It will be a dynamic and sustainable government that, with structural changes, adapts itself to constantly changing conditions and, while maintaining its identity and survival, can move towards its goals. The text of the constitution responds to the cross-cutting needs of political societies. Since the needs and requirements change with the dynamics and developments of society, the constitution must move to adapt to the new conditions by accepting amendments. Therefore, before taking any action in this regard, the status of the current structure should be examined. Our aim in this article is to study the significance of the governmental structure hidden in the constitution of the country from a systemic and sustainable perspective and using a scientific and practical method. The relationship between them was identified and then the constitutional structure of government was examined. After examining and diagnosing complications on the exploratory structure, this structure was largely diagnosed as viable, as well as frequent errors in viable systems on it.

The purpose of this study is to design and implement an effective performance management system in a public financial Fund using the Socratic method and dialogues. The first stage of the study seeks to intervene using this method while identify performance criteria and indicators and in the second stage, based on the findings of the previous stage, the purpose is to investigate the impact of interventions on staff performance, employees' perception of supervisor’s behaviors in the performance management process, and PM-related behavioral and attitudinal consequences. As an explorative mixed method, this study has used the method of dialogue and questioning approach as an intervention technique to extract the key criteria and performance indicators. In the second stage, in order to investigate the effect of the interventions, a quasi-experimental design with unequl groups consisting of three experimental groups, control 1 and control 2 was used. A sample of 166 people was selected from the three groups so that 53 people were selected for the intervention group, 68 people for the control group 1, and 45 people for the control group 2. In the qualitative stage, performance criteria were identified, reviewed, and modified. In the quasi-experimental study section, post-test results showed that employees who effectively participated in the process of designing and implementing the performance management system performed better than the control groups.

For a long time, communities have faced many problems, among which, management problems have been very important. These problems, due to their multidimensionality and complexity, can affect other dimensions as well. Therefore, it is necessary to identify and examine them with great attention and accuracy. The purpose of this study is to identify and prioritization public administration problems in the Islamic Republic of Iran, which examines the problems using a mixed method. An outline of this research, according to the purpose, subject, and approach of the research; It is a partially mixed sequential dominant status design. In three quantitative-qualitative-quantitative stages, three methods of "quantitative content analysis- thematic analysis - modified Delphi analysis" have been used to investigate the problems. In the first stage, using the method of quantitative content analysis, the thesis and dissertations topics of the first level universities of the country were reviewed and 329 management topics were identified and reviewed. In the second stage, using the qualitative method of thematic analysis and 12 interviews with experts, 250 key points, 72 basic themes, 40 organizing themes and 39 global themes were identified. In order to understand the problems, they were classified into 36 main problems, each of which they fell into political, economic, cultural, social, law and legal categories. Finally, in the third stage, these problems were prioritized using the modified Delphi method. Based on the findings and studies, the results show that the main cause of public administration problems is the decision-making structure and inefficient administrative-executive system.

The aim of this research is to evaluate the effects of showcase performance in the stability of two-dimensional learning. The research is mixed in terms of developmental-applied goal, and in terms of data collection method. In the qualitative part, based on meta-composite analysis processes, an attempt was made to identify the research related to the two concepts of showcase performance and two-dimensional learning. And then the components and themes of the research are determined based on the critical evaluation scale. Also, in the continuation of the qualitative part, Delphi analysis was used to determine the level of theoretical consensus of the components and themes. In the quantitative part, with the aim of determining the most effective two-dimensional learning component of the effects of showcase performance, intuitive fuzzy evaluation was used. In the qualitative part of the research, 14 people from the research experts in the field of public administration participated and 24 people from the managers of Alborz water and sewage company filled in the matrix questionnaires in the quantitative part. The data was analyzed with Excel software. The results of the qualitative part indicate the existence of 4 themes of negative effects of showcase management and 5 components of two-dimensional learning. The results of the quantitative part based on the fuzzy VICOR analysis showed that the frustration of human resources is considered as the most influential theme of the negative effect of showcase performance in Alborz Water and Sewerage Company, which can cause interference in the sustainability of two-dimensional learning. Also, the most important influential component of the negative effects of showcase performance, especially the frustration of human resources, innovation and creativity is the water and sewage company of Alborz province.

Coaching is one of the significant approaches in human resource development and the coach needs to get familiar with principles and rules of coaching to apply the appropriate educational patterns according to personal learning content and style. Therefore, this study has been conducted with the aim of designing and evaluating the coaching model in the workplace using a combined-exploratory approach and using a systematic design of grounded theory in the qualitative section. For this purpose, while conducting open interviews with 22 academic and executive experts, a set of basic topics were collected during the open coding process, and categories were extracted from them. Then, in the axial coding stage, the relationship between these categories in the form of titles (causal conditions, axial phenomena, strategies, intervening conditions, contextual conditions and consequences) was determined in the form of coding paradigm. Then, in the selective coding stage, each component of the coding paradigm was described and a theory was created. In the quantitative part, a researcher-made questionnaire taken from the qualitative part of the research was distributed among the managers and experts of Isfahan Mobarakeh Steel Company by stratified-random sampling method. The sample size was calculated 282 with using of the Tabachnik and Fidell formulas. To ensure that the required valid data is obtained, 499 questionnaires were distributed, of which, 372 questionnaires were returned and analyzed. Using the structural equation model by Amos24 software, the governing relations and fitting of all the main conditions of the designed quality model were evaluated and finally approved.

The Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) published by Transparency International over recent years sheds light on Iran's unfavorable ranking. The present research develops an Electronic government (e-Government) model that emphasizes countering corruption in Iran. It prioritizes the critical parameters in countering corruption to establish the comprehensive structure of e-Government. Thus, this study is developmental and applied in terms of its goals. It draws on the Exploratory sequential mixed methodology and follows a descriptive correlational research design. The statistical population in the qualitative section consists of experts, whereas the quantitative part studies the relevant staff and university professors. The qualitative phase relies on judgment sampling, with the quantitative phase utilizing cluster sampling and semi-structured interviews. The quantitative and fuzzy Delphi phase employs questionnaires with closed-ended questions. Reliability was calculated through the retest reliability method and was verified using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Theme analysis and the Fuzzy Delphi method were used to analyze the data. Findings suggest that Information Technology (IT), network accessibility, regulations, C2G, B2G, and G2G services, and human capital constitute critical priorities in establishing an e-Government to counter corruption.
