This research has been done with regard to the field of enablers in order to develop a self-assessment model based on the general common assessment framework (CAF). This study was developmental and applied in terms of results, descriptive in terms of purpose, and mixed-method in terms of data collection and analysis. The statistical population of the study included the faculty members of the management departments of Payame Noor University in the three provinces of Guilan, Mazandaran, and Golestan in Iran, who formed the expert community of this research. After library research, the interview method was used to collect data, and then the confirmatory factor analysis method as well as Shannon entropy and Demetel technique were used to analyze the quantitative data.Based on the findings, the CAF self-assessment model in the field of enablers was developed with the three variables of social responsibility, social capital, and professional ethics. Moreover, the ranking of enablers was done using Shannon entropy method. These included leadership, strategy, processes, employees, social responsibility, professional ethics, partnerships, resources, and social capital. The ranking results and the weight of enablers were used to determine their score in the developed model. Relationships between enablers were also obtained using the Dematel technique. Dematel technique results showed that leadership, strategy, resources and partners, processes, social responsibility and professional ethics enablers are the core and key enablers and should be prioritized in the CAF model developed for the Payame-Noor University.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of emotional intelligence and social capital on students' academic satisfaction at University of Mohaghegh Ardabili. This research was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive in terms of implementation method. The data collection tool was a standard questionnaire. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to assess the validity of the questionnaire and Cronbach's alpha was used to evaluate its reliability. The statistical population of the present study was comprised of 2674 graduate students of the University of Mohaghegh Ardabili (2018-2019). A sample of 336 students was selected through convenience sampling to answer the questionnaire. To test the research hypotheses, the structural equation modelling was applied using LISREL 8.58 software. Findings indicate the effect of emotional intelligence and social capital on students' academic satisfaction. The results also confirmed the mediating role of social capital.

The lack of social capital in the judiciary system means the citizens' distrust of the justice of that institution and, consequently, the lack of public cooperation with its officials and agents. The increase in the number of crimes and their repetition and the violations of laws indicate a decrease in the social capital of the judiciary within a society. The present article seeks to logically analyze the related documents and use the previous research to examine the dimensions of the efficient model of police-prosecution office relations in order to find solutions to increase the judiciary social capital. This article concludes that the restoration of the judicial police helps increase the social capital. We suggest that attention might be paid to the improvement of the law enforcement organization's relationship with prosecutor’s office in the form of network communication in the process of judicial reform. It is also recommended that the prosecutor’s office employ the capacities of the network communication model in its relationship with its related judicial police and show more flexibility in the hierarchical model.

According to Bourdieu, symbolic capital is the key to influence hearts and instill legitimacy and acceptance for a manager so that others obey him/her. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to design a symbolic capital model of leaders in the Iranian cultural organizations through structural-interpretive modeling (ISM). Therefore, 10 factors of the symbolic capital reproduction were collected through documentary and library research and based on the capital conversion approach. Then, by obtaining the opinion of academic experts and cultural managers, these components were confirmed and corrected, and based on the opinion of the managers of the studied organization and through the structural-interpretive modeling, the final model was created at six levels. The results showed that the most important factor for the formation of symbolic capital in the leaders of cultural organizations is their competencies. The next levels included their output and attainment of organizational honors. If these are combined with advertisement and personal branding, they can set the ground for the achievement of tangible and intangible assets, creation of social capital (trust, support), and attainment of reputation as the products of symbolic capital for the leader. Finally, based on MICMAC analysis, the components of the model were located in the quadratic matrix in terms of penetration and dependence.

The purpose of this study was to identify and prioritize the components of social capital in the Iranian national handball team. This study was applied in terms of purpose, and it used mixed-method research to collect data. The statistical population of the qualitative phase of the study consisted of sport management professors (who were familiar with the concepts of social capital) and some players, coaches, and managers of Iranian Handball Premier League clubs. The snowball sampling was adopted and continued until theoretical saturation (12 interviews with 11 people) was achieved. The statistical population of the quantitative part of the present study consisted of adult Iranian handball national team players (men), technical staff, and managers of the Iranian Handball Premier League clubs, out of which a sample was selected through purposive sampling method (n = 21). The data collection tool was a questionnaire extracted from the qualitative phase that was designed according to the TOPSIS method. The questionnaire generally identified five components of social capital, including social norms, social cohesion, social support, social trust, and social relations. The results showed that the components of social relations, social support, social cohesion, social trust and social norms are the most important components of social capital in the Iranian national handball team, respectively. Therefore, the consideration of these components in the order of their importance can improve the quality of the Iranian national handball team, resulting in better performance outcomes and improved and satisfactory interactions with capitals such as fans and other groups related to the Iranian national handball team.

Social capital has different definitions, but regardless of the differences, one of the main axes of this concept regards connections and network/group relations. Accordingly, the activism of individuals or governments in social relations has a direct effect on reducing or increasing social capital. Since the Prophetic government is a suitable model for Islamic governments, strategies for increasing the social capital of Islamic societies can be obtained by examining his governmental actions. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to discover the principles and strategies for increasing social capital based on the conduct of the Prophet (PBUH). In this article, a descriptive exploratory approach and document content analysis method are used to extract his method in improving social relations and forming an Islamic society. Then the effect of that action or principle on the quality of social relations is examined. Creating a united Islamic nation based on brotherhood, expanding justice and combating discrimination, protecting the rights of minorities, expanding the concept of society, and determining the standard of citizenship are among the practical principles derived from the conduct of the Prophet (PBUH) in reforming social relations and creating a proper social structure. These principles have increased the social capital of Muslims.

Considering the fundamental role of values ​​as one of the dimensions of social-capital, the undeniable effect of shared-values ​​on social-capital, and the importance of networks and social norms in it, the purpose of this study is to answer these questions: “What are the values ​​that influencers most commonly disseminate in their target communities using their high social-capital?”, “Which values ​​are most desirable in their target communities?” and “Have they been successful in developing shared-values with their audience?” We also examined the role of context in value system prioritization. This research was conducted in the context of Instagram social network. The sample consisted of 240 Instagram posts that were extracted by non-probability purposive sampling method. First, eight influencers with the highest social-capital were selected, their posts during 3 years were reviewed, and their top 10 posts each year (in terms of desirability for the audience, determined based on the Likes) were selected. This field-based research is qualitative in terms of data type, exploratory in terms of certainty, and applied in terms of findings. It is unique in social-capital studies as it focuses on values ​​as one of the dimensions of social capital and examines the shared-values ​​that play a key role in increasing social-capital. It has also achieved valuable and practical results about the most common values that domestic and foreign influencers with the most social-capital have disseminated, as well as the priority of desirable values in these societies. It has also found that influencers have largely failed to develop shared-values with their target communities. Finally, it has been shown that the value system is different in different societies.
