The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of supply chain dynamics and flexibility in the face of disruptions on financial performance with the mediating role of supply chain resilience.

The present study is descriptive-correlational in terms of applied purpose and in terms of data collection. The statistical sample of the present study is 217 business managers of pharmaceutical companies according to the formula for determining the sample size of Cochran, observing the success ratio in this research and considering the error coefficient of 0.05. All extracted data are analyzed using SPSS23 and SmartPls statistical software in the inferential statistics section. Analysis of variance-based structural equations has been used to analyze the data.

The results of the study show that the dynamics and flexibility of the supply chain in the face of disruptions affect financial performance with the mediating role of supply chain resilience. Supply chain flexibility is also affected by the direction of supply chain disruption. However, the effects of financial performance on supply chain disruption orientation can be controlled through supply chain flexibility.

Originality/Value: 

The results of this study will be useful for designing a strategic resilience plan for pharmaceutical companies, Accordingly, it proposes to supply chain managers that when faced with disruptions, increase the dynamics and flexibility of the supply chain to improve network resilience.

In supply chain management, decision making for supplier selection is a key issue that has become a strategic goal for organizations in recent years. The problem of supplier selection due to multiplicity and variety of qualitative and quantitative indicators is a multi-attribute decision-making problem and can be used known techniques in solving the problem. The present study tries to explain and prioritize the indices of supplier’s assessment with a meta-synthesis approach.

In this article, the most effective evaluation indicators of suppliers are examined. The research started by reviewing 467 titles of articles and then by evaluating them, 282 articles were selected by using the meta-synthesis approach. By analyzing them, supplier evaluation indicators were classified into 5 dimensions, 19 sub-dimensions and 112 components, and their effect coefficient was determined using Shannon entropy method.

The results showed that price, quality, on-time delivery, revenue, organizational structure, human resource management, energy management, environmental management, customer orientation and green management indices were identified as the most effective indicators in evaluating the suppliers.

Originality/Value: 

Supplier selection and evaluation play an imperative role in creating an effective supply chain. The production process has changed over the years from the production of most products to the outsourcing of major accessories. Obviously, suppliers have a key role to play in producing a product. The manufacturer must be careful when choosing a supplier. Therefore, identification, evaluation, and selection of suppliers are imperative. The results showed that by identifying and evaluating the indicators of supply chain suppliers, companies can gain a significant competitive advantage.

With the researches done on the megaprojects of the country, one of the main factors of failure can be sought in their project management. Modern aircraft design and construction projects are complex projects known as megaprojects. In this research, a model for managing complex megaprojects in this industry is presented.

This research is a type of combined research (qualitative-quantitative) and for this purpose, while interviewing aviation experts, the features of aerial megaprojects are identified and coded by MAXQDA2020 software and then the indicators identified in a questionnaire from experts related to the project. Using SMARTPLS3 software, classification and ranking of components and indicators were performed.

In this regard, the designed model has two dimensions as features and management of the megaproject and 10 main components and 40 indicators were classified and ranked. Finally, the most important main component was strategy management.

Originality/Value:

 In this study, considering the importance of aerial projects and the fact that the country has moved towards the design and construction of native birds and several projects in this field have been defined and completed, the characteristics of complex megaprojects in the aircraft design and construction industry are determined. And has designed for the first time an appropriate model for evaluating the management of complex megaprojects in the aircraft design and construction industry.

Business communities significantly promote free trade and trade security, so that joining the business community is essential for their long-term development. Therefore, the aim of the research was to form an international trade community based on network theory and resource dependence.

Twenty countries were selected as a sample from the countries that engage in international trade and based on the data available from the Comtrade database of the United Nations in the period of 2005-2019.

The results showed: 1) the trading partner factor has a positive effect on the formation of international trading communities, that's mean when a country cooperates with a large number of trading partners or has a dominant position in the international trade network, the probability of the country forms the same community with other countries is higher, 2) when a country considers itself dependent on the resources of other countries, the possibility of forming a similar community with other countries increases accordingly and 3) network position plays positive role in regulating the relationship between resource dependence and the international trade community.

Originality/Value: 

Countries that can boost resource trade based on the factor of economic freedom and diversity of the importing country can reduce their dependence on other countries.

Leaders also use the indicators of spirituality in the organization or group to provide a kind of internal motivation for the external motivation of its employees. Spiritual and value-based leaders deepen the duties and activities of followers in the organization or group by relating them to their deep inner values. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the dimensions of spiritual leadership and job motivation of Shahrekord education staff.

The statistical population of all education staff in Shahrekord city in 1399-98 was 335 people were selected as a sample by the classification method appropriate to the volume. The research instruments included two standard questionnaires of Herbert's job motivation and a modified questionnaire of spiritual leadership by Fry [17].

There is a significant relationship between seven dimensions of spiritual leadership (vision, love of altruism, faith in work, meaning in work, organizational membership) with job motivation of education staff, but between the other two dimensions of spiritual leadership, i.e., organizational commitment and performance feedback has nothing to do with employee motivation. In fact, the more the components of meaningful leadership are applied in the atmosphere of an educational organization and the decisions, procedures, policies and missions of education are formulated and implemented based on the dimension of spiritual leadership, the more job motivation will be among the employees of this educational organization. Originality/Value: The results of this research can be used by managers, experts and researchers. 

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between poverty and corruption in the middle east countries over the years 1390-1398 using the Granger - Granger causality test, grenger and Yamamoto in the panel data.

The population studied in this study includes the countries of the middle east. Data panel data on these countries has been collected from reliable international sources, including the world bank, which was tested using Eviews software. the variables used in this study include comparative poverty, corruption, gross domestic production variables, labor force, inflation rate, unemployment rate and wage growth rate.

The results of the study show that the relationship between poverty and corruption in the middle east countries is a one-way causality relationship from poverty to corruption in the middle east countries, meaning that by increasing poverty, corruption increases. This unilateral causality relationship is confirmed unilateral in both causality approaches.Originality/Value: The results showed that by providing proper training, the government could prevent a lot of crruptions and also increase public awareness by creating educational bases at the level of countries and easy access to it for the general public. Then, the government considering the problems of all classes of people, motivates them as much as possible to go less towards corruption.
