Collaborative inter-organizational relationship is a phenomenon that has attracted the attention of many industries in recent decades. In this research، collaborative inter-organizational relationship model is discussed to improve supply chain performance based on the theories of social exchange and transaction cost. The research sample consists of 150 experts and professional staff working in production companies in supply chain of machine-woven carpets in Iran. Research variables are selected based on previous literature and finalized using combined research methods and exploratory factor analysis. Data is analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis، path analysis model، and structural equation modeling. All hypotheses were supported except two. This research confirms the applicability of collaborative inter-organizational relationship model to supply chain in Iran. Results also suggest that using collaborative inter-organizational relationship model improves supply chain performance in Iranian machine-woven carpet industry.

The purpose of this study was to identify how internal characteristics of an Iranian organization impact designing and implementation of an effective succession planning. Characteristics of the organization were low formality، rapid growth، working with knowledge workers، and being managed by the owners of the company. Using the “theme analysis” method on data collected from semi-structured interviews، and based on the characteristics of this organization، proper methods and other considerations for the implementation of each step of succession planning were analyzed. Some primary theoretical propositions have been developed for future research to identify the proper methods of implementing succession planning steps in similar conditions.

increased in the recent decades. This trend justifies the need for focusing on team dynamics and also on the key factors affecting team effectiveness. This study tends to introduce a model including perceived organizational support (POS)، organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and social capital، which improve team effectiveness. A conceptual model was constructed and the relationships between the variables were tested. Structural equation modeling (SEM)، “SPSS” and “LISREL” software have been used to analyze the data collected through questionnaire. Results confirm the appropriateness of the suggested structural and measurement models and except the relationship between POS and social capital، all the assumed relationships in the structural model are statistically significant. The proposed model can be used as a guideline for executives who plan to improve team effectiveness in their organizations.
