 Design and validation of a scale to measure and position administrative seats in the political-professional spectrum.

The present study has been done with the deductive-inductive approach in two stages. In the qualitative stage, by referring to the theoretical foundations and conducting structured interviews with experts, scale items have been identified. In the quantitative stage, using face and content validity and Cronbach’s alpha and test-retest methods, the designed scale was validated.

 After reviewing the literature and conducting interviews and making corrections suggested by the experts, the initial questionnaire was prepared with 72 items. In the face validity review, five items were removed. After calculating the CVI, four items were removed, and after calculating the CVR, another six items were removed, and thus, the final questionnaire was adjusted with 61 items in 10 dimensions.

Lack of local field research on the subject of study in order to use their findings in the research.Practical Consequences: Using the introduced scale, it is possible to determine the type of seats in the Iran administrative organizations, and based on the obtained results, rewrite the descriptions of the political and professional job description to each seat. The consequences of this work are to prevent significant changes in administrative positions after each election and the establishment of a program-based system instead of a person-centered one, and, as a result, the realization of the goals set out in the high-level documents.Innovation or value of the Article: Providing operational indicators to determine the professional or political positions in the public administrative system.

 The purpose of this study is to identify public values ​​that are the basis of decision-making and actions in public and governmental organizations. The subject studied in this paperis related to the issues such as ambiguity in the allocation of resources, measuring the consequences of services, measuring the performance of the administrative system, ambiguity in the selection of decision-making options and the behavior of public service organizations.

67 relevant policy documents (laws, regulations, guidelines, etc.) have been reviewed and analyzed by thematic analysis method.

 After counting, reviewing and analyzing valid policy documents, finally 335 descriptive codes, 23 basic themes, 8 organizing themes and a global theme have been counted and the framework of public values ​​has been presented accordingly. The organizing themes listed include reliability, expertise, de-bureaucracy, the behavior of public servant, quality, intellectual dynamism, administrative transformation, and excellence.Limitations & Consequences: One of the main limitations of this study is the impossibility of accessing upstream policy documents in document centers, which are classified as confidential or semi-confidential ones.

Providing a basis for allocating resources, measuring service outcomes, measuring administrative system performance, selecting decision-making options, and conducting public service organizations.

This article, in accordance with the argument made, enumerates the general values in the context of the Iranian administrative system, which is specific to Iranian culture.

 The aim of this study is to identify and prioritize the antecedents and consequences of agile leadership style using fuzzy Delphi method.

This research is a type of mixed  research with a qualitative and quantitative approach in the inductive paradigm, which is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-survey in terms of nature and method. The statistical population of the research was knowledge-based companies in Lorestan Province, from which 30 experts were selected according to purposive sampling method. Data collection tools were in the qualitative part of the interview and in the quantitative part of the questionnaire.

 The results show that among the precedents of agile leadership, flexibility, creative thinking skills, stakeholder management ability, learner personality, high environmental awareness and digital literacy are the most important factors. Organizational Agility, increasing Employee satisfaction and commitment, increasing customer satisfaction and commitment, promoting creative thinking and avoiding stagnation, spreading the culture of continuous learning and increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization are the most important consequences of this leadership style in knowledge-based organizations.Limitations & Consequences: Research limitations include difficult access to sample members and the time it takes to collect information from them, as well as the lack of literature and theoretical foundations related to agile leadership style.

Identifying and prioritizing the antecedents and consequences of agile leadership Style.Innovation or value of the Article: Agile leadership is a new concept in the leadership and management literature and research in this field is very limited in the country, so the present study by identifying the factors affecting this leadership style and its consequences, can also be a basis for further research and provide guidance for leaders and managers of knowledge-based organizations to make appropriate use of this leadership style.

The specialization of calligraphy is among the most complex specialties, skills and arts; It is therefore very difficult to pursue sound and effective policy-making, which necessitates the establishment of a laboratory to develop, implement and evaluate policies designed to be implemented in the community. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explain the design pattern of the line laboratory.

In this research, with a qualitative research approach and a hybrid tool that includes weekly steps, a systematic evaluation and analysis of the results and findings of the previous research has been done.

The design model of the calligraphy laboratory in the form of 8 main categories, according to important study areas such as calligraphy problem diagnosis, calligraphy laboratory staff, calligraphy laboratory stakeholders, the role of calligraphy laboratory in government, calligraphy laboratory programs, location of calligraphy laboratory, physical space of calligraphy laboratory and the expected output of the line laboratory is provided. Therefore, in order to identify the problems of community unity, policy laboratories should be established with the presence of policy experts as well as stakeholders in different areas of the country with appropriate facilities and physical space to identify community problems with proper planning and with the cooperation of the group. Different research institutes to find solutions to these problems and implement the explained policies in cooperation with the state and the government.Limitations and consequences: One of the limitations of this research is the lack of similar work and the lack of completely familiar experts with the subject of policy laboratory design.

Qualitative research, with all its advantages, comes with weaknesses in generalizability and validity. Therefore, in order to increase the generalizability of this research, it is necessary for researchers to evaluate the above model in other high-risk industries. Another consequence of this model is that if the policy experts use this model, a laboratory with a suitable physical and environmental space by employing appropriate staff and stakeholders to explain practical solutions to society's problems will be made In general, there will be a place for the intersection of discourse between knowledgeable experts in various aspects of a major community problem, which can solve many problems and prevent many negative consequences in the community.

Considering that in this study, a model for creating a policy laboratory has been developed, using the model of this study can make the process of designing and developing macro policies more operational. Therefore, the added value of this study can be considered as facilitating the policy-making process in the context of the policy laboratory by following the components and indicators of the proposed model. On the other hand, the raw model obtained from the study of texts by the meta-combined method can be used as a basis for future research in order to build tools and practical guidelines for those in charge of the policy laboratory. This research is very innovative and will make a great contribution to knowledge enhancement in the country.

Entrepreneurship is one of the key factors in economic development and a key indicator in the development of growing societies. What motivates the entrepreneur to start an entrepreneurial activity is entrepreneurial motivation. Entrepreneurial motivation is the process of transforming an ordinary person into an entrepreneur who can create opportunities and help maximize wealth and economic development. The purpose of this study is to identify and classify the motivations of entrepreneurs.

This research has been done with a systematic review approach and using a six-cell matrix in two components for motivation (traction or pressure) and sources of motivating (economic, psychological or social).

According to the six-cell matrix, the highest frequency of motivations identified are: psychological traction motives with 61%, economic traction motives with 21.1%, social traction motives with 6.2%, psychological compulsive motives with 9.2%, Social pressure motives 2% and economic pressure motives 5%. Shows the percentage distribution of motivations.

The cultural context and demographic characteristics of entrepreneurs are not separated in this studyPractical Consequences: Identifying and classifying their motivations and focusing and strengthening these motivations in the programs of policy makers and planners will lead to economic and social development.Innovation or value of the Article: According to the new model, entrepreneurs' motivations are classified into two components: motivation and motivation source.
