The main purpose of the current research is to provide a model for improving the resilience of jihadist groups.

Design/methodology/approach:

 In terms of method, this research is an applied research, and in the first step, it was conducted qualitatively using the grounded theory method of the foundation data. The statistical population of the research consists of experts, senior managers and decision-makers of the country who have executive experience in the field of grassroots institutions and jihadi groups in the country's macro-management sector. In the second step, the Dimetal method was used to determine the type and degree of influence of the components on each other.

The results of the implementation and analysis of the interviews conducted with subject matter experts show the impact of 14 core categories on enhancing the resilience of jihadist groups. 14 core categories consist of 66 subcategories and 255 conceptual codes. The most effective categories according to Dimtel's method are: spiritual motivations, revolutionary manager and members, having an independent identity, correct management and planning, combined jihadi groups, promotion of mental and physical health, resilience training, fulfilling the wishes of jihadi groups, permanent recruitment Force, culture building, updating Jihad methods, raising awareness among the people of the target area, popular participation, sustainable financial resources.

Finally, based on the obtained model, the central category, causal conditions, contextual conditions, strategic conditions, and intervening factors and the consequences of enhancing resilience in jihadist groups were extracted from the texts of the interviews.

This paper aims to comprehensively review the conceptualizations of "business resilience" in the context of entrepreneurship and gather different perspectives on the topic. The goal is to provide conceptual clarity and enhance theoretical and practical outcomes in entrepreneurship research.

This research is a descriptive study carried out using the qualitative meta-analysis (QMA) method. The purpose of this method is to qualitatively summarize a set of researches in terms of concepts, methods, results, context, etc. This method especially is used when the central issue has been investigated from various perspectives. By searching for research published between 2000 to 2020, containing “resilience” in the title, approximately 10,500 records were found. Filtering the document and journal titles with certain words led to 1260 records. At this stage, a group of papers was selected for further analysis by reviewing titles and abstracts. After detailed examination, 85 studies were selected for qualitative analysis and coding. Thereafter, subsequent steps for conducting a qualitative meta-analysis research including the appraisal of primary studies, preparing data, data analysis and credibility checks are followed.

The final results of the analysis are provided in three main parts. At first, the definitions of resilience were categorized into six groups. Then, similar concepts to resilience were classified into four groups based on crisis occurrence time. Finally, a network of related concepts to business resilience was developed. This network has eight parts. According to this conceptual network, resilience is assumed to have three main definitions in general. Some define “resilient business” as “a business that has survived after the disaster”, some assume it to be “a business that has recovered to the same performance level in comparison to the pre-disaster state”, and others describe it as “a business that has improved its performance to a higher level”. Also, resilience has been explained at four levels: “regional economic resilience”, “social resilience”, “business resilience”, and “resilience of the entrepreneur”. Moreover, resilience has been studied by three main approaches, namely “engineering”, “ecological” and “adaptive”. Considering the required duration to evaluate resilience, some believe that resilience could be evaluated at any “point” in time, while others declare that it is necessary to consider a “duration” of time for evaluation.

The literature on business resilience is rich at the individual and business levels but lacks research at macro levels. Integrating ecological and adaptive approaches with the engineering approach would contribute significantly to the field. It is suggested to categorize concepts into "active-passive" and "absorptive-adaptive" dualities and avoid the use of numerous overlapping terms and definitions found in the literature.

Since the goal of today's management and its success criterion is to help achieve the vision, goals, strategies and continuous improvement of organizational performance and one of the most important steps for organizational success in the field of performance, comprehensive and strategic view of management Performance in the organization. Also, a system of evaluation and monitoring in the form of performance management that monitors the macro plans of the camp with a systematic view at all levels and from the feedback received not only for evaluation, but with the aim of continuously improving it and achieving strategic goals and plans. It is one of the necessities. The main purpose of this article is to Designing a Strategic Performance Management Model in Large Engineering Organizations (Case Study: Khatam-al Anbiya Construction Headquarters) in order to benefit from it.  

This article is descriptive-survey in terms of practical purpose and in terms of type and method of data collection. In order to collect information on the factors affecting strategic performance management, theoretical-field studies have been conducted. After reviewing the research background, a Delphi panel was formed and appropriate members were selected for it. Judicial sampling method has been used in selecting panel members; Two groups were selected. The first group of experts familiar with the camp and the second group of experts in the field of performance management in the organization. 25 people from the first group and 15 people from the second group announced their readiness, which formed a panel of 40 people in total. Finally, after three rounds of implementation, a consensus was reached on the factors affecting the management of strategic performance; The identified factors were the basis for preparing the ISM questionnaire. At this stage, 25 managers and experts were identified to determine the type of relationship and prioritization of factors and this questionnaire was used to determine the final pattern. In this research, due to the high complexity of the systems and multilayer units of the relevant organization, by no means, it is not possible to be satisfied with just using one method (quantitative or qualitative) and with it, gain sufficient knowledge about the research situation. For this reason, in order to meet this need, a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, called combined or mixed research methods, the combined exploratory method has been used and the approach of this research is inductive-deductive. In terms of strategy, this research uses content analysis and typology strategies, and finally, the method of data collection is document review and questionnaire.  

In this study, the factors affecting the strategic performance management of Khatam-al Anbiya Construction Headquarters construction camp were identified by Delphi method. The 14 factors affecting the strategic performance management of the construction camp include the following: Strategic goals taking into account stakeholders; Define the expected level; Strategic control; Performance measurement; Continuous performance feedback; Reporting and disseminating information; Performance review and correction; Key success factors and selection of key metrics and indicators; Operational control; Organizational Structure; Collection and flow of information; Pivotal action plan; Conceptual exploration and environmental exploration.

Based on the final diagram of the ISM model, the strategic goals factor, considering the stakeholders, as the underlying factor affecting the strategic performance management is in the highest priority over other factors. This factor includes many factors that the mission and purpose of the organization; Micro and macro goals of the organization; Core values ​​and culture of the organization; Internal strengths and weaknesses of the organization; Opportunities and environmental threats of the organization are among these factors that the placement of this factor in the highest priority, shows the importance and comprehensiveness of this factor and the accuracy of the designed model. At the next levels, there are two factors: conceptual exploration (mission, vision, resources and values) and environmental exploration (strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and environmental threats); According to the majority of experts, these two factors support the strategic goals, which was also correctly obtained in the diagram. The level after the conceptual and environmental exploration is strategic control. In fact, strategic control by considering internal and external issues (from the outputs of conceptual and environmental exploration) always monitors strategic goals and, if necessary, modifies them according to the circumstances. The construction site is a military organization and has a hierarchy, so if there is a need for reform in the organization, it is necessary to make that change in the structure of the base (both organizational structure and information structure), which is clearly indicated in the diagram. Is. Now, it is time to plan the action and determine the key factors for success and select the key indicators that these two factors are correctly listed one after the other in the ISM diagram. In fact, although appropriate goals are set in any organization, but not implemented in the organization will not be of much value. In this regard, it is necessary to determine the key factors of success of the organization and its indicators, based on the strategic goals of the organization. The next step (data collection and dissemination factor) is to ensure its implementation. In the next level, two factors of reporting and disseminating information and collecting and flowing information that are bilaterally obtained are obtained, and in the last level, completely related factors such as defining the expected level; Performance measurement; Continuous performance feedback; Performance review and operational control achieved.

Since the designing of the first maturity models by Crosby and Nolan in the late 1970s, various maturity models have been developed in a wide range of applied fields such as information technology, knowledge management, human capital management, and so on. However, few methods and theories have been presented on how to design maturity models, and their structure, elements and architecture. Many of the writers have notified the deficiency of a comprehensive and generally accepted method. A review of the present maturity models reveal that most of them, disregarding the methodological foundations of maturity model designing, have only imitated the structure of Crosby and Nolan proposed model.  Researchers who intend to develop maturity models bewildered on how many types of maturation models they can have, what benefits and limitations each of them can have, what the structure and elements of the maturity model is, and what components should be considered in its designing. Since providing an acceptable and comprehensive approach to the development of the maturity model require a deeper understanding of the current approaches and their assumptions and limitations, after giving an introduction to the concept of maturity models using the qualitative interpretive meta-analysis, the researchers identified 14 different and available approaches on how to design a model or maturity network. Based on the principles of designing these models, and according to their main themes, a deeper understanding of the most important components involved in the design of the maturity model was presented. To this end, the most important elements and themes of these 14 approaches are reported by “text to text” technique, according to the time precedence of each of them.

A general comparison of the national and international conferences on knowledge management indicates that national conferences have not been able to cover parts of modern fields of knowledge management. Hence, this research is intended to have a meta-analysis of the national and international knowledge management conferences in different areas first, and in the next phase, to compare national and international conferences to identify the gap between these two areas. Given the goals of the research, the researchers employed quantitative meta-analysis method. First, the national conferences in Iran were analyzed in terms of the content of conferences and the time of their holding. In the next phase, 19 significant international conferences held in 2018 were analyzed in terms of the content, the host country, as well as the month of their holding. Eventually, a comparison was held between these two series of conferences and practical suggestions were presented in this regard. Comparison between the issues related to the national knowledge management conferences in Iran and those of international ones indicated that issues related to organizational intelligence and the use of artificial intelligence in decision making support systems, networking, social media, virtual expert communities and privacy of data have declined. In fact, national knowledge management conferences have not discerned some knowledge management software and it is necessary to pay more attention to them in planning of future conferences.

According to Article 55 of Islamic Republic of Iran`s constitution, preparing "the budget settlement report" by the Supreme Audit Court in order to enforce the monitoring and control of the financial activities of the government is essential.. Studies have shown that during the 105 years of legal budgeting in Iran, the executive branch has not been able to prepare the settlement of budget bill on time to offer to the supreme audit court the legislative branch. In this study, we are going to identify the codification problems of the budget settlement report. This study, using semi-structured interviews, contents analysis by specialists and experts in the field of accounting and budgeting in Iran. Many factors, respectively, related to the budget bill and the law of budgeting; executive issues, the concept of settlement funds; regulatory issues; governmental accounting problems; problems in the Court, challenges and behavioral and environmental concepts and issues are research and expertise

Existing competent administrators in the public sector is one of the most crucial requirements for effective implementation of Iran's 20-year vision plan and accomplishing its aims. The study has developed competencies required by public administrators for accomplishing aims defined in the plan. In terms of the research purpode and data, this research is an applied study using mixed method (qualitative and quantitative). In qualitative step the proposed model has been developed by studing the content of the vision plan during three ordinary steps: description, analysis and interpretation of data. In quantitative step the developed model has been tested by path analysis through Lisrel software. These specified competencies have been classified in three main categories: personal (attitude-oriented and behavioral), job-related (knowledge-oriented and skill-oriented) and value-based (islamic and organizational). Among which, value-based, job related and personal competencies have ordinary the most influential effect in these model (0/92, 0/85 and 0/78). Developing public administrators competencies has a considerable effect on accomplishing the aims of 20-years vision plan. Evaluating and developing these copetencies should be a general priority in selection, placement and performance assessment of the administrators.

The current quality management models do not fit the situation of the military research organizations relating different fields of human resource، strategic management، leadership، culture and organizational behavior. Application of these models may cause some problems for these organizations.

This study attempts to investigate the impacts of several corporate governance mechanisms on two alternative proxies for agency costs, namely the ratio of total sales to total assets (asset turnover) and the ratio of selling, general and administrative expenses to total sales (SG&A). Agency costs, non-executive directors on the board, and institutional investors are dependent variables. The analysis is conducted by a cross-sectional regression approach. Findings of the research are different in regard to measuring scales of agency costs. There is significant relationship between non-executive directors and agency costs, in regard to asset turnover as a measuring scale, but this is not a significant relationship for institutional investors. By using the ratio of operational expenses to sales as measuring scale of agency costs, there is not also significant relationship between non-executive directors and agency costs, but this is significant relationship for institutional investors. In regard to combination of reverse ratio of asset turnover and ratio of operational expenses to sales as measuring scales of agency costs, there is significant relationship between non-executive directors and institutional investors with agency costs.

The present article is aimed at designing and explaining the IGRC’s model of strategic decision making in the Holy Defense as an important era in the IGRC’s commanding and managing process. In order for this to take place, it began to study the research literature and that of the Holy defense using an exploratory, retrospective and applied methods. In this research, the IGRC’s model of strategic decision making includes 5 dimensions, 18 parameters and 46 indicators all of which were categorized and prioritized based on the theoretical fundamentals of the research that supported all the hypotheses of this model. Therefore, the dimensions of the IGRC commanders’ model of decision making- within the order of their importance and contribution to measuring this model- are as follows: the potential of decision making, the decision making process, the decision maker, the nature of decision making and the decision making environment. According to the results of the measurement model, the relationship between variables and factors are robust. It means that the variables involved in measuring the relevant factors have an internal reliability and validity. It follows that the designed model is compatible with the features of the IGRC commanders’ strategic decision making in the Holy Defense, and that it will be a reliable model for implementing.

Successful implementation of knowledge management for organizations requires a systematic and comprehensive perspective about various organizational factors. Appropriateness of these factors and their integration and coordination is a vital perquisite for implementing knowledge management effectively. The primary purpose of the research is investigating the effect of three fundamental aspects of intellectual capital– human capital، structural capital and relational capital– on four stages of knowledge management practices (knowledge creation، storage، application and sharing). The data collection instrument is questionnaire and the research method is descriptive and corelational. The population studied in the research consists of managers and senior experts of the government state of one of the south states of Iran. A sample of 120 subjects was selected by simple random sampling. Data obtained is analyzed using correlation coefficient method and structural equations modeling. According to the research findings there are significant relationships between these intellectual assets and knowledge management practices. These findings support the necessity of preparing the perquisites of effective implementation of knowledge management. Accordingly، an organization characterized by more developed intellectual capitals can benefit from knowledge management initiatives.
