This paper aims to make metaphor for personnel behavior of Iranian public organizations by qualitative method. In this order, two studies were constructed. In the first study, we surveyed people experiences from organizational life and behavior according phenomenology strategy. 43 people from middle managers of public organization were selected by snowball sampling method and Semi-structured interviews were performed to reach theoretical saturation. Texts of the interviews performed were categorized and encoded in units of thought and they were finally classified in theme classes according to making descriptive metaphor. In the second study, in order to explore nature of experiential behavioral metaphor and its positive and negative main impact and particularly result validity of first study, we used Delphi technique from 7 experts included faculty members of university. The research findings explain the behavioral metaphor in the form of five behaviors: cognitive behavioral, political behavior, structural behavior, social behavior and adaptive behavior.

Although the term Entrepreneurship has been shaped and nurtured first time in the business area in the literarature, but today we can see it’s entering to the area of public services. One of the promotion of this attitude, is the creating of reinventing government theory. In the present study, we decided to test the effect of injecting the mentioned theory in the public sector of Iran. For doing this, a fundamental research approach and Delphi techniqe, as well as confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling to assess construct validity was used. Delphi panels formed of 15 executives from administrative division population and academic faculty, consists of 15 members. For designing the primary questionnaire design, dimensions and variables was extracted from the theory. after 3 rounds of the Delphi, by eliminating the 5 variables of the 10 variables and adding 3 local variables, the 8 variables and 67 indicators of the final model were defined Variables include: community-opened, market orientated, mission-oriented, customer-driven, decentralized, promoting professional ethics, development the social justice and Jihadian management.

Value engineering is one of the tools to create and enhance value for goods and services that used in different fields such as industry, agriculture, education, transportation and also in the transportation and Infrastructure projects. The aim of the research is to Identify and prioritize Value Engineering index with Fuzzy Delphi Technique in Semnan Department of Transportation. This research is applied and its research method is descriptive. Because of using Fuzzy AHP for ranking alternatives, our research is a single cross-survey. In this regard, after a comprehensive literature study, 23 indicators identified and standardized questionnaire among 10 experts in the field were distributed and collected. Delphi fuzzy Utilizes and win 13 indexes higher than 0.7 were screened. The investigators then to prioritize the factors identified in an integrative approach Permutation and genetic algorithms because the problem is NP-Hard were used. Based on these findings, the index of compatibility with existing machines, information and experience in working in road construction projects are the most important variables. According to research results, index Embassy completion rate was the lowest priority.
