Finally, suggestions for attracting and retaining customers are presented to internet business managers.

From the beginning of the discussion of commercialization of technology in the country's research institutions, regardless of their size and specialized field of activity, the problem that has been constantly faced by the managers of these centers is that despite the many achievements and research results obtained by knowledge-based companies and research institutes; Most of them have not been successful in commercializing and delivering the results of these researches to the final consumer in the market and society and generating a good income. The present research was conducted with the aim of identifying and prioritizing factors affecting the commercialization of products of knowledge-based companies in the field of biotechnology. The statistical population of the research is 19 members of academic staff and managers in the field of commercialization of products of knowledge-based companies in the field of biotechnology and they have a visible work experience. The current research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive in terms of data collection method. To collect data, qualitative methods of interviews with experts and content analysis were used, as well as a questionnaire tool for prioritizing factors using the Danp method. The results of the research showed that 6 government criteria, economic factors, legal factors, senior management, project management and organizational factors were identified as effective factors on technology commercialization. Then, these criteria along with 22 related sub-criteria were weighted using Danp technique. Finally, the results of the research indicate the high importance of the role of organizational factors (flexible organizational structure and innovative organizational culture) on the commercialization of the products of biotechnological knowledge-based companies.

The Internet of Things (IoT) essentially refers to the connectivity of various objects through the internet to facilitate a more efficient and intelligent experience. However, due to the emerging nature of this technology in Iran, instances of its full deployment in service organizations, including hospitals, are rare or infrequent. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify the key success factors for the deployment of IoT and assess the readiness for implementing this technology in Milad Hospital, Tehran.

This research is a descriptive-survey study conducted in two phases. In the first phase, 30 key success factors were identified through a review of previous studies. In the second, survey phase, 93 managers and staff members of Milad Hospital formed the statistical population, and data was collected through a researcher-made questionnaire. The comparison of the current and ideal states of success factors for IoT implementation, and their ranking, were done using the t-test and Friedman test in SPSS software.

Based on this study, factors such as information technology, organizational culture, organizational structure, and human resources were identified as the most crucial for successful IoT deployment in the hospital. Additionally, the results showed that there is a significant gap between the hospital's current state and the desired state for IoT implementation in these identified areas.

Successful implementation of IoT requires enhancement in readiness, both in terms of technological and organizational-cultural infrastructures

The present research was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of spiritual leadership style on employee loyalty with the role of moderating trust in the organization. The statistical population of the research is the employees of the airport and air navigation company, and the sample size was obtained using the Cochran formula equal to 284 people by simple random sampling method.

The current research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlation in terms of data collection method. And three localized questionnaires of spiritual leadership style, employee loyalty and trust in the organization were used as research tools. The reliability of the spiritual leadership questionnaire was estimated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient equal to 0.82, employee loyalty equal to 0.82 and trust in the organization 0.79. Also, structural equations were used to test the hypotheses.

The research results showed that spiritual leadership has an effect on employee loyalty, the effect of spiritual leadership on loyalty is equal to 0.41, as well as the sub-components of spiritual leadership (spiritual vision, hope and faith, organizational commitment, love for one another, membership, meaningfulness and performance feedback) have an effect on loyalty,

The results of the research showed that the effect of trust in the organization on employee loyalty is significant, path analysis based on structural equations confirmed the moderating role of trust in the organization between the two variables of spiritual leadership and employee loyalty.

Blockchain technology has emerged as the fourth industrial revolution in recent years, which can facilitate the management and exchange of patient records by developing a new infrastructure. A review of the literature indicates the lack of studies and the need for further study of the factors affecting the adoption of this technology in the healthcare industry. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to prioritize the factors related to the adoption of blockchain technology in the Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems.

In this descriptive study, 15 factors related to blockchain adoption in EHR systems were identified by reviewing the scientific literature. Then, these factors were validated by 17 experts who were selected by targeted sampling method and divided into five categories: technological, legal, financial, environmental and organizational. Finally, the weight of each criterion was determined by the fuzzy best-worst method and the consistency of experts’ opinions was evaluated.

According to the judgments of experts, the legal criterion with 32 percent was identified as the most important factor in the adoption of blockchain technology in EHR systems. In addition, security and privacy (16.66 percent), compliance with legal requirements (13.10 percent), compliance with changes in laws (12.22 percent), incentives and rewards (7.01 percent) and standardization (6.87 percent) were identified as five most important sub-criteria in the adoption of the technology, respectively.

With the help of the factors identified in this study and the weights determined for each of them, a method can be developed to assess the level of readiness of healthcare providers in adopting blockchain technology in EHR systems.

With the prevalence of COVID-19 in the world and the sharp increase in deaths due to it, hospitals are in dire need of changing their situation and raising their preparedness in the face of the crisis. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to prioritize the factors related to the readiness of hospitals against COVID-19.

In this descriptive-survey study, first, by reviewing the literature, factors related to hospital readiness were extracted. Then, in order to validate these factors and reach the consensus of the expert group (40 physicians and nurses involved in the front line of the corona), the Delphi method was used. Finally, the identified indicators were ranked and prioritized using the SWARA (Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis) technique.

The literature review and Delphi method led to the identification of 18 indicators related to hospital readiness, the most important of which were the number of staff, medical equipment, education and work experience, emergency network and manpower readiness, respectively.

Considering the severe vulnerability of hospitals to possible corona peaks, based on the results of this study, the condition of hospitals can be evaluated from five perspectives: hospital building, medical equipment, communication equipment, transportation and personnel, and necessary measures should be taken to eliminate their shortcomings.

When an epidemic occurs, resources, including hospital beds, are severely limited and not all patients can be treated; so, hospital bed rationing is inevitable. Therefore, the aim of this study is to provide a method for evaluating and prioritizing patients with COVID-19 for admission to the intensive care unit.

This was a descriptive-survey study in terms of data collection method conducted in the summer of 2021. Following the formation of an expert panel with 4 specialists, a three-stage approach to evaluating and prioritizing COVID-19 patients was adopted by combining multi-criteria decision analysis methods. In the first stage, effective criteria and sub-criteria for patients’ prioritization were identified by a panel of experts and related studies, and the hierarchy of criteria was drawn. In the second stage, the Fuzzy best-worst method was used to determine the weight of criteria and sub-criteria. Finally, in the third stage, a combined compromise solution method was performed to prioritize 10 patients in need of COVID-19 and the most critical patient was selected.

According to the experts, among the 15 criteria studied, respiratory rate, PaO2/FiO2, impaired consciousness, mean arterial pressure and age were identified as 5 of the most important criteria in prioritizing COVID-19 patients for intensive care unit admission. In addition, 10 COVID-19 patients referred to Shohadaye Pakdasht Hospital were evaluated and prioritized with the proposed approach.

The proposed method can be used as a useful tool in the evaluation of COVID-19 patients for admission to the intensive care unit and to support the vital decisions of physicians.

The knowledge based industrial organizations in order to produce the high-quality products in the shortest span of time, with the least expenses, require having access to the knowledge at the time which is necessary. Thus, knowledge sharing is one of the most key factors to the success in such organizations. However, the amount of sharing the knowledge among the employees depends on various factors and included different useful outcomes for the organizations. Hence, the study using a concrete model tried to investigate the relation among the empowered people, processes, and the result of knowledge sharing in the knowledge based industrial organization. The social capital as empowered factors, collecting knowledge, and donating knowledge as processes, employees’ productivity as the result of knowledge sharing are investigated. The research method was descriptive-survey. To gather the data, questionnaire was used. To test hypotheses the Partial Least Squares was used. The results gathered from 143 people from 10 investigated Firms showed that there was a positive significant difference in mutual social relationship and trust on employees’ willingness to gather knowledge and donating it. Finally, some practical implications for knowledge practitioners to foster firm innovation capability through knowledge sharing were suggested.

Employees’ knowledge sharing is a key ability to achieve sustainable competitive advantage in current dynamic economic, especially in high-tech firms. Effective knowledge sharing among employees could considerably affect time, cost and quality of research and development activities in such organizations. Therefore, this paper is aimed at examining how to form knowledge-sharing behavior in a high-tech firm based on theory of planned behavior (TPB). To this end, following literature review about knowledge-sharing determinants, theory of planned behavior is explained. Then, the conceptual model and research hypotheses are discussed. A descriptive-survey methodology was conducted and a questionnaire developed for gathering data. Also, Partial Least Squares (PLS) method was used to test research hypotheses. Following the analysis of data gathered from the statistical population, results show that there is a significant positive effect of attitude toward knowledge sharing, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control on knowledge-
sharing intention. Additionally, research findings indicate that knowledge-sharing intention and perceived behavioral control significantly influence on knowledge-sharing behavior. Finally, based on research findings, some practical implications for knowledge management practitioners, to foster employees’ knowledge sharing, are suggested and also some suggestions are made for future works to overcome current research shortcomings.

K nowledge sharing is a key ability to achieve sustainable competitive advantage in today’s turbulent environments. Effective knowledge sharing among employees may considerably influence organizational performance of organizations. Therefore, this study intends to examine impacts of quality of work life on forming knowledge-sharing behavior in a research center in Iran. This is a descriptive research and an applied research from objective perspective and a survey due to data gathering method. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyze research hypotheses. A questionnaire was developed for measuring quality of work life, knowledge-sharing attitude, intention, and behavior based on prior research and distributed in target population. An analysis of 317 completed and valid questionnaires showed that quality of work life has a positive significant effect on knowledge-sharing attitude and behavior in studied organization. In addition, attitude toward knowledge sharing can enhance the tension toward knowledge sharing which in turn can improve real knowledge-sharing behaviors. Moreover, research findings indicated that among quality of work life dimensions, constitutionalism in work is the most influential factor of knowledge sharing. Finally, according to research findings, practical implications for managers and knowledge management practitioners as well as suggestions for future research to fill the research gap are proposed.

Knowledge sharing is a fundamental ability in industrial research and development centers through which employees can contribute to knowledge application، innovation، and ultimately the competitive advantage of the organization. Effective knowledge sharing among employees may considerably impact duration، cost and quality of research and development activities in such organizations. Therefore، this paper is aimed at examining the effects of motivational and organizational determinants in forming knowledge-sharing behavior in an industrial research and development center through synthesizing theory of planned behavior and social exchange theory. A descriptive-survey methodology was conducted and a questionnaire developed for data gathering. Partial Least Squares (PLS) method also used to test research hypotheses. Result of analyzing 85 questionnaires indicated that individuals’ attitudes toward knowledge sharing are positively affected by perceived enjoyment in helping others and perceived reputation enhancement، while negatively affected by perceived loss of knowledge power. It is also revealed that attitude toward knowledge sharing and subjective norms significantly determine intention to share knowledge، which then determines knowledge sharing behavior. In addition، research findings supported the positive effects of organizational climate and information and communication facilities as organizational determinants on subjective norms and perceived behavioral control، respectively. At last، based on research findings، some practical implications for knowledge management practitioners to foster knowledge sharing in industrial research and development centers suggested and research opportunities for future researchers to fill this research’s gaps proposed.

To gain strategic advantage, pioneering organizations capitalize on the practice of innovation in an Ever increasing trend. Among all possible ways and means for achieving innovation, Transformational style of leadership has attracted the attention of many scholars and Practitioners. From this perspective, the current article attempts to investigate the direct impact Transformational leadership style on innovation as compared with the indirect effects of the Variable through mediation of adaptive culture and meeting high-order needs of employees Within the context of some Tehran-based high-tech private companies. Based on the output Of Structural Equation Modeling technique, results indicate that transformational style of Leadership lacks any direct effect on innovation in target population, while the indirect effects Of the variable through mediation of adaptive culture and meeting high-order needs of employees Turn to be significant.

One The advent of open innovation in innovation management workplace implies that organizations need to develop their cooperation with external partners as well as internal R&D to ensure successful new product development. Thus this paper tries to examine the effect of developing open innovation approach on new product development success in a research and development organization. To this, we develop conceptual model and research hypotheses by reviewing the literature about open innovation and product development success. Then for measuring open innovation dimensions and new product development success, we develop a questionnaire and distribute it in target population. Research hypotheses were tested with correlation and regression statistical tests. In the studied organization, correlation analysis supports the positive and significant relationship between all dimensions of open innovation and new product development success. Furthermore, Regression analysis results indicated that among the open innovation initiatives, internal exploration and internal exploitation had a positive and significant effect on new product development success. At the end, some practical implications for innovation management practitioners to develop open innovation in case study organization by developing external practices of innovation suggested and research opportunities for future researchers to fill this research’s gaps proposed.

In a massive endeavour to develop their strategic advantages and beat their rivals، today’s pioneering organizations put the issues of developing human capacities and enhancing the organizational commitment of their personnel high on the agenda، and exploit all possible means and mechanisms to those ends. In this respect، the transformative leadership style has demonstrated its high degree of effectiveness as one of the most powerful relevant factors. In spite of this، the lack of familiarity with or non-consideration of the intermediary variables in explaining the indirect effects of transformative leadership style on the staff’s organizational behaviour is a chief concern of many scholars in the field. The present article seeks to study، with regard to the unique role of organizational culture in regulating the staff’s organizational behaviour، the direct and indirect effects of transformative leadership style upon the organizational commitment of the personnel in a defence organization، considering organizational culture as an intermediary variable. The results of data analysis show that transformative leadership style can influence the organizational commitment of the personnel by propagating and fostering entrepreneurial and hierarchical cultures within the organization.

New developments in leadership theories have moved from charismatic theories, that considered leadership as something unusual, and regard followers dependent on leadership, to transformational and new charismatic theories that has focused on developments and empowerment of followers for independent functions. Due to increasingly attention to leadership factor in creation of organization developments in the world levels and the critical role of culture in its execution resulted in the study of the literatures related to transformational leadership Concepts and organization culture framework. In this article the literatures related to transformational leadership and organization culture and the effect of transformational leadership on organization culture are reviewed and a conceptual framework is provided. The results of this research indicated that the organization leaderships can create changes in culture by developing transformational leadership characteristics in themselves and thereby accomplish organization targets and finally create fundamental changes in organizations.

The hard competitive condition and the dominance of knowledge forces on the field of business have created great challenges for today's leaders. In such a situation, making use of transformational leadership method for improving the utilization of human capacities and promoting the degree of organizational commitment have been considered seriously by advanced organizations. Moreover, organizational culture is another effective lever by the use of which organizational leaders can make changes in the capabilities of the employees. Therefore, this research is intended to evaluate the intermediary role of organizational culture in the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational commitment in Tehran Power Company to get to an effective mechanism for promoting organizational commitment. Having analyzed the data, the researchers found out that transformational leadership can affect organizational commitment by increasing competitive and hierarchical culture.
