Examining various dimensions of teachers’ social capital is considered a new topic; as is the idea of the school as a small unit of  society. This paper follows an approach to measuring social capital from the perspective of surveying the components of social capital among foreign language teachers. To this end, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach was adopted. It was assumed that teachers, to expand and consolidate their social capital, need to learn from the structure of professional-participatory development, and intellectual, research, and emotional support of each other in the context of schools. To collect data, a total of 143 foreign language teachers working in the Education department were selected. The tools were tested and confirmed in terms of validity (convergent and divergent) and reliability (Delwin-Goldstein & Cronbach's alpha). We used SmartPLS (V.4) and SPSS software to test the goodness of fit of the proposed structural model and the research hypotheses. Looking at the pattern output and path coefficients, it is estimated that participatory professional development and professional reflection have a direct role in building the social capital of language teachers, while expandable agency has a mediating role. Based on the results and in line with parallel studies, it is suggested that teachers' participation in developmental and collaborative activities (such as team training, joint research action, and visiting other classes and schools), along with an atmosphere of (knowledge, research and emotional) support should be included in the teacher training curriculum.

Part of people's daily life is online use of social networks. However, the use of these networks may go beyond a habit, leading to a habitual pattern of use that endangers one's well-being. This research has evaluated a theoretical model that four criteria of social capital, by mediating the variables, bonding (strong relationship) and bridging (weak relationship) social capital, in the role of habitual use of filtered online social networks in the context of street riots. look into it. This model was carried out using structural equations of partial least squares, which is modeled with targeted data collected in Iranian cities. The results of the research showed that interaction and confrontation is the most important driver for bonding and bridging social capital with online users. trust was statistically significant only for social capital connection. Unlike the bonding variable, bridging social capital does not have a significant relationship with the habitual behavior of using social networks. Shared values were not statistically significant for bridging and bonding social capital.

In the era of technological explosion and complexity of social relations in organizations, educational systems have the highest number of social interactions and require the development of social capital, especially in their management department. Developed and competent managers with social capital index standards are more successful in fulfilling their role. Therefore, the current research aims to investigate the structural role of social capital in the professional development model of managers using thematic analysis, interviews and document studies as data collection tools, with a statistical population of elementary school managers in Alborz province and a targeted sample of twelve people. The results of the research indicate the existence of the following components: individual competencies, interpersonal competencies, personality and motivational competencies, creative competencies, social competencies, and managerial competencies, which, in the field of social and managerial competencies, witness the greatest role of social capital, especially in the communication dimension.

This article was conducted with the aim of implementing sociological analysis of the social capital of football players and its impact on professional ethics. This study is applied-developmental in terms of purpose and survey-based cross-sectional in terms of data collection method. The community of participants of the qualitative part includes 35 prominent players of the country's premier league, who were selected using theoretical sampling. The sample size of the quantitative part was estimated by the effect size and power test method to be 155 people, and the sampling was done by the cluster-random method. A semi-structured interview and a researcher-made questionnaire were used to collect data. Data analysis was done, in the qualitative part, with the grounded theory method in Maxqda software, and in the quantitative part, with the importance-performance analysis method in SPSS software. The research findings indicated that empowering players, creating a culture in the club, monitoring the holding of official matches, and the Premier League are the causal factors that affect the social capital of football players. Social capital, by influencing professional ethics, ultimately leads to the growth and success of football in the country. Based on the analysis of the importance of performance, the constructs of "monitoring the holding of matches," "players' mental concerns," and "material problems and issues" are in the "weakness" area, and the distance between these constructs is significant.

Social capital, as a valuable type of intangible capital, has many individual and organizational benefits, while  its development requires various prerequisites. Therefore, in recent years, many studies have been conducted on this topic. In order to gain a more comprehensive knowledge in this regard, the present research has reviewed and classified the requirements and results of developing social capital. This applied research was conducted using a qualitative approach and meta-synthesis method. The data sources include related articles published in Iranian scientific databases in the selected period of time. These articles were selected based on the criteria of entering the meta-synthesis process, and the obtained data were analyzed by thematic analysis method. The identified requirements of developing social capital were classified as constructive beliefs and attitudes, effective interpersonal interactions, facilitative leadership, culture and ethics, and human capital management. In addition, its main results are: productivity and performance, excellence of human capital, attitudinal and behavioral outcomes, development of professional and organizational ethics, development of intangible capital, organizational capabilities, facilitation of knowledge management, innovation and entrepreneurship. Aggregating and integrating the findings of numerous research studies about social capital in the present research can achieve a relatively comprehensive understanding of its requirements and outcomes, and it can serve as a guide for the management of this valuable capital.

This research has been done with the aim of prioritizing and investigating the relationship between the social capital factors of the intellectual capital model of the Ministry of Defense. The method used in this research was quantitative in terms of the nature of data, applied in terms of objective and descriptive research in terms of data collection. In this research, the DEMATEL questionnaire tool was used to collect data and the DANP technique was used to prioritize the criteria. All steps are done using EXCEL software. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by experts. Inconsistency rate was used to measure the reliability of the questionnaire. Since the inconsistency rate of the F matrix is less than 0.1, as a result, the desired matrix, which originates from the opinions of experts, is reliable and can be continued. The statistical population of the research were experts and researchers who were familiar with the intellectual capital and the ruling strategies in the Ministry of Defense and the support of the armed forces, and finally 12 people were selected as members of the expert group. The number of 3 criteria and 18 subcriteria were weighted using DANP technique. The results of the research indicate the high importance of the relational element in social capital, and the elemental element and the structural element are respectively in the next priorities. The sub-criteria of trust and empathy, commitment and resilience are respectively the most important among the sub-criteria of the social capital model of the Ministry of Defense.

With the ever-increasing demand for blood resources worldwide, there is a great need to ensure a safe and adequate supply of blood products, and recruiting and retaining blood donors remains one of the primary challenges for blood transfusion agencies. The main objective of this research is to investigate the future development of blood donation culture in Iranian society, emphasizing the the role of social capital. This research is classified as applied in purpose and employs a mixed-methods approach. The statistical population comprises 10 experts of the blood transfusion organization. Purposive sampling method was used to select participants. Fuzzy Delphi and Micmac analysis were used for data analysis. The findings indicate that social capital is the most influential factor in blood donation. Moreover, among the various factors, philanthropy and public education were identified as the top priorities for effectiveness. The results obtained from the effects analysis showed that social capital had the largest direct and indirect effects. Philanthropy and public education also received the highest scores for direct and indirect dependence among other criteria. To address the impending shortage of blood donors in the coming decades, the blood transfusion organization must maintain the number of donors at a level commensurate with social needs by creating a culture and training that promotes voluntary donation.

Contrary to the importance of citizens' perception and attitude towards the government and its performance, and extensive studies in this field, few studies have dealt with the perception and negative attitude towards the public sector that are not related to the inefficiency of the government. The aim of the current research is to investigate the relationship between bureauphobia and social capital. The research has been conducted in terms of purpose, application and descriptive-correlation method. To conduct the research, the presence of bureauphobia phenomenon and the level of social capital were studied and investigated by surveying citizens through a questionnaire. Then, the relationship between these two variables was analyzed. The research population was all citizens aged 18 to 70 who had visited one of the public sector organizations at least once in the past year. A sample of these individuals was selected using the accessible method and the questionnaire was administered to them. Among these individuals, 412 people completed the research questionnaire, which is sufficient given the unlimited size of the population and based on Morgan's table. The data were analyzed by drawing a consensus table and using the Chi-square test. The results showed that mistrust of the government and public sector employees is not only related to the performance of public services, but also that 29.12 percent of the respondents are afraid of bureaucracy. Also, the results showed that 66.5% had weak social capital. Finally, the results indicated that there is a significant relationship between social capital and bureauphobia. Finally, it can be said that as national cohesion and trust decrease, the negative image that is not the result of the government's performance increases, which has implications for officials and those involved.

Social capital is a concept in sociology that has applications across various human sciences, including  economics, management, social sciences, and political sciences. It refers to relationships within and between groups. Social capital, or the spiritual dimension of a community, is a historical legacy that encourages individuals to "cooperate" and "participate" in social interactions, thereby enabling the community  to overcome its challenges  and progress toward growth and development in economic, political, cultural, and other domains. With the formation of the Islamic government under the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), the need to preserve Islamic capital and making informed decisions regarding it became particularly critical . Due to the fact that the enemies of Islam sought to undermine the government and reduce social capital by various soft and hard tactics, the Prophet (PBUH) implemented specific strategies. This article explores the actions of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) aimed at maintaining and enhancing the social capital of the nascent society of Sadr Islam in the face of hard and soft social injuries, utilizing a descriptive-analytical method, with an interpretive approach and a phenomenological view of Social issues.

Nearly three decades have passed since the activity of non-governmental organizations in Sardasht; associations formed based on economic, social, cultural and environmental needs.The present research analyzes the strategies of non-governmental organizations in the production of social capital and identifies their capital-generating and capital-depriving experiences with a qualitative approach and urban ethnography methodology, through the mediation and analysis of the activities of civil activists in non-governmental organizations. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data and thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. The research samples consisted of 34 civil activists in 31 non-governmental organizations in Sardasht. The number of samples were selected through theoretical saturation and the maximum diversity sampling method was also used. Based on the narrative of civil activists, despite the discontinuity in the institutional and social support, non-governmental organizations through strategies such as "sharing norms and values," "collective action," "social networking" and "social trust" have contributed to the production of social capital. In addition, the experiences of civil activists have been the carriers of capital-generating and capital-depriving experiences. Decapitalization experiences along with the production of limited and intra-group social capital have hindered the expansion of societal community and the expansion of social development and have perpetuated social fragmentation in Sardasht.

Considering the importance of the image of the future for understanding performance in social life, the purpose of this research is the image of the future; Conceptualization, design and validation of the questionnaire and its relationship with social capital (with an emphasis on youth). The first part of the current research is Mixed Method and an exploratory sequential design has been used. A qualitative study was conducted with thematic analysis approach and 15 people were selected by convenience and volunteer sampling method and data analysis was done using Braun & Clarke's method.  In the quantitative method, 331 people voluntarily participated and the validity and reliability of the data were validated using Spss and Smart-pls software. The findings showed that in the qualitative stage, the image of the future includes “positive perspective" and "negative perspective" and these findings were also confirmed in the quantitative stage. In the second part, 110 people participated voluntarily and the findings showed that there is a significant correlation between “positive perspective" and "negative perspective" with social capital at the level of 0.01. Considering the importance of the image of the future and its changeability and its positive role in social capital, the findings of this research have important implications for experts in the fields of future studies and officials related to general government policies in the field of appropriate action for young people.

The aim of the current research is to present a model of social capital pathology within the education system. A mixed- method approach, based on content analysis and structural equation modeling was utilized. In the qualitative research section, the statistical population comprised experts and professors in the field of education from Tabriz city, selected through purposive sampling. In the quantitative section, teachers and administrators were chosen based on the Cochran formula. Twelve semi-structured interviews were coded using ATLAS.ti software and analyzed through content analysis. A total of 384 researcher-designed questionnaires were distributed and completed.  Structural equation modeling analysis was conducted using the SmartPLSsoftware. The research results indicate that social capital components contribute to relational damages (dimensions, certainty in social awareness, social erosion, conformity in social relationships, certainty in social commitment, and social knowledge forecast), planning damages (organizational conflicts with collective capital, erosion of organizational principles, and decline of cognitive assets), institutional damages (underdevelopment of thoughts in environmental relationships, structural conflicts within the organization, erosion of social structure, susceptibility to behavioral abnormalities), and individual interactional components (cognitive-behavioral rigidity, lack of interest in collective participation, decline in trust and resilience, and mastery of behavioral abnormalities). The use of structural equation modeling demonstrated that the proposed relationships in the qualitative analysis were statistically confirmed, with factor loadings above 0.3 and t-statistics exceeding 1.96. Fit indices were also within acceptable ranges, affirming that the social capital pathology model in education is adequately fitted.

The armed forces of the country are required to observe the economy of resistance in order to prevent the economic sanctions of the enemy. The purpose of the current research is to develop a model to increase the combat power of the armed forces by implementing the components of resistance economy. The statistical population of the research is the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the first sample population consists of 20 experienced professors and experts in the field of defense and financial management in the faculty of Ajah military universities, and the second population is 227 retired military personnel with a military doctorate. to be In this research, library method is used to collect data, fuzzy Delphi questionnaire and rank analysis process are used to analyze them, and correlation and regression analysis and spss software are used to validate the final research model.

It was also found that economic culture, social capital and jihadi management have a positive and significant effect on the resistance economy and increasing the combat power of the armed forces. Therefore, establishing a resistance economy in the armed forces by benefiting from the obtained components will help to increase the combat power in the armed forces in the long term.

Social skills is an interdisciplinary topic that has been increasingly receiving the attention of experts in various fields of science, especially in the fields of management and economics, in recent years. Meanwhile, organizations such as higher education institutions can improve their effectiveness and efficiency through the creation, strengthening and expansion of these intangible but valuable capitals. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between social skills and the quality of educational services in higher education institutions. The research method is descriptive and correlational.. The statistical population of this research is all employees, professors and students of higher education institutions in Shahrekord city. The sampling method is stratified random, and the cluster sampling method was used to select among universities and higher education institutes, and the sample size is 320 people. The tool for collecting data and information includes two questionnaires for measuring social skills and the quality of educational services, the validity of which was determined by Cronbach's alpha method. In this research, the amount of social skills with its three dimensions, i.e. structural dimension, cognitive dimension and communication dimension are measured. and the relationship of each of these dimensions with the quality of educational services was investigated and analyzed through Pearson's correlation coefficient, to measure the level of social skills and intellectual capital through one-group t-test.

The expansion of social commerce with the rise of social media and its mass adoption has acted as a positive catalyst for impulse buying. Social media helps build positive branding and support impulse buying. The review of the research literature shows that in previous research on the determinants of impulse purchases, not much attention has been paid to the effect of the generation gap on impulse buying behavior. Cultural transformation is gradual and it is a reflection of transformation in constructive experiences that have been formed in different generations. With the succession of newer generations, the worldview, desires, needs and behaviors of the audience have changed in different generations. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the differences in attitudes of different generations, which are the basis of their different buying behaviors, and to form marketing activities according to them. Therefore, although nearly three decades have passed since the concept of impulse buying and the activity of researchers in this field have passed, and the research literature in this field has been enriched enough for a systematic review, but few researchers have reviewed the existing literature in this field have conducted impulse buying in the context of social commerce, and a few recent studies have tried to describe the current and future status of research on impulse buying behavior, focusing on the theoretical foundations and factors affecting impulse buying. So far, bibliographic research has not been done in Iran in order to comprehensively investigate this concept and the trend of global research in this field, and there is a research gap in this field. According to what was said, there are two main goals in this research. As the first goal, an attempt is made to identify and cluster the antecedents of impulse buying behavior in the context of social commerce by conducting a bibliometric analysis based on published scientific products, and the second goal is to bridge the gap between the two generations of Z and Y to be investigated in the antecedents of impulse buying behavior in the context of social commerce.

The current research was carried out with a multi-method approach and using bibliometric analysis and online survey. At first, according to the bibliometric analysis method, the publishing process of all scientific products indexed in the Scopus database from 1979 to 2022 in the field of impulse buying and social commerce was investigated, and the main subject clusters were identified as the antecedents of impulse buying behavior in the context of social commerce. Then, in order to conduct an online survey, the data obtained from 384 users of the Instagram page in the field of fashion, who were selected by available sampling method, were used. In order to measure the investigated components, standard questionnaires were used. The validity of this phase was checked through face and content validity, and the face and content validity of all questionnaires were confirmed by experts. In this phase, in order to analyze the data and to investigate the intergenerational gap in impulse buying behavior in the context of social commerce, an independent t-test has been used and to compare the average of all antecedents and impulse buying behavior in the context of social commerce between two generations Z and Y have been discussed. In this research, the PLS-MGA method was used to run the model in two Z and Y generations and to check the difference between the two groups.

Based on the results of the first study, only one article was published in 1979 in the field of "impulsive buying behavior" until the year 2000, when this topic has been gradually noticed by researchers, and the trend of publishing articles from 2011 to 2014 is an upward trend and then until In 2021, there was a downward trend and in 2022, there was an increasing trend again. Also, based on the analysis of the keywords of the reviewed articles, four main topic clusters were identified as the antecedents of impulse buying behavior, including social related features and para-social interaction, acceptance of social commerce and social capital. The results of the second study showed that there is a significant difference between all the antecedents and the level of impulse buying behavior in the context of social commerce between the two generations Z and Y, which indicates the existence of an intergenerational gap in the behavior of impulse buying in the context of social commerce. In general, the members of Generation Z are more involved in impulse buying behavior in the context of social commerce. Also, the results obtained from the PLS-MGA method showed that the difference in the impact of all the investigated antecedents on the impulse buying behavior in the context of social commerce between the two generations Z and Y is significant.

Marketing managers can create a culture to increase the desirability of instant purchases among the adult generation; establishing stable and transparent communication with the adult generation customers in order to increase their level of confidence and trust in impulse buying in social networks; Providing appropriate advertisements and trying to form a positive attitude towards impulse buying in audiences of different generations; identifying, understanding the style and way of life of customers from different generations in the target market; awareness of the interests and motivations of audiences of different generations; designing and creating advertisements according to the needs and demands of customers from different social classes and generations and choosing an appropriate advertising method that is compatible with the mentality of the audience.

Nowadays, with the inefficiency of traditional models of urban management, new models have shifted from a centralized approach to local management. In the meantime, social capital is very important as a background for people's participation and companionship in neighborhood management. The main purpose of this research is to investigate the role of the performance of management and the new neighborhood order in the new city of Fouladshahr. The research method is applied in terms of nature and analytical and the survey in terms of implementation, and a researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data. The statistical population of the research included residents of 18 years. The sample size of the research was determined through Cochran's formula of 384 people who were selected by cluster sampling method. The findings showed that the status of social capital indicators in Fouladshahr city is favorable from the point of view of the citizens. Also, there is a significant relationship between the indicators of contingent capital and the efficiency of neighborhood management,, and the variable of social trust and social awareness, respectively, have the greatest effect on the performance of neighborhood management. The results show that by Involving people in decision-making and decision-making and delegation of authority to neighborhood institutions, the optimal and sustainable management of urban neighborhoods will be realized.

The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating how the process of spin-offs contributes to the development of the social capital of university entrepreneurs. The current research is inductive, exploratory, and qualitative. The research method is Multiple case analysis. The selection of this particular number was the result of theoretical saturation during the coding and data analysis phase). In this connection, eight ventures of University spin-offs two to four years old, with Maximum variation in the key components of spin-offs, including entrepreneur, mother organization, and technology, were examined. Data were collected through 35 semi-structured interviews with an average time of 2 hours, including 22 interviews with entrepreneurs and 13 with managers and other incubator staff. Data analysis and interpretation werefinally done through Transcription of interviews, Interview codification and analysis with the help of the NVivo 2.0 software, Description file for each case, Analytical tables, Intra- and inter-case comparisons, and finally, Comparison with the literature. The result showed thatthe relationships, that three mechanisms of the Entrepreneur´s affiliation with the university, Entrepreneurs´ immersion in the university´s network of relationships, and creating a Preparation for creating venture capital for entrepreneurs will be effective in explaining the contribution of the spin-off process in the development of the social capital of university entrepreneurs. MechanismsMechanisms of Entrepreneur´s affiliation with the university causes; Entrepreneurs project credit, preferential access to specific contacts and resources. Immersion mechanism; Provide opportunities for meetings and entrepreneurs to develop their support network with the network of contacts and structure of the nearby university. Preparation mechanisms through creating meeting opportunities for entrepreneurs, mechanisms through creating meeting opportunities for entrepreneurs, and mediating between entrepreneurs and other contacts will develop social business and financial support skills that will lead to the development of business networks.

The main aim of this study was the structural modelling relationship of university social capital, university agility, organizational trust with employees' readiness for change with the mediating role of psychological capital at Shiraz University. The statistical population were all the employees of Shiraz University, who 124 people were selected as the research sample using systematic sampling method. The research tool included five questionnaires of social capital, university agility, organizational trust, psychological capital and readiness for change, which were distributed and collected after calculating validity and reliability. The research data were analyzed the statistical methods of one-sample t-test and multivariate regression. The findings showed that from the point of view of the employees, the state of social capital and employees' readiness for change was less than the desired level and higher than the cut-off point. The agility of the university and the organizational trust of the university were less than the desired level and the cut-off point. The psychological capital of the employees was higher than the desired level and the cut-off point. the structural equation showed: when the variables of social capital, university agility and organizational trust are entered into the structural equation modelling in interaction, social capital loses its direct and indirect predictive power. In addition, even though university agility and organizational trust in interaction with other research variables lose their direct predictive power for employees' readiness for change, but with the mediating role of psychological capital they have indirect predictive power for employees' readiness for change.
