In this article, the results of the examination of the policy entrepreneurs’ motivations through a combination of Delphi strategies and analytic hierarchy process are given. Research method of the study was descriptive-survey, and the selection of experts was done through judgmental sampling. Based on the Delphi findings, the participating experts deemed 21 motivations effective on the manifestation of entrepreneurial behaviors in the public policymaking arena in Iran. Moreover, according to the analytic hierarchy process results, spiritual, doctrinal, and ideological (i.e., sublime) motivations, professional motivations, and individual motivations have been effective on motivating policymaking entrepreneurs in the public policymaking arena. Furthermore, throughout the system, “the policy entrepreneurs’ perception of God as the only real source of power as well as the importance of conscience” has had the highest effect and “professional progression, promotion, and administrative power” and “excessive self-esteem” have the least effect on motivating the policy entrepreneurs.

One of the most important research topics in HRM field of study in recent decades, is the study of HRM-performance relationship. The importance of these studies is so much, as they imply both micro and macro implications of HR practices, encompass HRM influences on performance outcomes, and also the existence reason of HR practices and the nature of its practices. However, a body of researches have scientifically criticized/questioned the findings of aforementioned previous studies. These criticisms often comprise the methodological aspects of previous studies. Current study, in two phases, has been done by considering the importance of prementioned issue and the lack of a study in order to introduce and summarize those criticisms. First, we applied “mixed research synthesis” approach as one of the subsidiaries of meta-synthesis method. By studying and summarizing 40 valid critical papers in this field of study, we have presented and explained a five-dimensioned guiding map for introducing the criticisms on the HRM-performance researches. In order to assess research validity, CASP standard checklist was applied, and to determine the reliability, Cohenchr('39')s Kappa was used in SPSS software which was confirmed by resulting in 0/762.  In the second phase, the five dimensions, found in the former phase, were prioritized with AHP method.

Geotourism which is one of the tourism branches is economically profitable industry. Economic balance between the different areas, protection of natural heritage, preventing environmental degradation, creating job opportunities, improving the quality of cultural perspectives could be considered as positive consequences in the planning of this type of tourism. The purpose of this research is to investigate the geotourism potential of Rafsanjan County using remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS). In order to reach this purpose satellite image processing, along with field observations surveys and other sources of information such as reports, roads, soil and geology, and topography, maps were utilized. First the effective factors on geotourism were discriminated using study of different literatures and interview with experts. Then the data for these factors were prepared through satellite images, field data, topography and geology maps and their database were created at GIS. Finally the suitable value were assigned to each factors according to the questionnaire and the geotourism potential were determine through analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and weighted overlay model. The results revealed that the AHP and GIS have great efficiency in discriminating potential areas and Rafsanjan country contain relatively good potential for geotourism activities.

In this paper, results of the key factors affecting the hypocritical behavior of the Iranian state-owned companies and solutions based on Islamic texts, are presented by the analytic hierarchy process approach. Based on the findings, experts, 14 factors are effective in detection of hypocritical behaviors. Based on Analytical Hierarchy Process, individual factors compared to organizational factors have higher impact on detection of hypocritical behaviors in the organization. In addition, "high Machiavellianism" has the greatest impact and "Escape the law" and "Organizational silence" with each other, has the least impact on the incidence of such behavior in the organization. Solutions based on Quran verses and hadiths and Islamic texts that have been prioritized, are: the use of meritocracy-based selection and promotion system of human resources, Promoting a culture of criticism and avoiding ceremony and praise based on promote virtue and prevent vice, using appropriate performance appraisal system based on avoidance of unfair reward and punishment and anti-praise and the decisive and violent encounter with hypocrisy and flattery.

The efficient use of assessment system is highly beneficial to the improvement carried out in different academic process of universities. The performance assessment should be implemented with remarkable sensitivity due to the crucial role of job sensitivity that will be carried by the graduates from Imam Ali military university. Proposing and also designing a new model of performance assessment is of crucial significance due to the problems created by traditional models of performance assessment. In an attempt to propose a new model of performance assessment through utilizing 360 degree feedback, the precise indicators of performance assessment were explained and also identified at the early stage of investigation. Having identified the indicators and also adjusting it to statistical population, the indictors of performance assessment were emerged and then weighted as a result of administering a Likert questionnaire and also consulting with elites and experts. Thereupon, the weight and the significance of assessment resources were emerged as a result of paired test and AHP analysis. Moreover, fuzzy TOPSIS method was also run to rank the students of Imam Ali military university at the final stage of investigation. Greater exploitation of fuzzy data is due to the conceptual and intellectual inner nature of outcomes. Moreover, in terms of consistency of research purposes and statistical population, the study was conducted through utilizing purposive sampling method. In this study, the precise and the appropriate indicators of performance assessment were identified through proposing a comprehensive and multi-dimensional assessment system. The findings revealed that the indicators of performance assessment including identifying the student's strength and weaknesses precisely and academically, identifying the problems and the obstacles ahead of education system as well as providing assistance in developing appropriate curriculum planning, participating the students in assessment process which contribute to the enhancement of their motivation and also improving their performance and finally reducing the fuzzy uncertainty about judgments and outcomes.

This paper presents a combined Data envelopment analysis (DEA) – Principal component analysis (PCA) – Analytical hierarchy process (AHP) to achieve the efficiency scores and ranks of the insurance companies. Fourteen insurance companies with thirteen input and output variables have been considered for the purpose of this study. Since، the DEA model is sensitive to the number of variables in comparison to number of DMUs، to reduce data dimension، the PCA method is used. Obviously، the final ranks from PCA-DEA model is very subjective and only based on the pattern and distribution of data sets. Therefore، for incorporating the expert preferences، the AHP model is combined with two previous models and the final ranking is done by the integrated DEA-PCA-AHP and PCA-DEA model. The results of the proposed model indicates tht three companies Dana، Razi and Dey are top ranks.

Brand equity assessment serves as an important measurement of strategic value for internal use as well as for a number of external stakeholders. While there are a number of methods and models available for brand equity assessment، it is still uncertain which approach is best. Yet، almost no research exists that has empirically prioritized the existing brand equity methods from the perspective of different stakeholders. In this paper a model is developed for prioritizing brand equity methodologies from the viewpoint of customers as a stakeholder of brand equity. The criteria of this process are the expectations of customers including quality، reputation، and benefit according to Jones brand equity stakeholder model. The priority of these criteria sets via a structured questionnaire filled by customers. Then the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) incorporates to prioritize brand equity methodologies versus these criteria. The empirical findings of this study indicate that the more a method evaluates the benefit، the more it is relevant for measuring brand equity. Among brand equity methods evaluated in this study، Keller’s customer-based brand equity model gained the highest weight regarding taking benefit into consideration and was selected as the best method to evaluate brands from the customers’ perspective in finance industry. This study set out to prioritize the brand valuation pool to help practitioners and academics in assessing the alternative techniques and selecting the most relevant one for customers.
