Increasing the productivity of organizations and their ever-increasing development requires the growth and productivity of employees as well as strengthening their motivation. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to present a transformation-oriented human resource management model, and in order to achieve this goal, the qualitative method of Grounded Theory (GT), Strauss and Corbin's approach was used. In order to collect data, semi-structured interviews were used, and to reach the participants, targeted sampling with a snowball approach was used. The statistical population of this research includes 142 experts, human resource managers of Isfahan municipality To achieve the concepts, categories and classes, the data obtained from the interviews were analyzed based on open, central and selective coding and were organized with the help of Maxqda18 software. The theoretical sampling process continued until no new features emerged and no new concepts were created during data collection, and finally theoretical saturation was achieved with 25 researcher interviews. Causal conditions include program causes, process causes, managerial causes and the existence of expert staff, intervening conditions including intra-individual factors and capacity for change, contextual conditions including political changes, legal transparency and organizational culture, strategies including comprehensive planning, Effective leadership. Improvement of processes, knowledge management and structural transformation and the resulting consequences including organizational Efficiency and social capital improvement were obtained.

The purpose of this article is to identify, categorize and model the factors affecting the marketing and development of Guilan rice acceptance. Rice is known as a strategic product in Guilan province, but its weak marketability has led to a decline in the agricultural economy of this product. It is thought that the findings of this study can be useful in better policy and management of this issue.

Due to the scope of the problem and the hiding of many influential variables in this research, we used grounded theory method as one of the qualitative research methods. For this reason, according to purposive sampling, we interviewed experts to achieve theoretical adequacy. to obtain the validity and reliability of the data, we used two methods. non-participant experts’ reviews and participant’ reviews.

A total of 395 initial codes were identified from 26 interviews after initial coding. After eliminating the iterations, 318 concepts and 61 main categories were structured based on strauss and corbin paradigm model. Finally, the categories were screened and the final 30 categories were identified consist of causal, contextual and intervening condition, strategies and results with the focus on the core category. In addition to the paradigm model, research-based suggestion were presented, which briefly include: developing rice alterant and processing industries, determination of guaranteed prices by the government for the purchase of rice from the farmer, sensitivity to customer needs, using e-marketing, developing agricultural marketing training programs, provide low interest loans, development of agricultural insurances for risk management, creation of a secondary source of income for farmers in unemployment seasons, timely supply and management of the product to the market, subsidies to domestic farmer to increase their incomes and reduce migration to cities, importing whole grain rice instead of white rice, allocating special funds for basic research, creating a strong organization with the aim of managing rice market and marketing services, holding farmers' meetings with relevant marketers, factory owners and managers, benefiting from food distribution marketers in other provinces, joint promotions of manufacturers and marketers, providing conditions for export.

The presented paradigm model is the result of interviews with groups that are tangibly related to rice crop from different views: Managers and policy makers, experts, farmer, factory owner, sellers of agricultural implements, non-farmer marketers (sellers), farmer marketers. The presence of these diverse groups shows the comprehensiveness of this research. The paradigm model obtained from the research along with the suggestions can be considered as a reliable basis for managing the pre-production, production and post-production of this strategic product and even other agricultural products and be effective in developing the market acceptance of this product.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of environmental sensitivity on , Employee Pro-Environmental Behaviour, considering the role of mediating effect of Social comparison nudge and Green nudge. The purpose of this study is descriptive and survey method. The statistical sample in this study was 189 employees of the environmental organization of Semnan province who were selected randomly. In order to analyze the data, partial least squares method was used. The findings indicate that the instrument of measuring is well-suited and its reliability coefficient is more than 0.7 for all research structures. The results indicate that environmental sensitivity has a positive and significant effect on Employee Pro-Environmental Behaviour. Also the environmental sensitivity has a positive and significant effect on Social comparison nudge and Green nudge. On the other hand, the Social comparison nudge has a negative and significant effect on the Employee Pro-Environmental Behaviour, but the Green nudge has a positive and significant effect on these behaviors. In addition, the Social comparison nudge and Green nudge does not play the role of mediation between environmental sensitivity and Employee Pro-Environmental Behaviour. With notice of ignoring the role and importance of organizational nudges, it can be said that this research has a novel and fresh look at this category, which can lead to the emergence of more nudges to improve and strengthen behaviors in the organizational arena.

Foresight evaluation is a challenging task. In fact, this essay is mainly focused on "how to sketch out a dynamic and integration model of foresight by using a systematic approach".

This study is a qualitative research and uses the Meta-synthesis method (Sandelowski & Barroso model); Articles published in the field of foresight evaluation in journals and international conferences held in Iran (1385-1396 Persian calendar) and in other countries (2000-2017 A.D.) are reviewed. In order to formulate the model 37 articles were selected by using Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP) scale. Finally, to measure the validity of the model Kappa index was calculated by using the SPPSS software. Since the Kapa index is less than 0.05, it is a significance level. Taking this into account, the assumption reflecting the independence hypothesis of the extracted codes is rejected and the correlation is proved. The calculated value for Kapa index is tantamount to 0.7477 which doesn’t vary from the internationally recognized value.

The model is presented in the format of a dynamic model of integrated evaluation of foresight which consists of two levels: The first level which shapes the main part of the model, explains the mechanism of integration and dynamics in the evaluation of objectives, outcomes and impacts of foresight. The second level, putting a systematic approach into work, dividers the foresight evaluation into three distinct stages: (1) Pre-evaluation (input),(2)Evaluation(process) and(3)Post- evaluation(output).

According to the literature review, no comprehensive and integrated study has been done so far on the Foresight evaluation. The proposed model is the first foresight evaluation comprehensive model. Having applied a systematic approach, this model provides a dynamic and integrated evaluation of foresight.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of environmentally transformational leadership, spiritual leadership and Environmental passion of employees on creating environmental behavior in the organization. This study was applied in a descriptive and it was done with surveyed manner. The statistical sample in this study was 212 employees of Shiraz municipality who were selected through available sampling method. Partial least squares method and Smart PLS2 software were used for data analysis. Convergent validity was used to assess the validity and Cronbach's alpha was used to fit the reliability and its coefficient was greater than 0.7 for all research constructs. The results show environmentally transformational leadership and spiritual leadership with a path coefficient (0.384) and (0.579) has a positive and significant effect on Environmental passion. The results confirmed the positive and significant effect of Environmental passion and proenvironmental behavior of employees with a path coefficient (0.613) and a significant coefficient (7.033). It also mediates Environmental passion in the organization of the relationship between environmentally transformational leadership and environmental behavior of employees, but does not mediate the relationship between spiritual leadership and proenvironmental behavior of employees. Based on the findings, it is suggested that municipality managers use transformational and spiritual leadership styles to control the behavior of their employees and thus create more Environmental enthusiasm for the presentation of environmental behaviors.

Profit smoothing can be seen as a deliberate reduction in profit fluctuations, so that the activities of the company appear to be normal. Managers are making profit smoothing to reduce this volatility. Some experts believe that investors are more willing to invest in smoothing companies and are willing to pay more for them. Researchers believe that some of the characteristics of the company influence the motivation of managers to smooth profits. This study attempts to explain the theoretical foundations of the research, the relationship between earnings smoothing and company characteristics such as earnings quality, P/E and ROE and ROTA. Check the securities. In order to investigate the relationship between earnings smoothing and firm characteristics, data related to the period 2010-2017 were collected and analyzed. Logistic regression was used to test the research hypotheses. The results show that companies with higher price to earnings (P/E) ratios have more incentive to report earnings. And companies with higher earnings quality are more motivated to report earnings smoothly. Finally, it was found that larger ROTAs had a greater incentive to report earnings.

One of the main activities of supply chain management is reverse logistics. Reverse logistic encompass all physical activities associated with returned products such as collection, recovery, recycling and disposal. An essential issue of modeling the problem of designing reverse logistic systems is considering the greater number of options regarding the quality of returns and also uncertainty in both quantity and the quality of the returned product. In this study, a two phase fuzzy mixed integer programming is proposed. Because some of parameters are fuzzy, this model design under uncertainty condition. Moreover, the reverse logistics network was developed as a multi-period and multi-product model. The objective function of model is minimizing the total cost of the network. The model is a type of NP-Hard problems which time of solution increases exponentially. Therefore, in this study, we use the genetic metaheuristic algorithm to solve the model.
