For a long time, conventional humanities did not include religious and spiritual concepts in its domain. During the recent decades, the number of management research conducted in the field of religion, sprituality and ethics in the world has increased significantly, which indicates a change in some theoretical orientations of this field. In Iran, parallel to the international environment, the production of management works centered on religion and ethics has increased. The purpose of this article is to examine the religious and spiritual researches produced in the international domain in the field of management and its relationship with the research conducted in Iran. Is there a conceivable relationship between these two streams (conventional knowledge flow and native knowledge flow)? Why conventional management has given scientific and scientific status to religious and spiritual issues? This research has used qualitative survey methodology to answer its questions. The statistical population includes all research related to this issue. For sampling, the diversity in selection was observed. To analyze the data, the reasoning method and enumeration of all possible logical possibilities is used. For this purpose, by proposing hypotheses, it raises the possible possibilities of tendency toward religious management and the publication of works in the West, and by proposing arguments, it examines the relationship between two conventional currents and the indigenous current. The results show that the possibility of paradigm change, the need to solve society's problems, pluralism for survival, political possibility (religious confrontation), the awakening of nature, the use of tools and the acquisition of authority are among the reasons for the tendency to increase religious and spiritual works in the West. This increase in Iran is due to solving issues and problems, explaining Islamic management, political reason, fad and imitation. As well, it seems that the tendency towards spiritual works in the West is a tool to deal with the original religious trend and a return to the individual and secular religion of the Renaissance period, which has been manifested in a new form.

The popularity of gamification in business, in areas such as marketing, sales, human resources, and education is growing rapidly. Gamification has also attracted significant attention from academic researchers as an emerging study field. It is used as a new approach to reinforce desirable behaviors in employees, increase customer engagement with company products, and even change citizens' perceptions of their environment. Predictions indicate a growing trend of investment in this study field at both business and societal levels. Despite the undeniable advantages of gamification in businesses and its impact on individuals and societies, its implementation is accompanied by a wide range of challenges. There have been limited studies addressing its ethical aspects in Iran; therefore, the present study aims to identify and prioritize the ethical challenges of gamification in Iran to improve the design and application of gamification by understanding its dark aspects. 

To achieve the research objective, a sequential exploratory mixed-methods approach was employed. In the first stage, a qualitative approach was used, conducting 15 semi-structured interviews to identify and extract the ethical challenges of gamification. The qualitative data obtained from this stage were analyzed using thematic analysis. In the second stage, a quantitative approach, specifically Shannon's entropy method, was utilized to rank and prioritize the ethical challenges of gamification. The statistical population of this research consisted of academic experts, specialists, designers, and researchers active in the field of gamification, who were selected and invited to participate using a judgmental sampling method.   

The analysis of the interviews with experts revealed that the ethical challenges of gamification in Iran could be categorized into seven main categories and 45 indicators. The extracted categories, in order of priority, include negative mental and physical consequences, access-related challenges, security and privacy challenges, content-related challenges, challenges related to the quality and accuracy of information (information pollution), challenges related to intellectual property rights, and challenges of responsibility and accountability. 

A review of studies on gamification reveals that most research has focused on the benefits and positive outcomes of this emerging trend, with fewer studies addressing its ethical issues and negative aspects. This study identifies and prioritizes a set of ethical challenges of gamification to provide a holistic understanding of the darker aspects of implementing this novel approach within the cultural, social, and religious context of Iran. Given the increasing penetration of gamification in various aspects of business and society, the results of this research will assist developers of gamification programs and policymakers in this field. It will help them mitigate the negative consequences by providing comprehensive insights into the ethical challenges and dark sides of gamification at both the business and societal levels. Additionally, this research will help create a safer environment for participants in gamified programs. It will also offer users insights to reduce their vulnerability to these programs.

IntroductionGovernance is a term that lacks a precise and clear definition due to its broad scope and evolving nature. It can be broadly defined as the capacity to effectively manage a society through productive engagement with various sectors. For a public organization's governing body to fulfill its responsibilities effectively, it must possess and institutionalize the necessary capabilities within the organization. Given the significance of good governance in today's intricate societies and its substantial impact on organizational outcomes, it is crucial to have a governance framework capable of fulfilling its role competently. This framework should be able to establish the organization's objectives, vision, and trajectory, steer its subordinates towards achieving these objectives, and enact essential reforms through timely evaluations of goals and stakeholders' conduct. Failure to possess these essential capabilities and execute its role effectively will lead to program inefficiencies and the inability to attain set objectives, eventually resulting in discontent among stakeholders. Therefore, the objective of this research is to identify and categorize the essential governance capabilities required. The methodology involved literature reviews, surveys, and interviews with experts. Through qualitative content analysis, key capabilities for effective governance were delineated. The expert panel consisted of ten seasoned researchers and managers specializing in organizational management within an Iranian government entity. The research timeline spanned from 2020 to 2022, focusing on one of Iran's ministries.Methodology The thematic analysis in this research followed the Brown and Clark method, which involves three steps: analysing the interview texts and coding them, creating a network of themes, and extracting categories. For qualitative interviews in this study, the semi-structured interview method was chosen due to the subject's nature and the necessity of obtaining exploratory information while minimizing research bias. The interviews were conducted until theoretical saturation was achieved. To reach theoretical saturation, the researchers adopted a gradual approach to analysing the interviews. After each interview, the complete process of coding and thematic analysis was carried out, instead of analysing all interviews at once.Results and Discussion In general, it can be inferred that the governance level within government organizations must possess a range of capabilities to effectively manage their responsibilities. These capabilities encompass ethical considerations, systemic understanding, attention to complexities, and leadership skills within the governing team. The integration of all these capabilities is essential for ensuring effective governance. Ethical governance entails key characteristics that define the individuals involved in governance. These characteristics, identified through literature review and interviews, include commitment, determination, openness, critical thinking, honesty, and accountability. Organizational structures should be designed to promote these characteristics as standard behaviours, minimizing the likelihood of breaches. Systemic governance involves capabilities linked to managers' awareness of the organization's systemic aspects and insights derived from human experience. Neglecting these capabilities can lead to systemic issues and eventual failure. Subcategories within this domain encompass foresight, holistic thinking, attention to complexities, and creativity. Competent governance behaviour encompasses leadership and managerial skills necessary for guiding subordinates towards goal attainment and creating a conducive environment for their success. This category includes subcategories such as organization and leadership, policy formulation, fostering a conducive culture, creating opportunities, and facilitating processes. Each of these categories comprises four dimensions, identifying a total of 59 minor capabilities essential for effective governance.Conclusion This study has comprehensively identified governance capabilities ranging from overarching dimensions to minute routine behaviours, a level of detail not previously explored in existing research. The findings of this research not only contribute valuable insights to the existing literature on governance capabilities but also offer practical policy recommendations for policymakers and managers to enhance governance capabilities within their organizations.

Nowadays, in order to understand the behavior of consumers and producers, companies seek to create solutions to optimize their products in line with the environment, which shows the precise planning of green products in industries. In terms of method, this research is exploratory based on a mixed approach and in terms of purpose, it is practical. The data of the qualitative phase of the research was collected using semi-structured interviews with 17 experts, including business management professors and clothing industry activists who were selected in a purposeful way, and were analyzed with MAXQDA 2020 software, adopting a grounded-theory approach. The data in the quantitative stage were also analyzed using a questionnaire collected through non-probability sampling strategy among 374 customers of the garment industry, using SPSS 27 and SmartPLS3 software, informed by the partial least squares approach in structural equation modeling. The results of the present research led to the identification of six categories of strategies (government policy making, empowering the business environment), intervening factors (social relations, government policies), consequences (sustainable development in the country, increasing the strength and power of sellers and producers, improving the quality and quantity level of customers), background factors (individual and environmental factors), causal factors (internal and external factors), and consumer ethical decision-making (supporting national production, ethical decision-making approaches, avoiding extravagance and luxury, applied environmental ethics). These findings were also confirmed in the quantitative phase. It is necessary that all social units in the country, from the individual level to the government, focus on the need for green ethical decision-making so that this issue is reflected in consumers and producers.

This study was conducted to identify a model for designing a model to remove obstacles and executive mechanisms for implementing servant leadership in the Health Insurance Organization. The present research has been exploratory and qualitative. The content analysis method has been used to identify server leadership mechanisms. The statistical population of the study includes employees of different levels of the Health Insurance Organization that 12 people were selected based on theoretical saturation through the purposive non-random sampling method. Library methods and semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. The data analysis method was theoretical coding derived from servant leadership theories using MAxqda software. The results obtained from data analysis show that the components of humility, service, trustworthiness, interaction with employees, and collection and ethics are the most important barriers to implementation and executive mechanisms of health insurance service leadership, respectively. Using MAxqda software, the indicators desired by the experts are prioritized. Accordingly, the most important and effective barriers to the implementation of servant leadership are "inappropriate structure", "moral barriers", "centralism and self-centeredness" and "subordinate conditions", respectively. The components of ethics, cooperation, communication, planning, and scientism are among the main mechanisms of servant leadership in the first to fifth priority, respectively.

There are some observations indicate examples of misconduct in academic environments, such as credentialism, academic plagiarism, and parasitic behaviors in joint activities. Academics cannot actualize academic ethics as they should, carrying out social responsibilities has become controversial and the social impacts of academics in reducing human bitterness, human hardships and sufferings have been doubted. These have been the result of the distortion of academic autonomy and freedom and ultimately academic ethics. The university has been a colonial territory of the government. To investigate this issue, three ethical logics are the main basis of the present study; a. ethics of result and benefit, b. ethics of duty and responsibility; and c. virtue ethics. Academic ethics has been compared based on the three mentioned logics. Then, the author has discussed referring to two academic philosophies, that is, the philosophy of Immanuel Kant and the philosophy of Max Weber. The finding of the study was that in the absence of academic autonomy and freedom, the whole academic ethics goes to waste. If there is no academic autonomy and freedom, not only the academic ethics, but also the existential philosophy of science, scientific teaching and learning and science operation are distorted, the nature of science, the structural and functional requirements of science are damaged, and science basically loses its objectivity. In this study, five categories of academics were observed and typologized: 1. academic emigrates, 2. academic cryptographers, 3. academic pragmatists, 4. academic staff and 5. academic intellectuals. The best situation of academic ethics is possible in the fifth type, which is an optimal combination of ethics of results, ethics of responsibility and ethics of virtue.

This research was conducted with the aim of providing a model for promoting ethical leadership in the management of the Ministry of Education. 

The purpose of this research is development-applied type of mixed studies (qualitative-quantitative) in which thematic analysis method was used in the qualitative part to identify the dimensions, components and factors, and in the quantitative part descriptive -survey method was used. The statistical population in the qualitative section included university faculty members in the fields of educational management, as well as senior managers in the Ministry of Education, which reached theoretical saturation with 14 interviews.

In an Islamic society, an organization must maintain and evaluate the performance of employees and organizational performance under the guidance of Islamic teachings. Although studies in this field have been conducted in recent years, research trends are not clear due to the short time of introduction and development of this technology, in addition, knowledge synthesis has not been done to conclude about the evolutionary nature of this issue and develop its theories. This study used the paradigm funnel method to fill this gap and investigate the research. For this purpose, 105 articles from 2000 to 2021 were reviewed and after selecting the articles, 94 articles were identified and classified. The findings indicate the focus of articles on the level of specific theories and the lack of articles in the field of ontology and basic hypotheses. This study will help researchers to better understand the research process, familiarity with the concepts and components and identify the existing research gap. Work ethic in Islam is the expectations of a person's relationship to his behavior at work. This includes his responsibility, cooperation, commitment, sacrifice, creativity and social relationships. Islamic work ethic (IWE) is an important concept that affects the work pattern of employees in organizations because it requires the introduction of Islamic principles in the behavior and performance of employees.

The purpose of the current research is to identify the areas of ethical governance of professors in the classroom and present a model.

The meta-composite research method was used for the study. The field of research includes all articles published domestically during the years 1385-1400 in relation to the ethical considerations of professors in the classroom and the purposeful sampling method to the point of theoretical saturation. The study of articles continued until sufficient data was obtained. Therefore, in the end, 37 articles were selected to the extent of data sufficiency. The method of data analysis was done in the form of open concepts, central category and nuclear category. The result of the inductive and combined content analysis of the categories and the results and combinations was the extraction of a pattern related to the dimensions of the teachers' moral governance in the classroom.

The dimensions of the teachers' moral governance in the classroom which include six areas (religion, dignity, agency, attraction, practical obligation, and nature) was established.

Governing the ethical behavior of professors requires paying attention to the expectations of students in the way of dealing with them, as well as paying attention to the demands that higher education has on the professors for the purpose of educational quality, and they must morally try to improve it.

In Imam Khomeini's system of thought, morality and spirituality have the highest place. At the peak of his intellectual system in various fields are moral and spiritual issues. Accordingly, on the eve of the fortieth anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, in order to achieve Islamic civilization, the Supreme Leader issued a statement on the second step of the Islamic Revolution, which is a big picture of the past, present and future of the Islamic Revolution; One of the important recommendations is spirituality and ethics, which according to studies, is the basis of jihadi management. For this reason, the main purpose of this study is to explain the jihadi management of Shahid Shoushtari in the southeast of the country by emphasizing spirituality and ethics based on the second step statement. This research is of applied, developmental type and its method is historical and analytical. The statistical sample size of the research is 74 people. The method of data collection is field and library, which is done by in-depth analysis of theoretical foundations and then in the form of a questionnaire using a mixed approach to standardization and localization of these factors based on the second step statement. Based on the results of the research, 24 effective and role-creating factors in the direction of jihadi management with emphasis on spirituality and ethics were counted.

The emergence of ethical behaviors of managers and employees in the organization leads to an increase in social capital in the organization. In general, observing ethics in the organization improves the credibility and personality of the organization and leaves a proper image of the organization in society. Therefore, in the present study, an attempt has been made to refer to the texts of Nahj al-Balaghah and Gharr al-Hakam and Dar al-Kalam to obtain ethical themes in the process of human resource management. Therefore, by referring to these books, 448 initial codes and finally 9 comprehensive ethical themes were obtained by content analysis method. These pervasive moral themes, whose reliability and validity came from, include 'monotheistic approach', 'monitoring the basis of rights and justice', 'service spirit', 'moral modeling of each other', 'non -judgment and preservation of others', 'goodness.' And avoiding the ugliness, 'trying to self -improvement,' preserving the property and the organization 'and' meritocracy '. Thereafter, each of the pervasive moral themes in human resource management processes was examined. In fact, each of the pervasive moral themes is the moral manifestation of Imam Ali (PBUH) and is manifest in these processes. In general, these pervasive moral themes can be considered as measures for morality or immorality of any of these processes.

Due to the special importance of ethical behavior in human resource management in organizations in this study, the ethical hypocrisy of human resources has been investigated. Moral hypocrisy is a behavior in which the conscious and purposeful person acts deceptively. Human resources use projection technique in qualitative research and identify its driving factors.

The philosophy of this research is interpretive, its approach is qualitative and through individual interview and Kanoon group with projection technique in three sections of questions, word association and image capture. The statistical population in the field of financial services has been used until theoretical saturation. They were selected from targeted sampling. Data analysis was performed through open and centralized and selective coding processes with the help of MAXQDA quality analysis software. Also, four criteria of credibility, transferability, reliability and verifiability were used to investigate the strength of the research.

The Analysis of the coding process led to the emergence of the final model of research on the pivotal category, entitled "Ethical Hypocrisy of human resources". This model includes components in both individual and organizational dimensions, drivers in 8 dimensions of personality factors, organizational factors, and success. It refers to ambition, financial factors, power-seeking, environmental factors, cultural factors, and appointments.

This study provides the necessary ground for recognizing the constituent dimensions of human resources' moral hypocrisy, including individual and organizational components in both organizational and extra-organizational dimensions, as well as influential factors in the field of moral hypocrisy.
