Studies show that each person makes an average of 35,000 decisions per day. Although this number is highly exaggerated, it cannot be denied that we make countless decisions on a daily basis. Decision fatigue refers to the fact that making repeated decisions impairs a person's ability to make fully informed and rational subsequent decisions. Therefore, the state of ego depletion, especially as a result of repeated decisions, is called decision fatigue.  The lived experience of researchers along with senior managers in different organizations is the origin of this study. The results of this study show that from the set of managers' behavioral strategies, the person acts as a completely rational decision maker. But the evidence shows otherwise. This is true not only for ordinary people, but also for some highly trained professionals. The current study is a qualitative research that was conducted using the narrative research method. The qualitative data in this study is in the form of narratives derived from in-depth interviews with 11 senior managers in the public sector, which were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that the causes of decision fatigue are personality traits, interpersonal issues, work difficulty threshold, and organizational factors.

Most strategic programs assume the future using various methods, and develop a static program based on trend extrapolation from a single future that provides acceptable results in a small set of possible futures. If the future turns out to be different from the assumed ones, the program may fail. In addition to the high uncertainty in predicting the future, planning conditions also change over time. To address this issue, this study seeks to design a model for developing adaptable strategies that can both provide satisfactory performance in multiple diverse futures (Robustness) and adapt to new conditions. The foundations of this research are interpretive, the approach is qualitative, and it is a developmental-applied study. In this study, the literature on developing strategies under uncertainty is examined using the meta-analysis method. Accordingly, after reviewing the literature, 39 concepts (themes) and 10 elements were extracted. Finally, using the identified elements and concepts and the literature of the study, the final model for developing robust adaptable strategies under uncertainty was designed.

Today, in the highly competitive world of platform businesses, one of the important concerns of platform owners is the involvement or participation and group cooperation of platform actors. Therefore, according to the importance of the topic of the present research, the model of involvement of supply side actors in the platform ecosystem has been designed. The present research is applied in terms of the objective and in terms of the theme or theme analysis strategy. Sampling in this research is available and analysis and data collection is done through qualitative method and interviews. In the present study, 15 actors from the supply side of the taxi service platform, i.e. the drivers who work as service providers, and the desire to use an internet taxi platform was more among them than other internet taxis, were interviewed in depth. After the implementation of the interviews and their re-examination, coding was done, and a total of 89 raw codes were extracted from the interviews, and finally, due to the similarities in terms of meaning and concept, the codes were converted into 13 basic themes and 6 organizing themes. Organized themes include platform leadership, platform governance and openness, propensity for server multihoming, platform facilitation for servers, platform technology infrastructure, and cultural factors.

Intimacy in the organization, as a relationship or relationship through sharing work demands with others, can solve or prevent many problems. The purpose of this research was to identify the factors that promote organizational intimacy in telework conditions. The direction of the current research is developmental and its methodology is qualitative. The research approach in this study was content analysis and the unit of analysis was word and theme. Using this approach in content analysis, which was focused on words, analysis, description, description and interpretation of supporting theories and empirical texts, data were collected. Also, in this section, the research community was composed of university experts, who used the chain sampling method in the 15th interview to achieve theoretical saturation. Based on the combination of the analysis model of Sandelowski and Baros (2007) and Brown and Clark (2006), the main categories and factors of the research were identified. To evaluate the adequacy of content analysis, theoretical validity was used with the approach of receiving experts' opinions and Cohen's kappa coefficient. By reviewing and confirming the participating members in the validation process and estimating the coefficient of 0.91, the research findings had the necessary reliability and trustworthiness. According to the research findings and network model, three inclusive categories and forty one basic factors are the factors of promoting organizational intimacy. The results showed that behavioral, structural and environmental capabilities in the organization are effective in promoting organizational intimacy in remote working conditions.

The effective use of disclosure capabilities to deal with corruption in the organization depends on the knowing and managing of its tactics. In this regard, the present study was conducted with the aim of exploring the views of employees regarding the use of whistle blowing tactics using repertory grid method in Raver Governorate. For this purpose, 6 research elements from the research literature and 15 dichotomous constructs through interviews with 15 members of the studied organization, using triad method and thematic analysis, were elicitated. After creating the collective grid, Slater Analysis, hierarchcal cluser analysis, profile analysis, Friedman test, PCA, and MGCA were performed on gathered data. Based on the findings, the constructs were categorized in the form of two clusters: general flip and rational anti-corruption. Also, it was found that about 90% of the variance of the elements in the collective grid is explained by the two components: legal information grounds and public dissemination grounds. According to the findings, the legal information grounds rely more on official power and authority for anti-corruption than other tactics, and more than them, they are considered ethical and help to solve the problem, deal with it quickly, realistically and professionally, and also causing confrontation with corruption in a calm atmosphere and one can hope to achieve results by using them. As in these tactics, the whistle-blower has the support perception more than other tactics, and the prestige of the organization and the reputation of the offender is more likely to be preserved and less likely to cause misunderstandings by others.

This study examines the factors affecting the model that is presented for the competitiveness of selected knowledge-based companies in the fourth industrial revolution. 23 components were identified and categorized into six factors: causal, contextual, intervening, central phenomenon, strategies and measures, and consequences. Using these components, a questionnaire was designed to determine the current status of selected knowledge-based companies in Iran, and a total of 127 completed questionnaires were collected from 197 knowledge-based manufacturing companies of the first type in the field of electricity and electronics, laser and photonics in the country. was done to examine the current state of the model components. The data was analyzed with SPSS and PLS software. In the analysis carried out, the coefficients of factor loadings of the components are more than 0.4, which shows the appropriateness of this model. Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability is more than 0.7, which indicates the appropriate reliability of the model. Construct validity, convergent validity and divergent validity also had favorable results. The results showed that all the components in the presented model for the competitiveness of selected knowledge-based companies in the fourth industrial revolution played a role, and the current state of all factors except the causal factor, which is in an average state, are in a favorable state.

The present study was conducted with the aim to analysis neuro-cognitive self-development of leaders from the perspective of academic leaders and neuro-cognitive specialists. The research method was qualitative and for this purpose semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. The study population was academic leaders and neuro-cognitive specialists of public universities in Tehran, 15 of whom were selected by snowball sampling method as a sample based on the theoretical saturation rule. Findings led to the identification of seven dimensions and 44 components. The first dimension is neurological self-development competencies and the second dimension is cognitive self-development competencies that academic leaders are expected to develop. The third dimension is the cognitive profile and the fourth dimension is the brain network, which is considered to be the basis of cognitive and neural competencies. The fifth dimension is the new strategies and the sixth dimension is the classical strategies of neuro-cognitive self-development with the help of which leaders can engage in neuro-cognitive self-development. Finally, the seventh dimension includes the neuro-cognitive context that will provide a suitable basis for the neuro-cognitive self-development of academic leaders.
