In this research, having recognized the necessity of describing a desirable environmental scanning model for Iran’s police’s, we have made an analysis of a variety of sciences and numerous disciplines. The main goal of this research is to develop an appropriate environmental scanning model in the area of national security and defense i. e. military forces, particularly law enforcement – which is the primary role of police – so as to develop the enterprise architecture of Iran’s police by this approach in an appropriate context using an effective tool, called futures studies, and describe annual horizon of Iran’s police. Establishing and maintaining security through described strategies in the enterprise architecture of Iran’s police is of the most important benefits of this model. Moreover, making an improvement in the status quo as the first step in achieving the desirable situation through spatial planning and examining driving forces and trends is among the major consequences of this model. The identified or researcher-made frameworks were introduced through descriptive analytic approach that can be defined as six environment scanning models including the basic issue, mission/function, structure/agent, interaction/contrast, analysis and institution oriented levels. Finally, an alternative framework with three dimensional titles (place/time/context) was proposed for the desired environment scanning for Iran’s police by considering the nature of securitization, order maintenance, and policing services in sociality and futures studies progress trend. This is the first practical attempt at achieving a model suitable to the nature and identity of Iran’s police; however, we have a long way to go before achieving a comprehensive and dynamic model that takes into account all the requirements.

Suggestion systems are cohesive systems to utilize input from employees and improve organizational activities. However, establishing these systems without the prerequisite infrastructural conditions won’t be beneficial to any organization. Accordingly, the purpose of this research is to conduct a feasibility study of establishing suggestion systems at the Shahid Sattari University of aeronautical engineering within the framework of technical, legal, economical, human, cultural and strategic dimensions. The statistical population consists of the faculty members and personnel at the Shahid Sattari University of aeronautical engineering. This is an applied research by propose, and descriptive research by data collection method, in which a researcher-made questionnaire is used to collect data. The obtained results from the S.PSS software package indicate that the human and cultural variables are in desirable conditions; however, the technical, legal, economical and strategic variables don’t have appropriate conditions. Therefore, establishing effective suggestion systems in the statistical population requires targeted investments in the technical, legal, economical, and strategic variables.

In this research, we investigate the role of organizational structure development in Iran’s police personnel from the viewpoint of commanders and managers. This is an applied research by propose, and descriptive, survey research by data collection method. This is also a correlational research as it explores the relationship between two variables. The statistical population includes the commanders and managers in headquarters and specialized police departments of Mazandaran province disciplinary command. Based on the Cochran formula, 214 individual were selected through stratified random sampling technique as the sample. The data collection tools were the standard questionnaire of organizational structure (1998) and standard questionnaire of efficiency. Using the Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient formula, the reliability of the two sets of questions was estimated as 97% and 83% respectively. Also, descriptive statistics were used to describe and summarize features of the collected data, and the regression correlation coefficient using SPSS software package was used to interpret and analyze the information. The results indicate that there is a meaningful relationship between organizational structure and efficiency of the personnel. The obtained results also suggest that there is a meaningful relationship between the components of organizational structure and efficiency of the personnel, in which the dimensions of formality and complexity, respectively, have the highest and lowest correlation coefficients. That is, the more the structure is centralized, the less is the efficiency and the more the structure have formality, the less is the efficiency, and finally, the more the structure is complex, the less is the efficiency.

Management information systems are among the most important effective factors on the advancements and remarkable transformations in today’s changing environment. In such a changing environment, organizations try to design and use more comprehensive management information systems in order to make use of their innovation capabilities and create sustainable competitive advantage. In this study, we investigate the role of management information systems in innovation in the offices of police service 10 (reflected in the effectiveness of management information systems), competing values framework of which is defined operationally. The competing values framework integrates four major management models to measure the effectiveness of the information systems: open systems model, human relations model, internal goal model and rational model. Using a sample of 186 staff at the offices of police service 10 in Tehran province, the structural model has been designed and estimated by partial least squares regression analysis. The findings show that the human relations component of the competing values framework, characterized by interpersonal relations, collective decision making, team work and personalization, is the most important predictor of innovation in public services. Moreover, the dimension of rational model of the effectiveness of the management information systems based on optimization has an indirect effect on human relations through the elements of open systems and internal process. The other two components of the effective of management information systems (i.e. open systems and internal process) have indirect relationship with task innovation through the dimension of human relations.

The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship social capital and occupational burnout and personnel procrastination at east Tehran police stations. The research method is descriptive correlational. The statistical population is all employees of the east Tehran police command in the year 1393, consisting of 1980 full time employees. The sampling method is cluster sampling and 319 individual was selected as the final sample using Morgan table. 320 questionnaires were distributed among the employees; after collecting the questionnaires, 287 questionnaires were returned and, finally, the sample size was decreased to 276 individual. Statistical package was used to analyze the data and the version number 21 and the linear structural relations version 8/54 was used to analyze the social science data. The descriptive indices include mean, standard deviation and correlation coefficient. The hypothesized relations were tested by structural equation.
The findings show that social capital has negative structural effect on personnel procrastination. Moreover, there is a meaningful relationship between the variables of social capital and personnel procrastination with standard error of measurement of 05. The relationship between social capital and personnel procrastination of employee was examined through the mediating variable of occupational burnout and the calculated T-value was -2.809, as well as, the standard coefficient was estimated as -0.065 which confirms the existence of a negative relationship. The relationship between occupational burnout and personnel procrastination was investigated according which the T-value was calculated as 5.07 and standard coefficient was estimated as .23 showing that there is a meaningful and positive relationship between these variables. Accordingly, the more is the social capital among the employees of Iran’s police, the less will be the their procrastination and occupational burnout; and to the extent that occupational burnout increases in Iran’s police organization, the personnel procrastination also increases.

Although an increasingly complex work environment requires shared forms of leadership in the police, there is little empirical evidence on how to facilitate shared leadership in the police. The purpose of this paper is to explore the role of transformational leaders in supporting shared leadership. The study is based on an online survey in a German state police (3,000 invited participants, a 39 percent response rate). The empirical analysis relies on a structural equation modeling (SEM) approach. The study findings reveal that transformational leaders exert a direct, positive influence on shared leadership and have an indirect, positive influence through their capacity to clarify organizational goals and create job satisfaction for followers. This large-scale study is the first to examine antecedents of shared leadership in the police. The results expand on the literature on transformational leadership by highlighting transformational leaders’ role as “SuperLeaders” in supporting shared leadership.
