Considering that work is an important part of people's lives, therefore, identifying factors affecting well-being in different jobs is very important to promote well-being in the workplace. Therefore, the purpose of conducting this research is to first identify the dimensions and components of well-being in general and then to determine the level of importance of these factors from the point of view of accountants. In the current research, by using the meta-combination method, the findings of previous researchers have been analyzed and the effective dimensions on well-being have been extracted. Then coding was done using MAXQDA and the factors affecting well-being were categorized in 5 core categories and 50 coders. In the next step, according to the main goal of the article, the importance of each of the obtained dimensions and components has been determined with the help of 12 experts in the field of accounting and using the fuzzy screening method. The results of this survey showed that out of the fifty components extracted in the metacombination stage, 26 components are very important from the point of view of accountants. Also, the priority of the dimensions of well-being, according to the opinion of experts, in order of importance, includes the five main psychological, financial-economic, physical, occupational and socio-cultural dimensions. Therefore, in order to strengthen the well-being of accountants, it is recommended to employers and professional supervisory bodies to help improve the well-being of accountants by creating a suitable environment and taking into account the importance of the desired dimensions.

As digital advancements continue to evolve and grow, customers anticipate a smooth purchasing experience when they engage with businesses. To meet these expectations, businesses adopt an omnichannel marketing strategy, which offers customers a complete and uninterrupted purchasing experience, from initial contact to the end of the transaction. Recognizing the significance of this topic, a qualitative framework for implementing omnichannel marketing was developed through this study.Omnichannel marketing is becoming increasingly vital for businesses, as it enables them to create a consistent and personalized experience for customers across various channels and devices, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction, loyalty, and overall business performance.

The research employed Sandelowski and Barroso's seven-step model and the meta-synthesis approach. A total of 590 articles on omnichannel marketing were identified by searching reliable national and international scientific databases. After screening the title, abstract, and results, and carrying out an in-depth examination of the chosen articles using the CASP method, 89 key articles were selected for further analysis. The analysis was conducted using MAXQDA software by coding the articles.

The study's results revealed a comprehensive framework, including 1,087 open codes, 90 first-level subcategories, 13 second-level subcategories, and a three-tier model comprising four primary categories for implementing omnichannel marketing.

According to the study's findings, the implementation of omnichannel marketing relies on four key concepts, which are processes and functions, environment, customer interaction, as well as resources and capital. Additionally, out of the 13 subcategories at the second level, nine were given priority due to their high repetition in the data analyzed. These subcategories include organizational strategy and structure, market, business environmental background, customer behavioral characteristics, technology resources, customer characteristics, financial resource management, human capital, and human resource management. Finally, the study revealed 22 high-priority subcategories at the second level that businesses and marketers can leverage to effectively implement omnichannel marketing strategies. By focusing on the four main categories of processes and operations, environment, customer engagement, and resources and capital, businesses can build a strong foundation for their omnichannel marketing efforts. Two types of research are recommended for future investigation. First, to quantify the qualitative findings, one could prioritize the main categories, first-level subcategories, and second-level subcategories using various techniques and the insights of both Iranian and international experts. This research could be further categorized by industry, such as retail or banking, where omnichannel marketing is particularly relevant. Second, the proposed framework could be employed to assess and rank the antecedents of omnichannel marketing within Iranian organizations. This would enable them to identify their strengths and weaknesses, thereby better positioning themselves to achieve global standards in omnichannel marketing.

Intermediary organizations are amongst key players in the national innovation system which facilitate the process of innovation in various fields by carrying out various functions and coordinate interactions between different actors of this system. Existing theoretical background stated different functions and roles for innovation intermediaries, resulting in relatively extensive literature in this area. This study aims to show the qualitative synthesis of the findings of previous studies and to propose a comprehensive classification for the functions of intermediary organizations. This paper, with an in-depth review of more than 50 papers and adapting a qualitative approach, identifies and presents a framework for intermediary’s functions which includes 5 main functions and 31 activities. The framework encompasses five general categories: Mediating and Linking, Knowledge and Information Provider, Bridging and Networking, Technological and Innovative Service Provider, Identification and Provide Resource and market. The framework is validated by S&T policy making experts and conducting six case studies on different types of intermediary organization in the national innovation system. Finally, the Shannon entropy method was used to determine the coefficients of effect the identified functions, which “technological and innovative service provider” and “Mediating and Linking” functions, “technological intermediation and demand articulation” and “facilitating the creation, management, and integration of networks” activities have the most impact, respectively.

Considering the multitude of actors in the public sector and the wide scope of government interventions, the coordination of actors is an important challenge to achieve the goals. However, this concept still has theoretical and conceptual ambiguities, which in turn have challenged its realization. To address the coordination challenge, three important questions should be clarified: What is the coordination of public sector activists? Why there is a need for coordination between public sector activists? And how can it be achieved? In previous studies, different answers have been given to these questions. However, there is a lack of a comprehensive approach to coordination, which combines the findings of various studies. In this research, an attempt has been made to provide a comprehensive framework for thinking about coordination in the public sector using the meta-synthesis method. For this purpose, after several stages of screening, 51 final documents were selected from more than 1000 documents, and by analyzing them in MAXQDA software, what, why, and how the phenomenon of coordination of activists in the public sector was identified in the form of a total of 7 main categories. The answer to "what this phenomenon is" was put in the form of three main categories: «Ratio of Actions Together To Achieve Common Goal», «Coordination Is A Continuum, Not A Dichtonomy» and «Dimensions Of Coordination». The answer to why this phenomenon is needed was put in the form of three main categories: «Prior Necessities», «Posterior Necessities» and «Coordination Costs». Finally, the answer to how to achieve it was put in the main category of «Creating A Clear, Common, And Valid Basis For Action».

In recent years, the emphasis on community-oriented capacities as one of the important approaches to the resilience of societies in crisis conditions has attracted the attention of many experts and researchers.

Defined as the ability to comprehend and interpret non-material aspects of the human soul, spiritual perception plays a crucial role in both the well-being of tourists and the effectiveness of tourism marketing. Therefore, tourism can provide proper grounds for experiencing such a perception. Accordingly, this study sought to identify the factors involved in tourists' spiritual perception. To this end, the study applied a meta-synthesis approach, systematically reviewing previous studies. Moreover, to ensure the comprehensiveness of the factors and their compatibility with the Iranian cultural context, expert opinions were collected through the Delphi method using snowball sampling. The data collection at this phase continued until theoretical saturation was achieved. According to the findings of the study, six main categories were found to have been involved in tourists' spiritual perception, including "Quality of Interactions", "Environment", "Historical and Cultural Heritage of the Destination", "Tourist's Presuppositions", "Low-ritual Travel", and "Development of the Tourist's Spiritual Intelligence", encompassing 46 sub-categories. Accordingly, spiritual marketers can set their strategies by focusing on and enhancing the abovementioned factors. Given the lack of established theories on spiritual marketing in tourism and its practical application, this study provides a comprehensive framework for identifying, classifying, and interpreting the factors affecting spiritual perception in tourism, thereby offering valuable insights for both marketers and future research.

The presence of signs such as the lack of competence and ability of students to enter the labor market after 12 years of education, the ability to earn money, form an independent life, and even enter the university and continue their education shows the fundamental need for change in the country's schools. One of the approaches of empowering students is the entrepreneurial approach in the context of the entrepreneur school. In this regard, the current research seeks to present the entrepreneurial school model with a meta synthesis approach. The research is descriptive in terms of practical purpose, in terms of data collection and qualitative approach. This research was done using the meta synthesis method. The data collection tool is past research and library documents from 2010 to 2024, which includes 41 researches with a qualitative evaluation. The method of data analysis is content analysis. The findings of the research show that the predictors affecting the entrepreneurial school in 3 categories: student-related factors (personality traits, familiarity with entrepreneurship); factors related to teachers and managers (entrepreneurial attitude and behavior, entrepreneurial management, entrepreneurial knowledge, entrepreneurial experience); Factors related to the school (structure facilitating entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial strategy, entrepreneurial curriculum) are placed. Context or background factors in 4 categories: facilitating policies (support program, reward and encouragement system), providing resources (financial, physical and informational resources), market conditions (innovative environment, networking and globalization), entrepreneurial culture (entrepreneurial beliefs, entrepreneurial governance) and the consequences of the entrepreneurial school in 3 categories: the consequence for the student (increasing risk-taking, the ability to develop talents and skills, improving participation, independence and responsibility, profit entrepreneurship), the consequence for the school (targeting education, forming an entrepreneurial school), the consequence for society (entrepreneurship network dynamics, future-oriented economic development, social and economic empowerment).

Process innovation is a subset of innovation related to improving or reconfiguring production methods, workflows, or techniques. Process innovation aims to optimize the production or delivery method of existing goods or services. The importance of process innovation lies in its potential to simplify operations, reduce costs, minimize resource consumption, and improve productivity and quality. In agriculture, innovation catalyzes transformation, efficiency improvement, sustainability, and flexibility in production systems. Process innovation in sugarcane production and processing is vital to address the multifaceted challenges facing the industry, including market demand fluctuations, environmental degradation, and socio-economic inequalities. By embracing innovation, stakeholders can increase productivity, optimize resource use, reduce environmental impacts, and as a result, ensure the long-term sustainability and resilience of the sugarcane sector. In this regard, the present research was designed and carried out to explain the indigenous components of sugarcane production and processing with an emphasis on process innovations.

The research adopted Sandelowski and Barso's meta-composite qualitative approach. The process started with a systematic review of 405 primary articles and finally, 33 articles related to the research purpose were selected. The inclusion criterion was the publication in the field of sugarcane production and processing between 2010 and 2023. To validate the proposed model and increase acceptability, the fuzzy Delphi method with a panel of experts was used. The results were verified and reviewed by the experts.

The fuzzy Delphi resulted in deriving 57 key local indexes within four processes, i.e. planting, growing, harvesting, and processing. According to the results, it can be concluded that the integration of indigenous knowledge systems with modern innovations is important to enhance sustainability, flexibility, and learning in the sugarcane industry. In addition, joint efforts among the beneficiaries are needed to reinforce innovation, promote knowledge exchange, and develop comprehensive strategies to advance the sustainability and prosperity of the sugarcane sector.

Conclusion/ Implications: 

It can be inferred that innovation in the process of sugarcane production is too important to be ignored because it acts as a catalyst to enhance productivity, sustainability, and flexibility in the industry. Hence, it is suggested to create an interdisciplinary platform for cooperation and knowledge exchange to integrate indigenous knowledge systems with modern innovations in the process of sugarcane production. This way, communication among researchers, policymakers, industry players, and local communities is facilitated to create and implement innovative solutions proportional to specific fields and needs of sugarcane producers.
