Law and legality is one of the main foundations of stability in human societies, which increases in importance every day with the increase of urbanization. Many institutions now have the task of legislating individuals in the community, one of which is the police force. The police are trying to do this with precautionary, preventive and countermeasures. The main purpose of this study is to determine the impact of police management factors on strengthening the rule of law among the youth of Kermanshah.

This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-survey in terms of method. The statistical population of the research was 151-25 years old in Kermanshah in 1997 with 179015 people who using Cochran's formula 300 people formed the research sample size, of which 115 correct questionnaires were included in the data analysis. The data collection tool is a researcher-made questionnaire. The validity of the instrument was confirmed by experts and the reliability of the instrument was calculated by calculating the Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.96. Regression and Friedman tests were used to analyze and rank the data.

Findings obtained from inferential tests indicate that factors such as: compliance, cohesion, justice and participation in police management have an effect on strengthening the rule of law among the youth of Kermanshah. Among these, participation is in the first place and adaptation, cohesion and justice are in the second to fourth places, respectively.

Based on the ranking of 25 items of the questionnaire, the items of police use of mass media capacity, sincere relations between police and people based on religious teachings and police participation with non-governmental and governmental organizations had the greatest impact on the legitimacy of Kermanshah youth.

Several theoretical foundations and models have been developed and proposed in order to explain marketing capabilities and their link to competitive advantage and business performance over the past years. However, review of the research literature has revealed theoretical gaps regarding building and developing marketing capabilities, the integrative relationship between supply chain and marketing capabilities, types of items that affect the link between marketing capabilities and competitive advantage, as well as the dimensions and characteristics of sustainability of competitive advantages and business performance. On the other hand, the evidence and experiences related to the low rate of competitiveness of the country’s businesses in the global market have led to discovery and confirmation on how businesses can improve their marketing capabilities as the most important motivation in the present study which can help them achieve a sustainable competitive advantage. A few studies have investigated creating, maintaining, and developing marketing capabilities in a way that is integrate into the enterprise supply chain which leads to promotion of the characteristics of marketing resources, and ultimately to sustainable competitive advantage and superior business performance. Therefore, the present study aimed to develop an integrated conceptual model based on integrity in order to develop marketing capabilities as well as to achieve sustainable competitive advantage and superior business performance.
 Methodology

The mixed method considering qualitative-quantitative types (exploratory-confirmatory) was used in the present study. For this purpose, the initial research model was conceptualized using the thematic analysis of the data collected through in-depth and semi-structured interviews, focus groups as well as a comprehensive review of the literature in the qualitative stage. Then, the primary conceptual model was evaluated within the framework of structural equations - partial least squares - using the latest version of Smart PLS software in the quantitative step, using the data collected through a questionnaire and also the secondary data collected related to the performance of the studied companies from the Codal system of the Tehran Stock Exchange. And the final conceptual model of the research was extracted through combined analysis of the findings in the qualitative and quantitative stages. In the qualitative stage, in-depth interviews with 20 people and semi-structured interviews with 10 senior, middle and expert managers, as well as 4 focus groups consisting of 6 members in one of the largest Steel Industries in the country have been planned and implemented. In the quantitative stage, the statistical population of the study included 842 managers and experts of Iranian steel industry companies that have been accepted in the Tehran Stock Exchange. In the end, 350 individuals were selected as the statistical samples.

The research findings confirmed that in order to create, maintain and develop marketing capabilities and other related organizational capabilities, businesses require the development of the internal integrity. The internal integrity of businesses can lead to the development of business intelligence, continuous organizational learning and knowledge management, which in turn lead to the development of those items, marketing capabilities, supply chain integration, upgrading of marketing resource attributes, sustainable competitive advantage and performance. In addition, the integrity of supply chain partners and the integrity of state sectors can moderate the relationship between marketing capabilities, sustainable competitive advantage, and business performance. Moreover, 1) the reliability of indices including: factor loads of indices, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, and integrated reliability, 2) convergent validity including average variance extracted (AVE) coefficients of the constructs, and 3) divergent validity including cross-loadings, Fornell-Larker Criterion and Heterotrait-Monotrait Ratio HTMT index have been measured and evaluated. The results of Cronbach’s alpha indicates that the obtained Cronbach’s alpha values ​​for all the variables are higher than 0.7, which shows a good fit for the measurement model in this regard. The highest Cronbach's alpha coefficient is related to the marketing capabilities (0.96) and the lowest Cronbach's alpha coefficient belonged to the product management (0.72). In addition, the highest combined reliability index was obtained as 0.97 which also shows a desirable situation for the marketing capabilities and the lowest value is related to product management capability with 0.83. The AVE index of constructs was used to measure the convergent validity of the measurement model. The outputs of Smart P.L.S software shows that the measured AVE values were above 0.5​​ for all the first-order constructs. However, the AVE index was calculated manually for higher-order constructs, where the results also confirmed that the AVE value was higher than 0.5 for all second-order constructs; it indicates the optimal convergent validity of the measurement model. In order to evaluate the divergent validity of the model, cross-loadings, Fornell-Larker matrix, as well as HTMT index were used. Evaluation and analysis of the measurement model and the structural model using the data which were collected in the quantitative stage of the research indicated that the conceptual model which was developed based on the results of the qualitative stage has been approved using the data collected in the quantitative stage.

According to the conceptual framework in the present study, businesses in the Iranian Steel Industry should improve the business intelligence and knowledge management in order to develop marketing capabilities. Moreover, Iranian Steel Industry firms need to improve the level of continuous organizational learning in order for the business intelligence and knowledge management capabilities of the firm to have the greatest impact on the creation and development of marketing capabilities. Continuous organizational learning acts as a facilitator which accelerates the relationship between business intelligence capabilities and knowledge management with marketing capabilities which helps strengthen this relationship. The proposed conceptual framework in the present study also suggests that Iranian Steel Industry enterprises are able to create, internalize and develop business intelligence capabilities, continuous organizational learning and knowledge management provided that they can develop internal integrity. When business leaders and systems develop internal integrity, they provide the necessary opportunities and capacities for maximum efficiency and minimum vulnerability, and thus for the creation and development of the proposed capabilities. To this end, it also suggests the basic indicators that businesses need to promote internal integrity (business leaders and systems).

This paper examines attitudes towards police ethics and integrity using the responses of police officers and support staff to some ethical dilemmas via an online questionnaire. The aim of the study was to explore potential connections between respondents’ beliefs about the seriousness or type of misdemeanour and their likelihood of reporting the behaviour. Using a series of scenarios, we explore professional ethics and integrity by analysing the evidence from our survey of around 1,500 police officers, police community support officers (PCSOs) and police support staff. Throughout, we aim to show which of the scenarios were considered the most ‘serious’, which are more likely to be reported, and offer some suggestions as to why the ‘blue code’ is significant. The findings suggest the persistence of a reluctance to report some misdemeanours; of the 10 scenarios created for the survey, there was a great deal of certainty around the reporting theft of cash, but respondents were less likely to report a colleague keeping a ‘found’ watch. Accessing the Police National Computer without due authority was seen as relatively ‘serious’ and covering up for a drink-driving colleague and use of excessive force were both likely to be reported. We discovered ambiguities in responses around sexual touching of a colleague in an office setting, but a lower level of concern regarding an officer who forms a romantic relationship with a victim of crime who he met in a professional setting. Respondents expressed distrust in the force’s anonymous messenger system, set up for reporting a colleague’s behaviour without revealing their own identity and said they could treat a whistle-blower with respect or caution, depending on the circumstances of the individual case.

Corruption has always been recognized as one of the most important barriers to development at the national and local levels; considering the importance of the role of cities in sustainable development, the study of corruption in municipalities is very important; The purpose of this paper is to identify the individual factors affecting corruption in the municipality of Tehran in order to find suitable solutions to address the root causes of corruption at the individual level. To carry out this research, initially based on literature review and research background, the conceptual model of the causes of corruption tendency was identified at the individual level, which was measured in a questionnaire designed for this purpose. The model was then tested using exploratory factor analysis and linear regression. The results of factor analysis showed that, at the individual level, "Material need", "Non-adherence to religion", "Non-adherence to morality", "Injustice", "Inappropriate socialization", "The amount of communication with the client" And " Risk taking" are the main factors in the tendency to corruption at the individual level in the municipality of Tehran, which in total 81% of the variability explains the tendency to corruption in Tehran municipality. All of which have been meaningful given the results of regression

Public Trust in Public Administration Based on the Teachings of Letter of 25 Nahj al-Balagha Trust as a concept reflects the perceived validity, competence, legitimacy, and integrity of a person, organization, or entity (Lewellyn & Brookes, 2013, p.19. Hardin (2004). Trust as a matter of knowledge and belief). Morono et al. (2009) believe that trust is an expectation, which forms the core of most definitions of trust (OECD, 2017, p.37).

The purpose of this article is to develop a causal model for corruption in Tehran Municipality as a base theory for anti-corruption policies in this agency. In order to implement this research, variables causing corruption in Tehran Municipality were identified by examining the background and relevant literature review. Following that, using exploratory factor analysis method, the extracted factors (personal and organizational) were identified in 52 organizations affiliated to the municipality and/by applying structural equation modeling, based on PLS method, the relationship and the effect level of each factor on the employees' willingness to corruption were investigated. Results show that at individual level, internal factors including ‘non-adherence to religion’, ‘non-adherence to ethics’ and ‘risk aversion’, as well as external or conditional factors including ‘economic status’, ‘perceiving inequity’, ‘inappropriate socialization" and ‘frequent communication with clients’ play a role in tendency towards corruption. At the organizational level, preventive factors such as ‘providing information and anti-corruption culture’, ‘appropriateness of supervisory mechanisms and anti-corruption measures’ and ‘transparency and accountability’ have an impact. Finally, factors which increase effectiveness including ‘unsustainable income’, ‘use of information technology’, ‘quality of 
decisions’, ‘quality of enforcing laws and regulations’ and ‘meritocracy’ all can determine the emergence of corruption in the Municipality of Tehran.

Social capital is a good platform to increase productivity of other assets and as a way to achieve success. Along with the development of the this concept of capital, its measurement and assays were also wide attention. Given the lack of data on social capital, in this study, measurement of social capital in the provinces ranged between 1392-1385 have been considered. According to Putnam and Coleman's approach to measure this concept, three levels of partnership, trust and integrity have been considered. In order to combine the indicators used in this study, factor analysis was used. The results showed that Zanjan province has highest level of social capital and the Tehran and Ilam province have the lowest level of social capital in the period under study. In the nation scale, can be a fairly steady trend observed in the country's social capital. Given the role of this type of capital in the take and use advantage of other capital potential in the country is suggested by using the results of studies such recent study, planning and policy in order to increase the country's level of social capital as an excellent target consider.

Marketing capabilities are integrated and coherent processes designed to apply collective skills, knowledge and resources of the company, which identify the needs of the market and improve the value of the company's goods and services. The company, with the help of these capabilities, is able to adapt itself to changing market conditions. And use market opportunities to deal with competitive threats.
The purpose of this research is to identify and prioritize the factors influencing dynamic marketing capability. For this purpose, a sample of 384 managers and experts of Iran Insurance Company is selected using randomly classified sampling. The method used in this research to prioritize criteria is the AHP hierarchical analysis method. Research findings show that components, feelings and perceptions, learning, re-configuring, synchronization and integration have a dynamic effect on dynamic ability, and the criterion of sensation and perception with relative weight of 0.362 is the most influential element in dynamic ability and the component of learning with relative weight 0.227 is in the next priority. Also, the reconfiguration element with a relative weight of 0.218 in the third priority is an integral element with a relative weight of 0.117 in the fourth priority and an element of coordination with a weight of 0.076 in priority fifth.

Reduction of staffs’ trust prevents them sharing their experience and knowledge to solve the issues in an organization and sharing their ideas to have desirable organizational changes. Thus, this research aimed at investigating the relationship between the employees’ trust in managers and organizational silence. Indeed, in this research the effect of employees’ perception of managers’ character that according to Mayer et al, (1995) including: ability, benevolence and integrity, were studied on defensive and acquiescence silence. To cover this aim, the selected sample included 282 employees of central branch of National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company (N.I.O.P.D.C) and the required data was gathered by a questionnaire and analyzed by Structural Equations Methods.
Our study showed that increasing the trust of employees in managers reduces the organizational silence of staff. In addition, if the trust in managers increase, the defensive silence reduces, while acquiescence silence increases. According to the results, managers can improve their recognition of the silence environment in organizations which can lead to the change in behavior and increasing trust in managers resulting in not only creating positive employee's perception of managers’ character but also, the willingness to share knowledge, experience and information. Finally, this can increase organizational performance.
