Considering the multiple roles of women in society, establishing a work-life balance has become one of the important challenges in their lives. The present study aimed to identify and design a phenomenal model of women's work-life balance with an emphasis on family resilience in government organizations. This applied research was conducted with a qualitative approach and descriptive phenomenological method. The research population consisted of women working in government organizations who were selected through purposive judgment sampling. The data collection tool was a semi-structured interview, which reached data saturation with 11 interviews. The Claise phenomenological method was used to analyze the data. The research findings indicated that women's lived experience was identified in 201 basic concepts, 18 categories, and 4 main themes. The 4 main themes include: strengthening family relationships, supportive organizational climate, job enrichment and redefinition, and adaptation to multiple roles as 4 dimensions of a phenomenal model of work-life balance with an emphasis on family resilience in government organizations. As a result, to establish work-life balance for women with an emphasis on family resilience, it is necessary to focus on four dimensions: family, organizational, career, and individual.

In recent years, the development of digital tools and the expansion of big data resources have provided new opportunities for service enhancement and increased efficiency within tax administrations. The reforms are prerequisites for digital transformation (DT), which through substantial alterations to procedures and organizational structures, allows tax organizations to respond better to the changing taxpayer’s needs. In this regard, organizational agility is the major factor that contributes to both the speed of digital transformation and its successful implementation. On the other hand, by giving a coordinated management framework, information technology governance (ITG) supports the enhancement of DT strategies. This study aims to examine the effect of ITG on the DT maturity of the Iranian Tax Administration, through the mediating role of organizational agility. The research uses a way of description through the relationship and collection of data, which was done by questionnaires from the employees and managers of the Iranian Tax Administration. The reliability of the questionnaires was tested using Cronbach's alpha coefficient while their validity was verified through confirmatory factor analysis. Statistical data analysis was carried out using structural equation modeling and LISREL software. As per the result of this study, ITG positively affects DT maturity, which is facilitated through increased organizational agility. Therefore, tax administrations with high ITG and organization agility perform better in their digital transformation projects. Accordingly, these findings might be useful for developing digital transformation plans within tax organizations)

Considering the multitude of actors in the public sector and the wide scope of government interventions, the coordination of actors is an important challenge to achieve the goals. However, this concept still has theoretical and conceptual ambiguities, which in turn have challenged its realization. To address the coordination challenge, three important questions should be clarified: What is the coordination of public sector activists? Why there is a need for coordination between public sector activists? And how can it be achieved? In previous studies, different answers have been given to these questions. However, there is a lack of a comprehensive approach to coordination, which combines the findings of various studies. In this research, an attempt has been made to provide a comprehensive framework for thinking about coordination in the public sector using the meta-synthesis method. For this purpose, after several stages of screening, 51 final documents were selected from more than 1000 documents, and by analyzing them in MAXQDA software, what, why, and how the phenomenon of coordination of activists in the public sector was identified in the form of a total of 7 main categories. The answer to "what this phenomenon is" was put in the form of three main categories: «Ratio of Actions Together To Achieve Common Goal», «Coordination Is A Continuum, Not A Dichtonomy» and «Dimensions Of Coordination». The answer to why this phenomenon is needed was put in the form of three main categories: «Prior Necessities», «Posterior Necessities» and «Coordination Costs». Finally, the answer to how to achieve it was put in the main category of «Creating A Clear, Common, And Valid Basis For Action».

Organizational inertia is a significant disruptive factor in the functional adaptability of organizations to their environment. This study was conducted with the aim of identifying the antecedents and consequences of organizational inertia in Iran. The study was characterized as a review typology and relied on a systematic review method. The implementation of the systematic review was based on a structured protocol that included three major phases: research antecedents (defining the main question and question pattern), research process (determining eligibility criteria, search strategy, article selection process, and data extraction), and research outcomes (providing an overview of studies and qualitatively synthesizing findings). Ultimately, 30 articles met the final criteria for data description and synthesis. Descriptive results indicated that most studies were published in management journals, based on a quantitative approach, utilized survey methods, and focused on employee groups. Additionally, from a temporal perspective, the studies had been conducted over the past ten years, with their main issue centering on the explanation of organizational inertia. Qualitative findings also revealed that the antecedents of organizational inertia could be categorized into seven themes (structural, managerial, cognitive, communicative, capability-based, benefit-oriented, and behavioral), while the consequences of organizational inertia could be classified into four themes (normative, cognitive, performance-related, and behavioral). Given the indispensable role of organizational inertia in inhibiting the functioning of organizations in an era of change, there is an urgent need for studies adopting a systems approach to address the issue of organizational inertia.

The logic of national planning and development, akin to many countries worldwide, necessitates a consistent focus on the training of managers as a strategic, practical, and highly influential factor in national development. This focus encompasses a wide range of education, empowerment, excellence, and enhancement initiatives, with an emphasis on the community of managers within the country. Undoubtedly, what significantly contributes to the improvement and further empowerment of managers is the quality of their training and the planning of their educational programs. Therefore, the core foundation of this process—managerial training—must be given due attention. Assessing the quality of managerial training in the public sector is a critical issue, as its systemic impact extends to other managerial and executive sectors of the country. Given the significance of this matter, the present study, which is applied in its objective, descriptive and exploratory in its examination of variables, and survey-based in its methodology, investigates the quality of public sector managerial training. Utilizing a broad dataset derived from targeted questionnaires and the opinions of 96 experts and practitioners in the field, the study explores the subject across four domains: functional, processual, structural, and systemic perspectives. The findings, analyzed through SPSS software, reveal that the primary challenges identified within these four domains are as follows:Weak realization of objectives and inadequate application of managerial training systems in practice, Deficient processes for developing and deepening managerial skills, Frequent changes in organizational roles and positions without regard to competency, and Insufficient review and reform of educational system regulations.
