Abstract Research in the social sciences, given the complex nature of the issues, requires the use of methods that can identify the various dimensions of phenomenons by using systematic approach and provide a basis for decision making by providing consistent and reliable axes. In recent years, the GABEK method has been able to provide researchers with a powerful tool by providing a framework for structuring data. Accordingly, in this study, while introducing the mentioned method, by presenting a sample in the country, its dimensions are examined. Accordingly, a study was designed to provide a framework for inter-organizational cooperation. The required information was obtained from semi-structured interviews with 17 public and private sector experts. The results of the study showed that GABEK method is an applied tool for analyzing and presenting qualitative data. The final results of the study model were also presented in the form of a Gestalt tree, in which the elements are divided into four categories: Requirements for the front-end phases, cooperation Formation, Inter-organizational cooperation Results and cooperation Barrier.

The challenges facing educational institutions, especially nonprofit higher education institutions, are to earn money to meet their goals. Student withdrawal is in the opposite direction. By identifying students as opt-outs, preventive and supportive policies can be anticipated to prevent a reduction in the image and hopes to attract revenues. This research is aimed at identifying students at risk by using the Data Mining Data of the Student attention Center of Payame Noor University of Tehran during the years 91-94. Data were extracted from the education system. Of the 20 potentially effective attributes, a 92% accuracy model was identified. In the model, six independent characteristics (age, group, grade, probation, and gender) and an associated attribute (term) were identified and subsequently the degree of importance of the attributes involved in the withdrawal and their relationship with each other was determined. Risk of withdrawal (risk of attention) and risk ranking table for different terms were presented. Findings indicate that age is the most important factor. From a Sunni point of view, the bachelor degree is between the ages of 21-18 in the senior age group of 26-22 and the PhDs 31 to 29 in the most risky groups. In terms of academic and postgraduate degrees, they are the most risky period in the formal and continuing education programs of the research course. attention rates for students aged 19 and 20 are about 50% in the third semester.

The purpose of this study is to provide a model of trust building process in the country's relief network considering the importance of establishing trust in the supply chain of humanitarian services as well as theoretical poverty in the field of trust building. To perform this study, three major recent events in Tehran province have been selected as a case study. Due to the lack of qualitative research in the field of trust building, using the grounded Theory, 2015 version of Corbin and Strauss, the model of trust building process in the relief network is designed and edited based on interview with 8 experts and members involved in the relief network. Given the importance of establishing trust between the members present in the relief network and the lack of a comprehensive model in this area, the present study aims to design a trust building model among members of the relief network and to examine the critical role of trust in the successful relief process and its reflection.The research findings are classified in three phases of conditions, actions and outcomes. The weak structures of the society and the community management system are a major obstacle to building trust. And insufficient funding, lack of certainty, unsuccessful performance, lack of coordination and cooperation between responsible groups and lack of preparation are the main sources of distrust. The most important finding of this research is the lack of trust in the humanitarian supply chain due to the reliance on public assistance.

Various studies are conducted on citizens’ perception and attitude toward state, most of them have considered inefficiency of the state. A few studies addressed negative perceptions and attitudes toward public section while not related to state’s inefficiency. Present descriptive – correlational paper aims at studying the relationship between bureauphobia and Perceived national resilience. To this end, by surveying the citizens through a questionnaire, the phenomenon of bureauphobia and Perceived national resilience was identified. Then the relations between both variables were investigated. Research population consists of all 18 – 70 year-old citizens who had gone to public organizations at least one time in past year to receive services. Data was analyzed by drawing table and Chi2 test. The results suggest that distrust to states and employees in public section are not only related to the performance of public services and 31 percent of respondents have bureauphobia.

Through survey and referring to the statistical sample of 265 managers and experts of the Social Security Organization of East Azerbaijan province, the required data were collected using a questionnaire. The conceptual framework was presented and validation by collecting empirical data and structural equation modeling. Investigating the models of measurement and analysis of factor loads showed that the components of spiritual leadership had the most impact on organizational performance. Also, studying structural model of research and path analysis revealed that there is a strong correlation between spiritual leadership variables with organizational identity and spiritual leadership. The simultaneous analysis of factors influencing organizational performance by structural equation method showed that the components of "spiritual leadership" had the greatest impact on organizational performance. The results of the analysis of path coefficients and the values of the coefficient of determination of R2 showed that the "spiritual leadership" variable directly explained 79.3% of the changes related to the variable "organizational performance". Also, "spiritual leadership" indirectly affects the variable "organizational performance" by means of an intermediate variable "organizational identity" of 34 percent.

The present paper seeks to use the grounded theory to assess the economic policies of the Islamic Parliament. Research method is based on the qualitative method of grounded theory. Depth interviews were conducted with 16 representatives in the Islamic Parliament using snowball sampling. After open, selective, and axial coding of collected data, 159 primary concepts, 45 subcategories and 8 main categories were extracted. The final outcome of this study is the design of a 5-dimensional model whose dimensions are categorized into four bases of the ground, input, process components, and products. The findings of this study indicate the domination of the political climate of Iran over the policy climate, the rule of politics over economy, followed by the confrontation of legislative, administrative and executive sectors with institutional, structural and cultural challenges in the policy-making process. Therefore, it is suggested that legislators emphasize national interests by adopting a holistic approach and avoid the involvement of political approaches with the policy-making process. Also, it is necessary to form special committees in the Islamic Parliament in order to align policies with high-level documents.
