Budget as the heart of policy-making process and budgeting as the most important process of decisionmaking in public institutions has the importance that their reform are considered as the reform of the government and the state affairs; reform that should focus on learning toward better budgeting because budget reflects the government's activities and policies. This is while the accomplished researches and the introduction of multiple budgeting systems over the past years, has a story of the inefficiency of common budgeting systems in most countries; spreading this situation to our country persuaded the researchers to study in this case besides considering related observations to social and historical tissue. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the characteristics of an appropriate public budgeting system in viewpoint of experts and connoisseurs in field of budgeting and studying various perspectives in this area. Research method has been thematic analysis and main tool for data collection was interview. According to analysis of gathered data, five main themes with a set of sub-theme were identified as the headings of "realism and technology-driven", "reform-oriented and learning", "scientism and Knowledge-driven", "goal-oriented" and "value-oriented". It seems that taking into account these themes in government budgeting system and move toward the budget and budgeting reform, can be hoped that this important document guide society to excellence in learning path towards development and progress.

.Designing the evaluation system, monitoring and overall performance management is essential subject for a state. Through which a government strategic plans with a systematic approach at all levels, monitored and feedback necessary to pave the way for the country's 20-year perspective. In this paper we present a comprehensive model in this regard. To develop the model, first consider research questions, in the form of literature, approaches and models of performance management with performance management in three different levels, including the strategic level, the organizational level and the staff were studied. Then, using qualitative content analysis, content extracted from the scientific literature in the form of three levels and ultimately classified and coded the content networks were drawn. Finally, using any of the methods of qualitative, comprehensive model was extracted. According to the analysis conducted thematic and typology, a total of 27 variables were identified that each of the three levels: strategic, organization and personnel respectively 11, 8 and 8 respectively variable.

This article focuses on non-compliance to the law and creating commotion by some clients of governmental organizations in order to achieve their personal goals. The purpose of this article is to explain this widespread and emerging problem in the form of a theory known as Commotion-Goal Theory. To design a conceptual framework, the grounded theory was used. Data collection instruments consisted of "exploratory interviews" and "observation". 14 of the managers had at least five years of work experience were selected for interview. For choice of them the purposive sampling and snowball method was used. Also 9 of anarchic clients of some organization were observed and semi-structured interviews were conducted with them. The adequacy of the sample was achieved by theoretical saturation. Over two rounds, the creditability of model was discussed by "focus group" of 12 elites and theoreticians. The designated framework for Ccommotion-Goal Theory is supported literature. The results indicate that 5 factors affects commotion-seeking behavior and 7 intervening variable either strengthens or weakens goal achievement via commotion. According to the results, managers can adopt two approaches to control commotion: improving and removing causal factors of commotion and controlling intervening variables. Finally, to test the proposed framework and the applicability of the theory, certain hypotheses are proposed to be tested by other researchers.
