These days, the personal and professional lives of people are closely related to each other. Hence, improvement of theoretical knowledge in the field of interactions and complex relationships between these two fields, in relation to the phenomenon of work-life relations, seems quite essential. This research is intended to investigate the lived experience of eight female faculty members holding managerial positions in a research institute in relation to the their arrangement of their work lives and everyday lives. The Dahlberg’s reflective world life of descriptive phenomenological method was used for this purpose. The reason for employing this approach was to achieve a general structure of the phenomenon depending on all individual changes made in the data, and not for the generalization of the findings. In-depth interviews were conducted with these eight female faculty members who held managerial positions. Three methods of peer questioning, negative case analysis and research originality were used for the confirmation of the reliability of the analyses and the findings. The results of data analysis revealed that, "family background", " perception of self-efficacy", "capacity to adapt to circumstances", "ambition and courage to face adversities", and "family support and care" contained the positive aspects of work-life relationships. On the other hand, "preventive comparisons", "indoctrination of gender stereotypes", "perception of failure in life", "dogmatic thinking" and "the demands of work life" composed the main negative experience of confronting these two areas.

The prevailing traditional situation and the lack of entrepreneurial approach imposes a serious problems in public sector organizations in Iran. In order to compete with other organizations, these organizations need talented and entrepreneurial employees to deliver the best services to the customers. The purpose of this study is to design a talent management framework through entrepreneurial culture in public service organizations in Sistan & Baluchestan province. This is a mixed research (qualitative-quantitative). The statistical population in the qualitative section includes 15 senior managers and experts from several selected organizations, selected by purposive sampling method by in-depth semi-structured interviews using the snowball method. Acceptance criteria were used to confirm the scientific validity of the results in the qualitative section. The data were analyzed through thematic analysis method resulting in 96 primary codes, 25 sub-themes and 8 main themes. The statistical population of the quantitative section consisted of all employees proposed by these organizations, whose sample was selected purposively. Data were collected through the distribution of a researcher-made questionnaire in a sample of 84 people, the validity and reliability of which were confirmed by SmartPLS software. The results revealed that the proposed framework was significantly valid. The proposed framework provides a valuable map for moving toward the desired state of talent management with an entrepreneurial culture approach.

This paper is the report of a research aimed at designing a model for internal components of employees' self-management on the basis of mixed methodology through descriptive-exploratory approach. The statistical population of the qualitative phase included experts from the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology in the field of human capital management and for the quantitative phase, it includes all employees of the ministry. In the qualitative section, the sample was selected through targeted judgment method including 20 people, and in the quantitative section, random stratified method was used resulting in the selection of 205 people. In the first stage, the data were collected by semi-structured interviews with experts, and in the second stage, through a 41-item questionnaire whose validity was confirmed by face-to-face method, and whose reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha (0.897). The qualitative data analysis was carried out using content analysis method, and the quantitative data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis method in Amos 21 software. The results revealed that the employees' internal self-management consisted of two perspectives of behavioral and cognitive components. Furthermore, from among the cognitive components, self-motivation (with a factor load of 0.970) was the highest, and self-improvement (with a factor load of 0.929) was the lowest. With regard to the behavioral components of self-management, self-control (with a factor load of 0.970) supported the most, and self-care (with a factor load of 0.663) posed the least support for their related measurement model.

These days, the managers of the leading organizations think beyond leadership, and try to play the role of a coach to increase productivity, motivation, creativity and innovation in the organizations. As an approach of developing management and as a strategy for performance improvement, coaching has recently attracted the attention of the researchers excessively. A very important research requisite in this field is to identify the factors affecting the success of coaching, especially the degree of competency and proficiency of coaches, in a practical and assessable model.  This is true because employing the most capable and qualified people for coaching or improving the competencies of coaches, put forward the most critical issue in increasing the quality of management in organizations. Hence, this study is intended to design a model of coaching competency for bank managers. This applied research follows a qualitative method. The participants in the research contain 16 instructors and management specialists in the banking system having been selected by purposive sampling method. The data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews and were analyzed by thematic analysis and MAXQDA software. The results revealed 7 competency indicators, including ethical behavior, leadership, knowledge, personality traits, coaching skills, communication skills and managerial skills, for managers as coaches.

Understanding the complex institutional interactions plays a vital role in adapting human resource approaches to the needs of society and its cultural and social missions. Accordingly, this study is intended to design a model for human resource management in education in line with the document of fundamental transformation document in the framework of the new theory of institutionalism. This applied research follows mixed method including content analysis, survey, and Fuzzy Expert System. The statistical sample in the survey section includes 219 senior managers, policy makers and experts of the Ministry of Education. In mathematical modeling method, 10 organizational experts are selected as the sample. To confirm the validity of the scale, confirmatory factor analysis is used, and the correlation and a standard questionnaire are used for convergent validity. Confirmation of the dimensions, components and extractive indicators of the research model suggest that methods of human resource for harmonizing the objectives of the document of fundamental transformation, require the use of different combinations of components of rationality, environment and uniformity, which must be considered in the configuration of each dimension of management, human resource, and education. Reaching to these optimal combinations can facilitate the implementation of human resource approaches to achieve the goals of the fundamental transformation document.

This study is aimed at identifying the general competencies of the conscripts and presenting a model for measuring these competencies which can be used in the effective employment of conscripts in the armed forces. This research follows quantitative and qualitative methods including action research, documentary study, comparative study, survey study and narrative research. Data were collected through library records, analysis of valid upstream documents, including General Staff directions, administrative regulations and rules, comparative studies, and interviews through Delphi method.
