Today, in any organizations, increasing effectiveness and productivity depend on the level of employee morale. In military employees and especially among the conscripts, who make up the bulk of the armed forces, are no exception to this rule; and their morale is important due to their border protection mission, severe weather conditions, and lack of facilities in these areas. Therefore, this study aims to explain the factors affecting in promotion of morale of conscripts at job in NEZAJA operational units based on the exploratory method and with a practical approach. The statistical population includes a number of commanders, managers and ideological heads of major units who have served in operational areas and more than 20 years, and have at least a master's degree. The statistical sample was selected in a purposeful judgmental manner and based on the mentioned criteria; then the interview process with experts (13 people) continued until the stage of theoretical saturation of data. Data collection was done by library and field method (using semi-structured interview tools). The validity of the instrument was calculated by content method and its reliability by recoding method (94.73%). Data were analyzed thematically based on open coding on the expressions of the interviewees and the texts taken from the study of documents. The results reveal that the factors affecting in promotion of morale of conscripts at job in NEZAJA operational units were classified into three general areas: "individual factors", "organizational factors" and "extra-organizational factors". Finally, in order to improve the morale of conscripts, the indicators identified in this study should be considered by the commanders of the operational units.

The new Islamic civilization, in addition to responding to the natural needs of human beings, also guides their spiritual dimension towards perfection and happiness; this desirable structure, which is rooted in Islamic humanizing programs, not only does not negate the concrete and hardware dimension of civilization, but also directs it and saves it from the downfalls that human beings have suffered. This study aims to explain the status of military power components in three dimensions of software, hardware and intelligence. This descriptive-analytical research was an applied in purpose; the method of data collection was field and library; the findings analyzed using expert method and the statistical population according to experts was 110 people. The results show that military power in the hard dimension has 5 components: ground, air, sea, missile and UAV. The average of hard power is evaluated well. Soft dimension has 4 components: cognitive, media, psychological and intelligence. The average of soft power is evaluated weak. In the smart dimension, it has 3 components: economic, hybrid and cyber. The average of intelligent power is evaluated normal. The software component has the greatest effect on achieving a new Islamic civilization, but unfortunately the current status of this component in the armed forces has been poorly assessed. Therefore, the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran have no problem in achieving a new Islamic civilization in the hard power component, but they must make the greatest effort first in the soft power component and then in the smart power component.

The location of military bases and barracks within the urban context, along with the horizontal expansion of cities, has created many problems in the missions assigned to the armed forces and reduced the efficiency of barracks, which in itself is a serious threat to the proper performance of missions. This study aims to identify the dimensions and components of military barracks location by mixed methods. The statistical population of this study includes commanders and professors of armed forces universities (NEZAJA and NAJA) and structural equations with Smart PLS software have been used to analyze the data. In this research, the components of locating military barracks and their influential variables have been identified, then classified based on experts’ opinion, and finally suggestions for their improvement have been presented. The results show that the influential components on the location of military barracks are: territorial planning, geography of the region, principles of passive defense considerations, basic infrastructure and military indicators and type of units. Paying attention to the finding indicators can have a significant effect on the location of military barracks.

University professors and faculty members, as role models for students, in addition to performing their scientific and research duties, also play a critical moral role in educating students. The professors of military universities will have a special status in the field of observing and promoting moral principles, according to the specific goals and missions that they are responsible for. This study aims to identify the dimensions, components and characteristics of professional ethics of faculty members and professors of IAMU, then rank them from students view point. In this applied-exploratory research, the method is qualitative-quantitative, and the approach is inductive. 175 people were selected from among IAMU students based on Morgan table to rank the obtained dimensions. Data collected through questionnaire and interview with experts. The results show that the professional ethics of the faculty members of IAMU includes five dimensions: education, research, training, individual and organizational ethics; these dimensions and their components are above average among the professors and faculty members of IAMU. Individual ethics with the components of jihadi and behavioral spirit, and ideological-political competencies are the most important dimensions and the research and education are the least important dimensions. It is suggested that the identified dimensions and components, be applied in IAMU and other military universities of the army of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and professors and faculty members be evaluated accordingly.

This study aims to design and explain the succession model with talent management approach in the army of I.R. of Iran in 1400. In this qualitative research, commanders, professors and experts of the academic community, as well as specialists and managers of the army of the I.R. of Iran (Colonel and General) with the highest education and experience, as knowledgeable experts, were selected and interviewed. In this study, unstructured and in-depth interviews have been used to collect data; then data analyzed through coding (open, axial and selective coding) and MAXQDA software. Finally, a qualitative model is presented which consists of causal conditions (organizational structures, internal management, policies and documents) thematic conditions (education and training, manpower capabilities, laws and instructions), central category (evaluation and progress of selected people, selection, recruitment and employment of talent), moderating conditions (individuals, organizational constraints, supportive atmosphere of the organization), strategies (optimization of succession program, retention of talent, promotion and development of talent, identification of key positions) and outcomes (strengthening the culture of succession, evaluating the effectiveness of the succession system, developing talent management).

This study aims to design a model of cyber defense in data-driven organizations in the field of data storage. In this exploratory and applied research, the approach was mixed and the method was both Delphi and survey. First, by studying the existing documents and resources related to data-driven organizations, the field of data storage, because of its importance in compared to other organizations and five dimensions, (identification, protection, detection, responsibility and retrieval) of cyber defense ​​were identified and counted based on the NIST framework. A Likert scale questionnaire by using 15 experts and implementation of two Delphi stages, was designed, refined and finalized based on the data retention characteristics of data-driven organizations. Then, using the analytical survey method, in order to answer the main research question, the questionnaire was given to a sample size of 288  people who were randomly selected from the study population. Finally, the results were analyzed using structural equation modeling and confirmatory factor analysis, and as a result, a cyber defense model was presented. Five dimensions along with 21 components and 70 cyber defense indicators in the field of data storage in data-driven organizations were identified and counted. In addition, by confirming the confirmatory factor analysis on the computed model, the effect of each dimension of cyber defense on the data-driven organization is verified; and the experimental data support the theoretical data. At the end, the relevant cyber defense model in data-driven organizations is presented.
