One of the global phenomena that has existed for a long time with the emergence of early forms of government and is considered an important factor in causing damage to the policies and public interests of organizations is called administrative trader. Therefore, according to the damages caused by the formation of this phenomenon, the present research was conducted with the aim of identifying and analyzing the antecedents and consequences of administrative trader in government organizations using the FCM method. In terms of its purpose, this research is classified as a descriptive survey research. Also, in terms of the type of data collected, it has a mixed nature, and for this reason, in terms of research philosophy, it has a comparative and inductive approach. The statistical population of the research consists of experts including university professors and organizational managers and employees, 20 of them were selected as sample members using the purposeful sampling method and based on the principle of theoretical adequacy. The data collection tool in the qualitative part of the interview and in the quantitative part is a questionnaire, which was examined by the same sample as the previous one in the interview part. The validity and reliability of the tools have been confirmed by using content validity and intra-coder-inter-coder reliability for the interview and content validity and re-test reliability for the questionnaire. In this research, content analysis and coding method was used in qualitative part and fuzzy cognitive map method in quantitative part for data analysis. The research results include identifying and analyzing the antecedents and consequences of administrative trader in government organizations. According to the findings of the research, among the antecedents of administrative trader, the lack of organizational transparency and the inefficiency of supervisory mechanisms are the most important antecedents, and among the identified consequences, the phenomenon of organizational cronyism has been identified as the most important consequence of administrative trader. Considering that in Iran, government organizations constitute a major part of the existing organizations in the society, therefore, identifying and analyzing the antecedents andconsequences of administrative speculation in government organizations can help improve efficiency, transparency and trust in organizations and ultimately lead to the improvement of services provided by the government to citizens.

In recent years, city branding has emerged as a strategic approach in urban management, serving as an effective tool to enhance the mental image of cities, attract tourism and investment, and improve the quality of urban life. This study aims to formulate urban management strategies for branding Maragheh—an Iranian city with a unique dual identity: an ecological "garden city" and a historical-scientific center known as the "Capital of Astronomy in Iran." Adopting a qualitative methodology, the research is based on semi-structured interviews with local experts and content analysis using the SWOT framework. Findings reveal that despite Maragheh’s rich natural, agricultural, and scientific assets, challenges such as the absence of a clear brand identity, weak tourism infrastructure, and institutional fragmentation hinder its branding potential. Consequently, four strategic categories (SO, WO, ST, WT) were developed, culminating in the proposal of a hybrid brand: “Maragheh, Garden City of Stars.” The study also suggests practical measures such as restoring the historical observatory, organizing brand-oriented festivals, designing symbolic urban spaces, and fostering citizen participation to internalize the brand. This conceptual model, grounded in local identity and residents’ lived experiences, offers a replicable framework for other historical and scientific cities in Iran seeking sustainable and participatory urban branding.

In today's complex and rapidly changing world, educational organizations, as fundamental institutions for the development and progress of societies, need to utilize innovative management approaches to increase interaction, empathy, and productivity. One of the concepts that can play a key role in achieving these goals is organizational generosity. Therefore, the purpose of the research is to design a model of organizational generosity in education-oriented organizations. The present study was conducted with a qualitative approach and, in terms of purpose, is an applied research and using the content analysis method. The experts included faculty members as well as senior managers of educational organizations, and the interviewees included 12 people who were selected using snowball sampling until reaching theoretical saturation. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews. To ensure validity and reliability, the findings were confirmed by the interviewees. Max QDA software was used to analyze the information. The findings from the interview analysis included 1 overarching theme, 5 organized themes, and 12 basic themes, and 55 initial codes were identified for the design of the model. The results also showed that the organizational generosity model is a powerful tool for creating learning and knowledge-based organizations. By implementing this model, education-oriented organizations can help improve the quality of educational services, increase student and parent satisfaction, and ultimately, improve the quality of education in the country.

In the mushroom management style, employees are kept in the dark and are only given knowledge and information within the framework of their tasks.. In fact, managers always hoard knowledge and information to protect their own interests and lead employees to isolation. The present study was conducted with the aim of designing a mushroom management style model in government organizations.This research is a mixed research (qualitative-quantitative) in the deductive-inductive paradigm and has an applied objective and a descriptive-survey nature. The statistical population in the qualitative and quantitative parts of the research consists of managers of government organizations and university professors, who were selected as samples using the purposive sampling method and based on the principle of theoretical adequacy. The data collection tool in the qualitative part is a semi-structured interview, the validity and reliability of which were confirmed using content validity and intra-coder and inter-coder reliability, respectively. On the other hand, in the quantitative part of the research, a researcher-made questionnaire (based on data from the qualitative part) was used to collect data, the validity of which was accepted using content validity and test-retest reliability. By analyzing the data using content analysis and software, the indicators of the mushroom management style in government organizations were identified, including maintaining power and status, poor communication system, lack of employee awareness, hoarding of knowledge, feeling of incompetence, increasing employee dependency, poor performance, conflicting behaviors, trickle-down sharing of knowledge, rumor-spreading, reduced motivation, lack of participation, organizational pessimism, authoritarianism, leaving the service, and reduced organizational credibility. Finally, a model of the mushroom management style in government organizations was designed using a structural-interpretive approach. The results show that reduced organizational credibility, organizational pessimism, leaving the service, and poor performance are the achievements of mushroom management in government organizations.

Successful implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, along with aligning business operations and integrating data, offers numerous benefits. However, it is often prone to failure as it requires significant resources, time, and extensive changes to organizational processes. This study aims to identify and prioritize the barriers to implementing ERP systems in the Telecommunications Company of Isfahan Province. The research employs a mixed-methods (qualitative-quantitative), exploratory, and applied approach. The statistical population includes IT staff in the Telecommunications Company of Isfahan Province, among whom 15 experts were selected using purposive and snowball sampling methods. Data collection tools consisted of two researcher-designed questionnaires. In the first phase, using the fuzzy Delphi method, 15 key factors were identified out of 55 initial factors derived from a scoping review through three rounds of surveys. In the second phase, interrelations and prioritization of the factors were examined using Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) and MICMAC analysis. Findings indicated that three barriers—management changes during ERP system implementation, lack of commitment and adequate support from senior management, and the organization's inability to allocate appropriate financial resources—are the most influential obstacles in ERP system implementation. This research assists organizations and ERP system providers in understanding the challenges of ERP system implementation and achieving the highest level of system implementation performance.

The present study aimed to categorize the mental patterns of managers regarding the antecedents of organizational friction within the Kermanshah Gas Company. A mixed-methods approach, grounded in an interpretive-positivist philosophical framework, was employed for this applied-developmental study. Qualitative data was collected through interviews to explore the participants' perspectives, while a quantitative approach using Q factor analysis was used to extract these perspectives. The study population consisted of managers from the gas company, with a purposive sample of 19 participants. To ensure validity, content validity (coherence between adjacent statements) and face validity (statements covering various aspects of the topic to define the mental model) were assessed. Test-retest reliability was determined using 5 participants. To develop the Q-set, relevant literature was extensively reviewed, identifying 38 factors influencing organizational friction. After eliminating redundancies and addressing conceptual overlaps, the final Q-set included 25 factors, which were then prioritized by the participants. The results of Q factor analysis revealed five distinct cognitive patterns regarding the antecedents of organizational friction among the managers. The dominant pattern, according to the findings, was the first pattern, which identified interactions between systems and processes at the organizational level as the primary source of friction within the target population. Other cognitive patterns ranked lower in priority.
