The sustainable development in public organizations has become a principle in the framework of today's organizations. The purpose of this article is to present a causal model to investigate the antecedents of sustainable development of public organizations. The approach used for data analysis and conclusion is intuitive fuzzy cognitive map. In this article, in the first stage, an attempt was made to create a causal model for the antecedents extracted from the literature and interviews with 15 experts of public organizations in Kerman city. In the second stage, by creating a scenario for two external antecedents “attention of stakeholders” and “Expectations for greater transparency” were observed, which changes have significant effects on increasing investment for infrastructure development, paying attention to clients in providing services, approving and complying with regulations, and the requirement to minimize environmental impacts. On the other hand, in this article, it has been tried to determine which antecedent for sustainable development has the most and the least influence. Based on the results, “increasing social awareness” has the most influence and “company culture” as an antecedent that can be considered with It is the highest degree of centrality.

In the past two years, with the occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic phenomenon, widespread disruptions appeared in supply chains. Due to the importance of this phenomenon for supply chain warping, much research was conducted in this field and this study aims to expand its literature.

Today, sustainable innovation is recognized as a way to gain a competitive advantage and solve social and environmental problems. The aim of this study was to developing a model of sustainable innovation in public hospitals in Tehran using Grounded Theory in public hospitals in Tehran. 

The present study is a qualitative study that was performed by Grounded Theory method. Experts of public hospitals in Tehran (physicians, hospital managers, deputy director of development and support and administrative assistants) were considered as the population of this study. A combination of targeted method and snowball was used to select the sample. The method of data collection was semi-structured interviews with 11 experts familiar with the topic of sustainability innovation. The validity of the instruments was determined by external audits and the reliability was determined by Holsti Test and the data were analyzed through open, axial and selective coding.

The model of sustainable innovation in hospitals was developed in 6 components, 25 subcomponents and 84 concepts. Subcomponents include: causal conditions such as political stability, economic stability, stability of laws and cultural stability, background conditions include internal environment dynamics, staff dynamics, vision and awareness dynamics, and infrastructure dynamics, intervention conditions include macro environment conditions, organizational conditions and capabilities, and infrastructure conditions, axial phenomena include environmental monitoring and management, social monitoring and management, economic monitoring and management, strategies include health-oriented, quality and up-to-date services, keeping pace with the Fourth Industrial Revolution, attention to design and architecture, crisis preparedness, bio-imitation and pollution management, outcomes were categorized into tangible community outcomes, intangible community outcomes, tangible hospital outcomes, and intangible hospital outcomes. 

The final model indicates that the 6 components, 25 subcomponents, can provide sustainable innovation in public hospitals. It is suggested that hospital officials, considering the model developed, provide a suitable platform for the development of sustainable innovation in hospitals.

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is one of the best tools for evaluating the performance of decision-making units. Traditional DEA fails to measure efficient and inefficient units and evaluate the performance of network systems, and traditional models of DEA do not pay attention to internal structures and intermediate values. For this reason, in recent years, DEA model, known as network Data Envelopment Analysis models, have been introduced, this models eliminated this deficiency by considering intermediate values. In this paper, DEA based on network two-stage and slack variables and triangular intuitionistic fuzzy data is used to identify the efficiency of units. At first, the two-stage DEA model is introduced and then the model is transformed based on intuitionistic fuzzy coefficients and variables and finally it is converted to crisp two-stage structures by arithmetic operators on intuitionistic fuzzy data. The importance of this model is to measure the values of slack variables, which based on the Tone and Tsutsui model optimizes the intermediate values for inefficient units and ultimately shows better inefficiency. Finally, the optimized intermediate values are considered in the proposed model and thus are improved the overall efficiency of the system.

Online queuing systems in medical centers significantly reduce waiting time and costs, and increase patient satisfaction with the quality of services provided. Service provisions with the desired quality through these systems will manage the crowds in the health care centers. In the current situation, gatherings cause an upward trend of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent problems for the clients. Therefore, identifying the indicators affecting the evaluation of service quality of queuing systems is essential and can be effective in improving medical services.

The present study is an applied research in terms of purpose, and a descriptive-analytical survey study in terms of data collection. Fifteen individuals living in Yazd city, including university professors, experts of medical centers, and users familiar with online appointment systems, formed the statistical population. In this study, in order to collect data, three types of questionnaires were distributed among experts.

The results of the study with the combined approach of AHP and fuzzy DEMATEL indicated that accuracy of appointment time and information, level of experience of site planners, the possibility of cancellation of booked appointments, and reliability of the system are the influential indicators.

Identifying the effective indicators of the online queuing system has played a very effective role in increasing the level of information exchange, reducing costs, especially during the corona outbreak, improving the quality of services provided by medical centers, and accordingly increasing patient satisfaction. The mentioned features have led to a significant increase in the use of online queuing systems in health care centers in recent years.

Applying an integration approach to green supply chain management in health care centers can improve its performance, as integration enables coordinated efforts to regulate different resources within organization and across supply chains for implementing best practices in environmental management. This study endeavors to investigate the relationship between green supply chain integration and sustainable performance in healthcare centers of Yazd, Iran.

The participants of this quantitative-qualitative study were 10 specialists and 59 experts from the supply chain of public hospitals in Yazd. Initially, library studies, and content analysis were conducted, and the initial indicators were identified. Then, based on semi-structured interviews with 10 university experts and healthcare centers, these indicators were reviewed. According to the final indicators, a questionnaire was distributed among managers and health service experts of six public hospitals in Yazd to evaluate the study variables. Finally, 59 questionnaires were collected and employed to analyze the data through the SmartPLS software.

The final output of the study was a model for measuring the relationship between green supply chain integration and improving the sustainable performance of health care centers in Yazd, which will be useful for health experts to plan to improve sustainability in healthcare centers.

Supply chain integration expressed 78%, 75%, and 68% of the changes in the dimensions of sustainable social, economic, and environmental performance, respectively. In effect, the integration of the green supply chain in these centers will reduce environmental pollution, improve the social facets, and elevate the quality of services, and ultimately improve the economic performance of healthcare service centers.

The healthcare sector is one of the largest service industries with the highest potential to improve environmental performance. Hospitals as an important part of the healthcare system must act in a way that reduces their environmental consequences, which requires having a green supplier. The aim of this study was to identify the effective factors on the green supplier selection (GSS) in the hospital and to present an excellent model for analyzing the relationships between these factors. In this study, 14 concepts that effect the green supplier selection of a hospital have been extracted from in-depth literature and interviews entailing: financial capability, creativity and innovation, green technology, flexibility, organizational capability, commitment, trust on supplier, green quality, green transportation, environmental cooperation with customers, hazardous materials management, buy green, green warehouse and green packaging.In addition Intuitive fuzzy cognitive mapping approach was also used for data analysis and conclusion. The results showed that green technology index with 0.43 degree was the most influential and organizational capability index with 0.29 degree had the most influence over the other concepts. In addition, focusing on concepts like financial capability, trust on supplier and creativity and innovation process of green supplier selection of hospital. Taking these in consideration these factors should be given specific attention.

Innovation is an essential tool for the supply chain to gain its competitive advantage and improve its performance. Many researchers have remarked that supply chain innovation is a vital tool for improving the performance of a supply chain and can be very productive. This research attempts to identify and analyze the effective factors on the innovation supply chain in the health sector. The effective factors on the innovative supply chain were extracted by reviewing the literature, similar studies, and experts’ surveys. In this regard, 49 criteria were determined in eight dimensions. Intuitive fuzzy DEMATEL (IFD) and AHP methods were used to determine the weight and the relationships between them. The results indicated organizational innovation as the most important dimension, government support innovation as the most effective dimension, and process innovation as the most affected dimension. Some researchers believe that this period guarantees the survival and success of service organizations in this competition. However, the logistics and communication network of a business is required as a new and innovative landscape to use the competitive advantage opportunities to perceive the global era.

In today's world, considering the concept of e-government with the aim of increasing the efficiency of public management and the necessity of providing a foundation for balancing in the economic, social and environmental fields, presentation of a suitable model for the realization of a sustainable e-government in the context of the situation of a country's needs. In this regard, the purpose of this study was to identify the factors affecting the implementation of sustainable e-government in Iran, as well as designing an interpretive structural model based on the knowledge of experts on the phenomenon studied. To do this, after studying the literature and identifying the factors affecting the implementation of sustainable e-government, a matrix questionnaire was designed and distributed among 15 experts selected by targeted sampling. By analyzing the data, the factors affecting the implementation of sustainable e-government were classified in 7 levels (level one: legal requirements; second level: cultural management and strategic management; third level: financial management; fourth level: infrastructure management and human resource competence management; fifth Level: Service Management, Electronic Information Management and Event Management; Sixth Level: Citizenship e-Readiness; and Seventh Level: Citizens' Communication Management).

Today, the information systems play a critical role in business for each organization. Like other organizations, hospitals use information systems for data collection, data storage, data processing and the like to have long-term and short-term achievements. Despite the very benefits of implementing HIS and its costly implementation, the HIS project sometimes fails. The importance of the HIS failure and preventive practices in this regard have led researchers investigate the causes of failure for information systems in hospitals. In this paper, an FMEA-based model is presented in an intuitionistic fuzzy environment to evaluate the HIS failure factors. For this purpose, Data required to implement the proposed model were collected in 5 hospital, in Kerman (Iran). Based on research studies and survey of hospital academic experts, a total number of 27 failure modes were determined for the implementation HIS. The results of the proposed approach indicated that 8 factors are of paramount importance in terms of HIS failure causes: Individuals' lack of skill/knowledge, lack of integration between system and organizational activities, unrealistic planning, lack of IT management or weak project team (information system), improper software development, lack of managerial skills, misdiagnosis of roles and responsibilities, inconsistency between corporate culture and change requirements (compatibility).

Cyberspace gives the perpetrator with a great opportunity to commit and conceal cybercrime that it’s threatens is far more than the real environment. The importance of the issue is that the results of nonconformity with economic, social, psychological and technical issues in this area threaten many of our principles and rules; therefore, it is necessary to identify and analyze factors related to the creation of cyber space crimes in order to prevent delinquency in cyberspace.

the present study is applicable in terms of practical purpose and in terms of method, descriptive - analytic. The population and the statistical sample of this study are all managers and experts on cyberspace crimes. The research sample includes 10 experts from Yazd Fata Police and the University of Science and Art, and the statistical population was large. In the following, three types of questionnaires were distributed among experts to collect data. The aim of distribution of this questionnaire was to identify factors and explain causal relations between them.

The low level factors of public awareness and users about how to use cyberspace, lack of guilt in the criminals, lack of income-generating occupation is one of the influential factors.

Determining the factors influencing cybercrime can be useful and effective in designing and selecting the best measures and policies for managers and decision makers in this area, especially for the NAJA.

The considerable development in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) caused to use new technics and electronic systems to write the description. The current investigation was conducted to recognize the efficient factors on implementing electronic extinction in pharmacies in Iran using Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and Fuzzy Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (Fuzzy DEMATEL) methods.

This research aimed to measure the factors based on quality as well as practical investigation by asking 15 experts in field of health ICT, as well as pharmacy experts in Yazd City, Iran. In priority, the research was started based on the library method, and it tended to recognize the primary criteria. Afterwards, these criteria were assessed using semi-structured interviews with 15 experts. Therefore, considering final factors, two questionnaires (about the importance of factors and causative relationships) were finalized and distributed among the experts to be assessed later using Delphi technic.

The efficient factors that would be useful for confirming electronic communication were as “digital signature, senior managers’ support for automation of writing prescription, training of how to work with electronic version, and governmental subsidies and financial supports”.

Regarding the sustainability considerations in the health care centers is critical to improve the quality of services, to decrease the costs and environmental issues. Of approaches that health care centers can use to achieve sustainability is sustainable supply chain management that improves environmental, social and economic effects of the organizations. In this research, after a review on the literature related to the sustainability in health care centers and sustainable supply chain management as well as interview with experts in these fields, 15 barriers of implementing sustainable supply chain management were determined in the health care centers. In addition, in another interview with experts, the relations and order of the importance of 15 identified barriers were determined according to interpretive structural modeling approach. The research results indicate that in addition to the Lack of an institutional support for integration, coordination and communication that is the most important barrier in implementing sustainable supply chain management in health care centers, the Lack of top management commitment to initiate sustainability efforts, the lack of knowledge among the members of supply chain, the lack of skilled human resources and Unawareness among society about social practices are also considered as other barriers in implementing sustainable supply chain management in the health care centers.

Health care centers as an important part of health care industry, in addition to following their major mission, that is, providing high quality health service, can gain environmental and even socioeconomic advantages through reducing environmental effects resulted from their activities. With the goal of gaining these advantages, health care centers can increase their environmental performance through adopting a systematic and proper approach in application of information systems (ISs). The Green information systems (ISs) that indicate a novice approach in application of ISs are considered as necessary tools to realize the goals of environmental sustainability. Different factors affect Green ISs adoption by health care centers. In this research, these factors were first identified through library method and review of the literature. Then, the relationships between these factors were analyzed and modeled using interpretive structural approach. According to the results, the volume of social investment, research and development along with the senior management’s insight and commitment are the most important factors affecting Green ISs adoption in the health care centers.

Healthcare centers can achieve social sustainability through adoption of sustainable information systems (SIS). This study aimed to identify and model the factors played a role in affecting the adoption of health care centers with information systems.
The current study was a descriptive survey in the category of applied research. The statistical population of this study included two groups. The first group consisted of experts. The factors were identified and modeled by library studies, and through interviews with experts. The second group consisted of the staff, nurses, head nurses, and supervisors in Alzahra training and treatment center of Isfahan, Iran. The research questionnaire was distributed among the second statistical population. The identified factors were leveled through the interpretive structural modeling. The research hypotheses were then defined based on the model’s levels. The research hypotheses were tested using the analysis techniques of the study route.
The interpretive interpretive-structural model included three levels. The factor of staff along with society and shareholders was placed at the first level. The factor of business ethics was placed at the second level. The third level included factors of social responsibility and organizational responsibility. The research hypotheses were determined based on the model’s levels. The results obtained from model fitness indicated the confirmation of all research hypotheses.
Social responsibility and organizational responsibility are two fundamental and effective factors in adoption of health care centers with sustainable information system. The adoption of sustainable requires senior management support, strategy development, proper policies, and expansion of organizational knowledge storage.

Morality is one of the main factors that preserves the nature and due respect of auditing. Today, the expectations of the community from accounting and auditing has been overwhelmingly heightened. The increase of such expectations, requires the formal accountants to serve people within moral frame of auditing. This research, therefore,
determines and prioritizes fifteen moral values in auditing from Islamic viewpoint by means of reviewing the existing literature and interviewing seven professional auditors through TOPSIS method. The results derived from professional auditors expresses that autonomy is the most important value in auditing. Reviewing the existing literature tells us that ignoring autonomy would disqualify other values as well. After autonomy, neutrality, honesty, objectivism and truth-seeking are crucially important too. Yet showing respect for individuals, philanthropy and trust in auditing are not posited in the list. Ultimately, the research resulted in success of the profession by virtue of following Islamic morals in auditing.

Nowadays, with a growing body of features and technologies, supply chain management is being widely used to coordinate and optimize key processes such as increasing customer satisfaction, facilitating the processes, and enhancing product quality. In recent years, the emergence of IT and new business environments has led to the development of electronic supply chains. In order to use and benefit from the privileges of e-supply chains, organizations must identify the key factors in the implementation of e-supply chain management so that they can monitor the organization's current and future activities and take action to identify and modify and fix any bugs. The present study aimed at identifying these factors. Based on the available theoretical foundations and expert opinions, the factors affecting the implementation of electronic supply chain management were identified in seven factors with 31 indicators. To determine the weight of the identified factors considering the lack of independence between them, an integrated type-2 fuzzy AHP and type-2 fuzzy DEMATEL approach was used. Results showed that computer-based technology, infrastructure, inter-organizational relationships, and information are the most important factors.

Mosques as the most important places for Muslims have basic role in converting their behavior. Such holly places would be more important when serve to young students at university, this analyzing and planning for more attraction in this kind of mosques is the most important dimension of enhancing students` spirituality. The present study tends to distinct and detects the complication of practical aspects of prayer rooms in universities. The author of the paper has used linguistic variables – a branch of fuzzy approach- in measuring and analyzing mosques` functions with a user based approach. Result shows that spiritual functions are at the most importance and surplus functions are at the least importance in university mosques. Religious ceremonies are at the most importance and then spiritual aspects, managers of the mosques, well-equipped conditions and surplus functions are important. The most important attention is pald to the religious duties among university students.

Women’s entrepreneurship has a tremendous potential in empowering women and transforming society. Recently, it has been recognized that more and more women in many cultures such as our country are becoming entrepreneurs in a formal sense. However, the prospect of women becoming entrepreneurs is limited by various barriers. The statistics show that less than 10 per cent of the entrepreneurs in Iran are women and a host of barriers prevent women from realizing their full potential as entrepreneurs. This article tries to explore and identify the barriers of women's entrepreneurship in Iran. At the first we investigated the literature on barriers to women’s entrepreneurship. Then by using of experts opinions, theses barriers are classified into seven dimensions and 41 factors. Then we used statistical methods to analyses the data collected from women entrepreneurs of Yazd province. Outcomes show that 30 factors in six dimensions affect women entrepreneurship. These six dimensions are familial, scientific, personality, financial, culture-society and regulation. And the nurture dimension has no effect on women entrepreneurship.
