Abstract

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.
