Managing the public service motivation of public organizations employees is the biggest challenge facing today's public sector managers because the existentail philosophy of public administration is to serve the citizen in the light of the presence of public servants with a high public service motivation. In this regard, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of organizational cynicism on the public service motivation, explaining the role of the perception of organizational politics and organizational goal ambiguity as moderating variables. In this research, by using a simple random sampling method, 926 employees of public sector under the supervision of 18 ministries of the country were selected as sample. A standard questionnaire was used to collect data. Validity and reliability of each of the variables were confirmed. Data analysis was performed by Spearman correlation test and stepwise regression using SPSS software. The results show that organizational cynicism leads to a reduction in the public service motivation, and the employees’ negative perception of the organizational politics moderates the relationship between organizational cynicism and the public service motivation in a negative manner. Additionally, the combination of organizational goal ambiguity with the perception of organizational politics intensifies this relationship.

Decision making is one of the most important activities in all organizations, and in the meantime, it is more important in innovative and knowledge-based firms due to the lack of structure and resources on the one hand and the impact of decisions on the organization on the other. The business environment generally has many uncertainties, and this uncertainty about start-ups and technology-based businesses is much deeper. Deciding in this uncertain environment has limitations that make many technologists unconsciously use intuition in decision making. The purpose of this study was to study the descriptive process of intuitive decision making in technology and knowledge-based companies. Given the nature of the intuition, the method used in this research was qualitative (Grounded Theory) and based on the analysis of interviews. The results suggest that there is sufficient evidence that the decision-makers of knowledge-based companies use intuition in the uncertainty environment, and that information and time are the causative factors causing uncertainty. In addition, it was found that experience and intuitions are inextricably linked, and the mental patterns and curiosity of the variables associated with them. Unstable environment of business also play the role of the underlying factor of intuitive decision making. Increasing the speed of decision making, creativity and reducing feelings of regret from positive outcomes and increasing decision errors are also the negative consequences of the use of intuition.

This research aims to provide a comparative study on the structure and functioning of Payame Noor University with open universities abroad and to know about similarities and differentiate them in order to design the optimal structure in the future. The research method of this study is a comparative study method that has been studied by the Payam Noor University and five open universities in the world (England, Canada, Malaysia, China and Indonesia) based on components and indicators of structure and operation. All universities studied use open and distance education. The Open University of China, due to its high population, has the largest number of students, and equally has the largest number of staff and faculty. In this comparison, the UK University ranked 313 in the world's best position, and then the Payame Noir University of Iran ranked second in the study. : In terms of the structure of Payam Noor University, it has a hybrid structure. But other open universities studied more than two-part structure. Payam Noor University, with a high degree of recognition, has relative concentration and complexity compared with five open universities. All universities have more organizational agility than Payam Noor University, given the number of centers, faculty and staff, staff ratios, and levels of hierarchy. Therefore, it is suggested that the design of a desirable structure be tailored to the needs of the university in line with its mission and objectives and tasks.

The aim of this study is to provide an overview of the different situations and dimensions of public administration in Iran and to help guide future research on filling the gap in previous research in this area. In this case, 279 doctoral theses defended between 2011 and 1396 were reviewed and reviewed at 6 public universities in the country and with online access. The research methodology is qualitative in terms of its purpose and descriptive method. The research methodology of the group consists of 24 leading faculty members in the major universities of the country with associate professors and professors. The results of the reviewed articles were evaluated based on criteria such as the subject of research, method and tool of data collection, data analysis method, in this paper. The results show that most of the researches in the 26% of the studies are of a structural type, 34% of the type of behavior, 12% of the environmental type, 24% of the combination type and 4% of the form of three branches. In the researches, 86% of the titles used a qualitative and qualitative method for collecting data and a 1% questionnaire was used only qualitatively and the remainder was used only for quantitative methods. The result is a deep divide between the results of the doctoral dissertation and the lack of a doctrine and the theory of research.

Scientific researches carried out on knowledge management have been more focused on the process of creating, sharing, and using the knowledge of organizations; however, little attention has been paid to “forgetting”. While in today’s dynamic environment, all organizations need to change, revise, and in most cases, discard the old methods of doing their work. This article attempted to present a comprehensive model of effective factors, mechanisms, and the consequences of organizational forgetting, applying content analysis and conducting semi-structured interviews with the managers of the city hall of “Qom City” and a number of academic elites in organizational learning and knowledge management. The effective factors of intentional organizational forgetting have been divided into three categories of individual, organizational, and environmental. Although these categories have some commonalities with the previous other researches, some factors in individual, environmental, and strategic forgetting have been studied for the first time in this regard. All the measures taken in performing intentional forgetting, and signs of the existence of this phenomena in the organization have been provided in order to facilitate their assessment in the second step and the final consequences of performing intentional forgetting. The consequences have also been categorized according to individuals, organizations, and clients.

One of the most widely used fields of knowledge management is the commercialization of knowledge. This research, with the help of scientometric techniques, identifies the effects of knowledge in the field of knowledge commercialization. This research is a kind of scientometric. Initial data were obtained from the Web of Science (WoS) database to investigate the historical roots of published works in the field of commercialization of knowledge. Then, the main roots of this filed, the amount of received citations, and influential works were identified using RPYS software. Next, with the help of the yearcr software, the extent of the effects of the works outside of the range of peaks were also introduced. The period under investigation is the publication in the years 1900-2015. By searching published works in the time period of 1900-2015, 1550 records related to commercialization of knowledge were retrieved. The total number of citations up to the time of the present research was 39817, which resulted in the emergence of five peaks in the years 1934, 1962, 1973, 1998, and 2003. The present project has introduced the influential works in the field of commercialization of knowledge. Identifying the influential effects in the field of commercialization of knowledge makes it possible to identify the main origins and subfields of knowledge.
