result, this research was conducted with the aim of designing a development-oriented organization model in the municipalities of Kurdistan province. This research was done with the method of foundational data theory. Based on limited theoretical literature and mainly relying on interviews with 20 university faculty members who are familiar with the organizational structure of municipalities, as well as mayors and deputy mayors, it was conducted in a targeted way. Data obtained from theoretical studies and interviews were conducted in the form of open coding, selective coding and axial coding. The results obtained from the codings include development-oriented management, development-oriented employees, development-oriented policy, development-oriented structure, and development-oriented culture, which constitute the factors affecting the development-oriented organization in the municipalities of Kurdistan province. In the general summary, these results showed that the main reasons that will cause municipalities to become development-oriented include development-oriented management and development-oriented structure. Also, factors related to the main causes of development-oriented municipalities include development-oriented policy, development-oriented requirements of municipalities, including development-oriented employees, as well as background factors of the development-oriented municipalities, including development culture. Finally, the most important consequences of the central development of municipalities were identified, which include increasing public trust, increasing responsiveness and developing human resources of municipalities.
