With a mixed exploratory approach (qualitative- quantitative), the present study aims to design a model for strategic human resource management with high-performance work systems. For this purpose, 34 main themes of the subject literature were extracted and consensus was established through the implementation of the Delphi method, with the participation of academic elites and knowledge-based knowledge companies. Finally, by deleting 4 dimensions of the 3 new dimensions by panel members, 33 Then, it was identified as the final concepts which includes concepts high-performance work systems, organization performance, achievements of human resource and competition strategies. The results showed that high-performance work systems have a positively direct impact on the knowledge-based companies. Also the package of high-performance work systems has a positively direct effect on the achievements of human resource through which the organization performance is indirectly affected. However, the moderating role of the competition strategies of differentiation and focus was not affirmed.

The purpose of this study is to provide a behavioral entropy pattern in the organization. This research has been carried out in the framework of qualitative approach and using the research methodology of the Foundation. Data collection tools were semi-structured interviews and interviews were conducted using a targeted sampling method with 23 senior and middle managers of Isfahan municipality and academic experts familiar with organizational issues and organizational behaviors. Data analysis was performed in three stages: open coding, axial coding and selective coding. Based on this, a qualitative research model was designed. In this model, the most important causative factors were individual, organizational and environmental factors. The main phenomenon in entropy was the behavior of organizational injustice. The underlying factors included lack of organizational transparency, inappropriate socialization, lack of comparative leadership and organizational culture. The results showed that the weakness of communication systems, the silence of managers against the hackers and the hypocritical behaviors of managers and employees are the most important factors in intervention. Based on the results of the justification, the escape rule and the non-emotional-mental conflicts are the strategies of individuals in behavioral entropy. Finally, the entropy consequences of behavior were categorized in the form of five individual, organizational, group, family, and environmental consequences.

This research aims at finding an answer to this question: what factors can lead to a reduction in the employees' tendency to commit service sabotage? To this purpose and regarding the extensive studies done in this field, the qualitative meta-synthesis method was used. The reason for choosing meta-synthesis approach is that it can help discover the new and fundamental themes and metaphors by providing the researchers with a systematic frame and by combining different qualitative researches and consequently making it possible to have a comprehensive and broad perspective toward issues. The sample intended for meta-synthesis in this research is composed of selected qualitative studies based on their relevance to the research question. In this study, a sample of 151 related studies was extracted from both internal and external databases during the years 2002 to 2018. After screening the researches with respect to their title, abstract, content and quality, 71 internal and external studies were left, results of which were combined with each other. The implementation of this process resulted in the extraction of 47 factors effective on reducing the service sabotage, which were categorized in eight groups including individual, interpersonal, organizational, family, ethical, beliefs related, economic and environmental factors. furthermore, the present study provides managers with a both categorized and classified list of effective factors on reducing the service sabotage done by the employees and will enable them to manage these behaviors better and yet reduce the costs of such behaviors for their organizations.

The question of why some of the staff leave the organization and others remain has been challenging the minds of writers and managers for years. despite of more than 60 years have passed since the researches of staff turnover , yet these models could not explain the turnover factors exactly. To cover the shortcomings of traditional turnover models, the idea of job embeddedness was introduced in 2001, which, in spite of, over 16 years since presentation of this concept, has been neglected in indoor literature. The present study seeks to explain the job embeddedness model with the grounded theory approach at the National Iranian South Oil Company. Data collection tools were semi-structured interviews. In order to collect information, a targeted sampling method was used for interviewing 27 managers and staff that were familiar with HRM.data. analysis was conducted in three stages of open , axial and selective coding , using “Atlas Ti “ software .Thus , the qualitative model of research was extracted. The result of this analysis indicates extraction of more than 280 basic codes of interviews as well as 24 concept and 15 categories presented in paradigmatic model. On the basis of this model , managers should try to pursue their own responsibilities in the community and shall have an influential element of social welfare and social culture through extensive social interaction .otherwise, day after day, there will see an outflow of staff turnover.

This article is to explain an widespread and emerging problem in management styles as showcase management.To design a conceptual framework, the grounded theory was used. Data collection instruments consisted of "exploratory interviews" and "observation". 17 of the university professors 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 26 of managers 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 15 elites and theoreticians. The designated framework for Showcase Management Theory is supported literature. The results shows 4 factors affects showcase management and 7 strategy for confront with this management style. Finally, to test the proposed framework and the applicability of the theory, certain hypotheses are proposed to be tested by other researchers.
