The purpose of the study is to assess the level of maturity and the Tehran Municipality’s readiness for the establishment of knowledge management and also to evaluate the status of knowledge cycle processes based on the Asian Productivity Model. This study is an applied research and its methodology is a survey. For data collection, the standard questionnaire of Asian Productivity Organization and supplementary questions were used. Its reliability was confirmed by the Cronbach's alpha questionnaire using SPSS 23 software and with the alpha coefficient of 0.95. The statistical population consisted of 250 expert managers and staff in the field of the human resources organization. The sample size was 150 people using the Cochran formula. The results show that the Tehran Municipality with 99.51 points is in the second of the five-level of knowledge management maturity. After learning about the benefits of KM on improving business processes and productivity, the organization has gathered information and realized its importance. Also, the results of ranking Criteria groups showed that the highest and lowest scores belong to the "Information Technology" and "Knowledge Process" criteria, respectively. Focusing on sub-processes of knowledge cycle such as applying, maintaining, sharing and knowledge creation indicated that the organization should implement strategies such as creating a specific structure for knowledge management leadership (protection and support knowledge management processes and developing culture of sharing and application knowledge) by forming expert associations, developing of project knowledge management, streamlining tools such as documenting the experiences of experts, knowledge cafes, and so on.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of knowledge acquisition and organizational behavior on the job performance of public librarians in Rasht.

The research instrument consisted of researcher-made questionnaires of organizational behavior, knowledge acquisition questionnaire and employees' job performance questionnaire that their validity was confirmed by content validity method and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to investigate the relationship between variables and regression method was used to predict the librarians' job performance through knowledge acquisition and organizational behavior. The results of data analysis showed that there is a significant and positive correlation between knowledge acquisition and job performance (r=0.29, P <0.01). There was also a significant and positive correlation between organizational behavior and job performance (r=0.30, P <0.01). The results of multiple regression analysis show that knowledge acquisition and organizational variables account for 9% of job performance changes. Given the findings, designing and holding librarians' training programs and workshops is essential to informing them about the training of all kinds of knowledge, as well as to create a favorable work and work environment and its impact on job performance. In this way, by improving the librarians' knowledge of libraries, they can improve their job performance.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the presence and activity of Alzahra University faculty members in the ResearchGate social network and its impact on the Scopus citation database and Google Scholar search engine based on altemetrics indexes.

This study is from the perspective of applied purpose, from the survey type and from the perspective of scientometrics methodology with Altmetrics approach. The research community of this study included all faculty members of Alzahra University who are members of ResearchGate social network. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used for statistical analysis. Descriptive statistics included the frequency and mean of each of the indicators measured in the ResearchGate network, the Scopus Citation Database, and the Google Scholar search engine. Inferential statistics (Pearson correlation coefficient, Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests) were used to assess the relationships and the presence or absence of differences between the variables studied.

The findings showed that the highest attendance and activity belonged to the Faculty of Physics and Chemistry. The arts and literature colleges did not have a serious activity with an average GRG score of zero. There was also a significant positive correlation between Altmetric indexes in ResearchGate and GoogleScolar and Scopus citation indices.

As researchers share knowledge and activity on the ResearchGate social network, the visibility of their scientific work increases, which in turn leads to an increase in citation indexes at Scopus and Google Scholar databases.

This article aims to have a deep understanding of knowledge sharing behavior and tries to illustrate this by analyzing applied theories in this field .

The present article is a narrative review and uses a library method to study a variety of articles that examine the motivational factors affecting knowledge sharing behavior in and out of the country, based on different theories.

Various motivational factors that influence individuals to engage in knowledge sharing behavior are examined by analyzing the theories in the fields of social psychology, economics, knowledge and information science and management that have been used in studies of this field. It is found that theory of reasoned action, theory of planned behavior, Social exchange theory, balance theory, self-determination theory, costly signaling theory and regulatory focus theory from social psychology, resource dependency theory in economics, anomalous State of knowledge theory from knowledge and information science and organizational climate theory from management are applicable in the area of knowledge sharing behavior.

In order to interpret the knowledge sharing behavior, it was necessary to analyze the theories applied and adopted from other disciplines in this field. that could provide a deep insight into the psychological, economic, organizational, as well as individual capabilities that influence the intentions of individuals to share knowledge. Knowledge sharing can gain much of its understanding of theories of social psychology. Concepts such as the attitude and behavioral intention of these theories affect knowledge sharing behavior.
