interpretive structural modeling

The present research was considered with the aim of explaining the components of good governance with the interpretive structural modeling approach.The review of the subject literature shows that good governance includes the government and governance as a powerful institution, within the framework of the constitution, civil society,the private sector,committed citizens and the international/global institutional structure.It promotes participation and interaction in an increasingly complex, diverse and dynamic national and international environment.Cultural heritage, traditional values, environmental realities, political culture and economic structure should be considered in defining and determining the components of good governance.According to many researches and studies, many components for good governance have been reported, but in this study, the components provided in the United Nations Development Program are considered and by using questions through artificial intelligence and the ChatGPT program, the same component is considered. were presented in response.In the modeling section, the relationships between the set of components were determined, and based on their degree of driving and dependence,the "corruption control" component was determined as a link component, a component that any action on it, in addition to directly affecting other components it can be influenced by other components in the form of feedback.This means that the good governance of basic justice is realized in the shadow of corruption control.The word that is lost and expected by all the justice demands of human society.This key finding is in line with the historical and lasting sentence of the leader who said:"You cannot clean the glass with a dirty napkin".

This research aims to rank the dimensions of the organizational culture model based on Islamic resistance in the school of Martyr Haj Qasem Soleimani using Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM). This study follows a mixed-method approach (qualitative and quantitative) and is developmental-applied in its objective, utilizing a survey methodology. The data collection method combines both library research and field studies, employing documents, expert interviews, and questionnaires as tools.The statistical population of this research includes university professors, experts in the field of Islamic resistance culture, senior managers of the governorate, and comrades of Martyr Soleimani, selected through purposive sampling, estimated at 21 individuals. Data analysis in this study was conducted using NVIVO version 11, EXCEL version 2019, and SPSS version 26 software.The qualitative data collected resulted in the extraction of 99 initial codes, 33 basic themes, and 11 organizing themes. The results indicate that the 11 themes of the organizational culture model based on Islamic resistance in the school of Martyr Haj Qasem Soleimani in the governorate of Sistan and Baluchestan are categorized into three levels. The most influential themes identified are: "strategy-oriented culture," "culture of promoting Islamic values," "commitment-oriented culture," "culture of resistance and perseverance," and "culture of participation and cooperation."

Governance has a long conceptual history, to include multifaceted meanings and to act as counterpart of alternative for “public sector management” and “public sector leadership.” Governance has gained popularity in management sciences and in academic public policy discourse because of its multivalency – its ability to link up with many other arguments and theoretical concepts. Although interest for the concept governance has increased tremendously during the last two decades, the term is not new, but rather as old as the civilization or the human history. The aim of the present study was to interpret the structural modeling of the good governance components based on the United Nations Development Program. The type of research is applied, development, which has been done using the qualitative method, using a new analysis under the title of interpretive structural modeling, the relationships between the set of components were determined. After determining the matrix and drawing the boundary lines, the components were identified and categorized based on the level of Driving Force and Dependent Force. Based on their degree of Driving and Dependent , no components were recognized as independent, dependent and autonomous components, only the "corruption control" component was determined as a linked component. An interesting finding indicates that the good governance is realized in the shadow of corruption control, which, in addition to being compatible with theoretical foundations, is also completely consistent with the real world. This key finding is in line with the historical and lasting sentence of the leader who said: "You cannot clean the glass with a dirty napkin".

Technology and knowledge transfer (TKT) as a two-way interaction between sender and receiver is a key strategy for industrial development among developing countries. However, it includes intangible costs called transaction costs in addition to tangible and formal costs. Experience gained by developing countries show that expert expats have high capacity to play a key role in this regard. By adopting the phenomenological analysis method and using interpretative-structural modeling based on lived experience of 22 Iranian expert expats, this research tries to identify a model of their impact on reducing transaction costs (TCs) as well as factors in this respect. MICMAC analytical tool has then been applied to position the factors according to their influence and role. Finding show trust and personal credibility in the experts' network and informal relationship with expats home play a key role in reduction of TCs thus helping better achieve goals in TKT efforts. Policy recommendations in respect to facilitating the transfer of technology and strengthening informal connections and ties between expats and home are suggested, especially in hi-tech sectors.

The nature of power is based on the amount of resources and behavioral power, which is soft power. Behaviorally, soft power is called attractive power in its simplest definition. One of the most important means of its attraction will be the existence of soft power sources. Therefore, soft power is not only attractive behavior, but also resources and elements such as; It also depends on the economy, culture, political values, social values and foreign policy which are considered to create attractiveness. Recently, soft power has become a focal point in management and public policy discourses. Although it does not have a long history, it serves as a complementary counterpart to "hard power". Soft power has gained popularity in defense science, military, public and academic discourse due to its multi-foundation, but it is far from being scientifically conceptualized and paying attention to all its aspects. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to interpret the structural modeling of the components of soft power based on the political values of the Imam of the Islamic Revolution of Iran. The type of research is applied, development, which was determined by using a new analysis under the title of interpretative structural modeling, the relationships between the set of components. Based on the degree of influence and dependence of the components, only the "defense" component was determined as a link component. The key finding is that soft power based on political values in the shadow of defense;

 The holy defense period is one of the unique moments in the history of Iran. A moment that evokes the authority and honor of recapturing occupied areas and winning amazing military victories. Explaining the method of war by J.A. Iran in the era of sacred defense is the aim of this research, in line with which the authors raised the question that the war method of J.A. How can Iran be explained in the holy defense as an important factor in gaining these victories? After discussing the theoretical issues, the most important features of the war style of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Tahami War were extracted from the available written sources (mostly from the views and statements of the war commanders). In the following, in order to validate the findings, by using the opinions of experts in the framework of completing the researcher-made questionnaire and distributing it among 15 experts, the identified characteristics were first confirmed, and then by using the structural-interpretive modeling method, the authors sought to identify the characteristics of the method. The war of the Islamic Republic of Iran during the period of holy defense and the ratio of each of the features came out with each other.The findings of this research show that the mentioned features can be divided into three levels: infrastructure, intermediate and superstructure (according to the degree of influence and vulnerability). The main success factor of Iran's war method depends on the fact that that method is "unknown" by the enemy. Being local and faith-oriented is one of the most important features of the Islamic Republic of Iran's war style during the period of holy defense.

identifying the strategies for promoting the employability of conscripts based on Spatial planning and strengthening them leads to integration, empowerment and synergy. Therefore, the purpose of the current research is to interpret the structural modeling of the strategies for promoting the employability of conscripts based on Spatial planning. The identification of strategies to promoting the employability of conscripts based on Spatial planning through semi-structured interviews with the qualitative content analysis method based on the theoretical saturation technique and the purposeful sampling method was carried out with 34 professors and experts of management, economy and policy makers of the armed forces. The validity and reliability of the interviews were confirmed by the method of relative content validity and Cohen's kappa index, respectively. Coding of interviews using 2020 MAXQDA software led to the identification of 12 strategies. In order to stratify the identified strategies, the opinions of 89 senior officials and employees of the General Staff of the Armed Forces and managers of the conscription organization were used with the stratified random sampling method and with the help of a questionnaire. Validity and reliability of the questionnaire were confirmed using content validity and test-post-test method. The strategies identified by the interpretative structural method led to the formation of eight levels, where better use of Spatial planning and in-service training were the most effective factors, and process reengineering and value chain analysis were the most effective factors

The system of existence, as the manifestation of God's will and providence, is subject to laws and traditions that are neither changeable nor replaceable. One of these traditions is the manifestation of truth and its victory over falsehood, which is expressed in the word revolution. Therefore, being revolutionary and staying revolutionary is the key to the life, stability and survival of any revolution, which is realized in the light of having scientific and conscious knowledge of the word revolution under the title of "revolutionary literacy". Therefore, the present study investigates and recognizes the components of revolutionary literacy and its conceptualization. In this regard, by reviewing the existing literature and studies and the menus of the Imams of the Revolution, 11 components out of 23 components were identified as the final components of revolutionary literacy, which were used to determine the relationships between the set of components by using a new analysis called interpretive structural modeling. After determining the matrix and drawing the boundary lines, the components were identified and categorized based on the level and driving of force and dependent. The unity component was determined as a link component that has influence power and also a strong driving dependent. I In the light of such a result, it can be stated that the word revolutionary does not mean a basic individual, single-mindedness and self-willedness, but it is based on the scholarly view and vision of the social collective, from which the meaning of unity is inferred and extracted. So, with scientific evidence, it is argued that the focal point of revolutionary literacy is a component of unity, which has been and will be the key to the realization, formation, life continuity and survival of any revolution.

The aim of the current study was to know the components of jihadi management. By reviewing the available literature and the menus of the Supreme Leader, nine components were identified, which were used to determine the relationships between the set of components using a new analysis called interpretive structural modeling. After determining the matrix and drawing the boundary lines, the components were identified and categorized based on the level of Driving and Dependent Force. Linkage components including "Efficiency, Equity, and Program Oriented" have influence power as well as strong dependence power, these components are in fact unstable components, in the sense that doing any action on these components in addition to directly affecting other components has an effect, it can also affect the component itself in the form of feedback from other components. The independent components include "sincerity and intelligence" which have a strong influencing power, but their dependence power is weak, which are actually key components and by making changes in them, you can influence the rest of the components. Dependent components include "hard work and challenge with obstacles" which have a weak influencing power, however, they have a higher dependence power than other components. In fact, the extraction of these components shows that despite the fact that in the general view, the concept of jihadi management has a simplistic meaning, but in the scientific view, The findings showed that it is based on completely scientific management indicators and can be presented and implemented as a new management style.

Conflict of interest is one of the most important factors that affect the rights of citizens and affect the performance of any institution. The Social Security Organization, as one of the largest institutions with many stakeholders and multiple roles in the society, is not exempt from this. This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the policies and factors cause conflicts of interest, providing solutions and a model based on good governance to reduce its effects. The results showed conflict avoidance structure, organizational behavior management, transparency of affairs, dynamics of organizational system, digital transformation, meritocracy, predictability, employee participation, regulations preventing conflicts of interest and accountability are factors that can help to manage conflict of interest and protection of public rights in social security organization. Also, the results of the interpretive structural modeling approach showed that the conflict avoidance structure and conflict prevention regulations are at basic levels, therefore these variables are prioritized by institutions to manage conflict of interest.

Every country faces with various problems in which the solutions related to those depend on having a model for setting priorities, explaining the angles of the problems, designing solutions, etc. Since the requirements of the countries have been different from each other, we needed a local model suitable to our needs. Post-islamic revolution of Iran also faced complex issues with the needs regarding to the Iranianness, Islamism, and modernity. In the meantime, holy defense has been experienced in carrying efficient and native knowledge in recognizing and solving complex issues while this knowledge is implicit and needs to be investigated, deepened and modeled to become explicit knowledge. The present article examines the practical experiences of the holy defense commanders and how they face complex issues, using the theme analysis strategy and semi-structured interviews with 8 experts of the holy defense era, identifying 180 identifiers, 31 basic themes, 8 organizing themes and then using the ism method, he presented its interpretive structural model. The results showed that in order to face the complex issues in the sacred defense of an 8-step model including recognition of the desired situation, information gathering, analysis of the current situation, discovery and identification of issues, environmental science, idea generation, action planning and evaluation and effectiveness measurement. It has been used and can be extended to other management fields needed in the Islamic Revolution.

Financial corruption is one of the most important concerns of any society. This is particularly true for sports organizations, which always have a high risk of corruption due to their broad scope of activity and the scope of their activity within the community level. This article identifies and analyzes the main dimensions and indicators that influence corruption in the Departments of Sports and Youth.  This was done by employing structural-interpretive modeling.This study is a descriptive survey in terms of purpose and data collection. First, the dimensions and indicators of corruption based on literature review, content analysis, comparative research and interviews with experts and identification of experts, were found. Then, using the new analytical methodology and structural-interpretive model (ISM), the relationships between the dimensions and indicators of corruption in finances were determined and integrated. Finally, using MICMAC, the variables were analyzed to determine the impact on other variables.The research findings show that, the factors consist of four levels, where control and supervisory factors, managerial factors and financial advantages are at the contextual level and transparency and policy-making factors are at the top of the model in the organization thus having the least impact on other factors.The results of this study demonstrated, control and supervisory factors, managerial factors, and salaries and benefits paid to employees, can play a significant role in creating corruption.

The main requirement in managing Iran's economy is a deep and systematic understanding of micro and macro economic issues. The lack of a system of issues undermines effective policy-making in economic development and leads to numerous analyzes and interpretations, and of course, a lack of serious understanding on the challenges of the Iranian economy. Accordingly, the present study has been compiled with the aim of designing a coherent theoretical system in the field of Iranian economic issues based on the analysis of the content of the second step statement. For this purpose, initially, based on the method of content analysis, a set of economic issues of the country is calculated; Then, using the interpretive-structural method (ISM), the system of Iranian economic problems was extracted. The research findings show that Iran's economic problems have three structural, managerial and international aspects and are located in six levels. Statehood of the economy at the first level, neglect of the needy and untapped capacities at the second level, economic corruption, outward looking at internal capacities and poor budgeting at the third level, discrimination in access to public resources, economic dependence on oil, youth unemployment, economic sanctions , The temptations of the enemy, non-compliance with priorities and instability in executive policies at the fourth level, class gap and income poverty at the fifth level and the existence of excessive costs at the sixth level of the system of economic issues of Iran..

As one of the most critical oceanic ports, Chabahar has attracted the attention of many countries in terms of trade and cost reduction for exporting their goods and services to Western countries in terms of low cost, distance and so on. Therefore, the primary purpose of this article is to show how strategic foresight can contribute to the development of the Chabahar Free Zone.

This is a qualitative and quantitative combination study. Firstly, using library resources and expert opinions for data collection, and finally, the interpretive structural modeling method is used to draw the model. Expert views on the model and its validity are also used.

The results show that the favorable model for the future of free zones and in this case Chabahar is composed of factors that pay special attention to geopolitical and geo-economic issues due to the specific geography of this region. The use of futures studies methods, especially environmental scanning, as well as the casual-layered analysis (CLA), depending on the climatic and geographic conditions of this region, is essential.
 

According to the literature review, no comprehensive study has been done so far on the foresight of free zones, so the proposed model as the first model for free zones foresight can respond to this vital aspect of these areas development.

The Islamic Revolution of Iran can be regarded as a dishonest rise in the era of theocracy of history, which was able to bring human conscience to the awareness space ,It has led humanity from materialism to spirituality ,The beginning of the dramatic changes in the study of religion and government ,Because Western observers admitted that revolution was in the image of God. So that today's cultural, political, social and economic achievements have made everyone wonder Since the enemy's cultural invasion is organized, the western world by dominating its culture and pattern tries to prevent the spread of message and pattern different with its own such as the modeling of the Islamic Revolution. The west culture is a culture that leads our country’s young people to mere enjoyment and welfare to become indifferent to the issues of the country, region and the world. In the meantime and in order to confront the world great crisis, the creative industries can provide an active and not passive strategy by utilizing the youth innate creativity as well as the great cultural and value capital of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Accordingly, in this research, we paid to extract an effective component in attention to the creative industries using the grounded theory method in direction of the Islamic Revolution attraction. Then, we paid to categorize these components using the interpretive structural modeling. The results of the research indicate that the six components have been extracted in the appeal of the Islamic Revolution. In this way, according to experts, the two components of absorption system, finding talented people and human resources development, as well as the system of supporting and cultivating attractive ideas are the most influential components in using creative industries as a way to promote the Islamic Revolution attractiveness.
