The purpose of the present study was applied and it could be considered a qualitative research with a basic theory in terms of implementation. The statistical population of the study included 16 university experts in Ahvaz in 1399 who were selected by purposive sampling. The sample size was also based on the principle of theoretical saturation. Criteria for selecting experts in the research included membership in a public and non-governmental university, being in a field of study related to management (public administration, , educational management and planning management), having relevant writings, and a willingness to participate in interviews. The research tool was semi-structured interviews and the validity of the findings was based on face validity and for reliability the coding agreement coefficient method was used which resulted in re-coding of 3 interviews with a value of 0.86. For data analysis, open, axial and selective coding methods based on basic theory were used. The results showed that causal reasons for knowledge management included (knowledge updating, infrastructure facilitation and meritocracy), intervening conditions included (interactive leadership and motivation), contextual conditions included (organizational culture and staff ranking), strategies included (health care and critique training) and outcomes also included (reducing costs, employee satisfaction, and increasing productivity). Based on the results, it can be concluded that knowledge management is related to several factors that in order to improve it, all the indicators and factors identified in the present study should be considered.

The purpose of this study was to investiate the dimensions of competency of managers through research synthesis with emphasis on Islamic management. The study is qualitative and of synthesis research type. Population were comprised of all studies carried out on managers competency dimensions from databases between 2010 and 2022, totaling 140 articles, that were classified and screened through content analysis, of which 47 articles (8 external sources and 39 internal sources) that met the criteria of the research were selected by purposive sampling as a statistical sample and examined. In order to collect the required information, a checklist made by the researcher was used to report and record the information of the initial researches, which was collected by searching with different keywords related to the purpose of the research. Robert’s six-stage model of synthesis research was used to analyze the findings. The validity of the proposed framework was evaluated on the basis of four criteria: credibility, transferability, trustworthiness, and confirmability. The result of the inductive and compositional content analysis of the categories is the extraction of the conceptual framework of the manager's competency dimensions factors around 4 levels: Belief-value, individual, professional (vocational) and managerial.

This study is conducted to investigate the structural pattern of transformational leadership with employee creativity and organizational innovation considering the mediating role of creative self-efficacy. The research method is descriptive-correlational. The statistical population (271 people) of this study includes the faculty members of the Islamic Azad University of Shiraz.  To select the sample size, a sample of 160 people was randomly selected using Cochran's formula.  To measure the transformational leadership, the Bass and Avolio (2000) Questionnaire, Creative Self-Efficacy (Karowski et al., 2011) were used; to measure organizational innovation, Kamigen and Villar (2014) questionnaire was used. The reliability of the questionnaire was evaluated by Cronbach's alpha coefficient and its composite reliability and validity were evaluated by construct and content validity. The research hypotheses were analyzed using Smart PLS structural equation modeling technique. The results showed that transformational leadership has a positive and significant relationship with creativity and creative self-efficacy. Creative self-efficacy has also a positive and significant relationship with creativity; creativity has a positive and significant relationship with organizational innovation as well. In general, the obtained results show that the model used has a good fit.
