To study the factors affecting the expansion of public participation in tax payment and provide practical solutions to improve the system of public participation in complying with taxpayers is one of the objectives of this study.

Design/Methodology/Approach: 

The phenomenon was explained using cognitive mapping method during the study of the research background and in-depth and semi-structured interviews with tax experts.

After studying the research literature, 53 effective factors in paying tax were identified.Using the available software, the experts' case map was extracted based on relatively strong relationships between the factors. Organizing tax affairs, developing national-religious culture, general institutionalization of tax affairs, ecological features of taxpayers, micro and macroeconomic status and learning from effective international models.

Limitations and Consequences:

 In this study, an attempt was made to extract the initial model using expert opinion and to postpone the quantitative test based on the positivism paradigm in order to test the model and generalize it to future studies. Therefore, the lack of questioning of taxpayers and taxpayers is the limitation of this study. In this study, tax experts and managers of the organization were used to collect information.

This research looking for design and explain a comprehensive model that can be used to evaluate organizations according to indicators of an intelligent organization.

Design/methodology/approach:

The research is an applied developmental one in terms of purpose, which follows descriptive survey method in terms of nature and methodology. The statistical population of Delphi panel is 20 experts in the field of management and the statistical population of the Case Study is the managers and senior experts of the Social Security Organization. data collection tool contains dimatel interviews that used Delphi technique in three stages to designing it. Data analysis was conducted through DANP (DEMATEL-ANP) technique to obtain cause and effect relationships and the weight of the indicators.

According to the results, technological intelligence (2 indicators) with a weight of 27.52, structural intelligence (4 indicators) 25.6, Intra-organizational intelligence (3 indicators) 23.81, Extra-organizational intelligence (3 indicators) 23.06, Also among 12 indicators, Knowledge management, information technology and systematic thinking were identified as the most important indicators of smart organization.

the practical result of this research is a comprehensive model that can be used to evaluate organizations according to the dimensions and indicators of intelligent organization.

Innovation or value of the Article:

Intelligent organization is an important part of strategic integration and alignment in e-government. Also, in terms of the approach in the usual method using the Demetel method and ANP, many influences and relationships may be eliminated. In the DANP method using the total communication matrix to form the ANP supermatrix and calculate the weight of the criteria and sub-criteria.

 Analyzing the Academic social networks of Knowledge Network field for drawing the intellectual and conceptual structure of this field.

Design/ Methodology/ Approach:

 This research is applied research that has been done by academic social network analysis. performance analysis and science mapping methods are used to perform this research. in performance analysis, the index of frequency of citations was used and for science mapping uses Co-citation, Bibliographic coupling and Co-occurrence of keywords.
