Justice has been one of the most important objectives of Iran''s Islamic revolution and leaders. It has had an important role in their notions and actions. On the other hand، the process of its recognition and achievement has developed a growing body of invaluable literature about the issue. This has not only provided some knowledge for scholars and public administrators، but has also created a lot of confusion among them. Major scientific policies in the field of justice research derived from the Supreme Leader''s words are categorized into five groups، namely Islamic justice theory، religious and human capacity، relation between justice and other religious concepts and values، justice indices and requirements for scientific implementation of justice in society. This classification can lead the practical and theoretical justice-research management in the country for achieving justice in addition to reducing the reasons for trial and error and slow progress in that area. This research، by using thematic analysis as a useful tool for qualitative analysis of texts، is an initial endeavor to explain justice from the viewpoint of Iran''s Supreme Leader.

Nowadays the world’s most active and influential cultural processes are created by the institutions which have succeeded in forming qualitative and efficient networks consisting of elites and cultural activists. Based on this، the present research aims at presenting a management model for networking of associations and activists of the Islamic Revolution''s Cultural Front. The qualitative method of case study was used as the most appropriate strategy for this research. The Thematic Network Analysis method was also applied for organizing and manifesting research findings. Three active cultural networks selected here for the study include “Training-Based Associations Network of the holy city of Mashhad”، “Production and Distribution Associations of Islamic Revolution''s Cultural Product Network”، and “The International Caritas Network”. The research findings led to the identification of 26 basic themes. By clustering the themes in the similar groups، the research results were classified into five organizing themes. The research’s organizing themes include the points and principles related to network formation، structural points and network pillars، social capital and trust in cultural networks، behavioral and psychological points، and the issues concerning planning in network. All the organizing themes can also be defined under the global theme of “creation and development of a sustainable cultural network”. Therefore، this theme is the focal theme of the research’s thematic network. Using the model presented here، associations and cultural activists may enjoy the advantages of cooperation and synergy in a sustainable network in the field of culture and become the origin of major cultural developments in line with the objectives of the Islamic Revolution.

Research in dynamic capabilities as a field of research is at an early stage and many research questions are posed in this area. A necessary step to convert the dynamic capabilities to a theory is specifying a set of rules governing the relationships between constitutive variables. One of the most important relationships in this field is the relationship between dynamic capabilities and performance. Meanwhile، the mechanisms of dynamic capabilities'' effect on the firm''s performance are not well understood. Using data from the companies in Tehran Stock Exchange، this paper measures dynamic capabilities as a hierarchical construct with three underlying factors: Sensing Capability، Seizing the Opportunities Capability، and Resources'' Reconfiguration Capability. Then، path-structural modeling is employed to explore the relationships among dynamic capabilities and performance. The results showed that dynamic capabilities indirectly impact the firm''s performance through operational capabilities. Furthermore، the direct relationship between dynamic capabilities and performance is not significant.

This study aims at determining the indefinite situation of relevant talent acivity results. Based on the pertinent literature، an exploratory approach was employed to specify the results such as freedom، creativity and apply knowledge. Based on the studied literature a questionnaire was designed to assess the research variables. The questionnaires were then distributed to a randomly selected group that worked as researchers in technical and engineering، and basic science institutes، from which 199 valid responses were obtained. The data were tested by Lisrel software and the results showed that relevant talent activities can directly result in freedom، and directly and indirectly in creativity and application of knowledge. In other words، to the extent an individual works at the highest levels of his talent، he will gain the appropriate amount of freedom، creativity and application of his knowledge. What is needed then is elevating our endeavors to the highest levels of our best and unique talent

This research has been done with the goal of investigating the effective factors of stewardship behavior in Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization by using conventional content analysis. To do this، 18 people of best stewards of Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization participated in our interview following a deliberated sampling and performance evaluation codes. The texts of interviews were categorized in the framework of thinking units and ultimately four themes. The results define four factors affecting stewardship behavior، namely emotional factors، cognitive factors، personal background factors، and role-related background.

Management and leadership theories and models، like other fields of knowledge، are under the influence of scientific paradigms. Two important paradigms، i. e. the Newtonian paradigm and quantum paradigm have seriously affected organizational theories and models. The formulation of the principles of modern sciences requires knowledge of leadership techniques in modern organizations so that these technologies and principles offer a new metaphor for organizations'' life and leadership activities. Meanwhile، traditional organizations'' development models have been replaced by new models and methods of intervention in an age of uncertainty، complexity، globalization and rapid change. The start of 21st century can be named، technologically speaking، as the era of quantum. The key to organizational excellence is outstanding leadership. Seven quantum skills can activate leaders of the 21st century for creating a new level of organizational excellence in order to use the most powerful energy of the universe i. e. the energy of the mind. If leaders and their organizations really intend to progress in this new era، they need to make the managers take an intellectual leap forward and develop a new skill. Quantum leadership that is based on making the best decision in complex situations requires seven quantum skills that enable organizations'' leaders to adopt dynamic and intuitive thinking. In other words، we can no longer define leadership as the act of influencing others for realizing determined goals، but rather a process in which searching the goals and proceeding to the goals are more significant and valuable that the goals themselves. This article aims to review the literature related to leadership and quantum organizations، plus examining the paradigmatic effects of quantum theory on organizational theories and quantum theory-related models.
