In order to institutionalize the policies of the statement of the second step of the Islamic revolution and to design a management model based on the key points of the said statement, as well as to pay attention to the fact that all government organizations and institutions derive their legitimacy from the Supreme Leader and they also issue general policies, the present study It was carried out with the aim of "designing a disciplinary management model based on the policies of the second step".

The current research was an exploratory mixed method study. In the qualitative part of the research, the documentary method and thematic analysis were carried out, and after performing the open and axial coding, the final components were extracted and the matrix of the equations of the interpretive structure was formed for the design of the studied model.

The statement policies of the second step were identified in the form of 105 concepts and 11 final components, which were designed by forming the equation matrix of the interpretive structure of the model in five levels.

According to the findings of the research, the above-mentioned model, using extractive components, includes the following levels: First level: 1) avoiding the aristocracy of law enforcement managers and 2) non-westernization of law enforcement officials; Second level: 1) brave, jihadist and selfless police commanders; 2) spiritualism of law enforcement management and 3) promising realism in law enforcement plans; The third level: preserving the values and slogans of the Islamic Revolution; Fourth level: 1) religious and political insight of police commanders; 2) opportunism, ability orientation and conscientiousness in the appointment of commanders and 3) justice and moderation; The fifth level: 1) program-oriented and pragmatic in police operations and 2) predicting and preventing and fighting police crimes.

Skills training is a set of teachings that lead to the creation of a skill repository in the mind and behavioral system of the individual under training, preparing them for agency and deep influence in the work environment. This research was conducted with the aim of representing commanders' experiences of influential factors on skills training in border education centers of the Islamic Republic of Iran's law enforcement command. The present study, in terms of purpose, application, and in terms of the nature of the data and the method of execution, is a qualitative phenomenological research. The data collection tool was semi-structured interviews. The participants in the study were 12 commanders, managers, and experts of border education centers, and the sampling was purposive until theoretical saturation was reached. Four criteria recommended by Guba and Lincoln were used to assess the internal and external validity of the research results and were confirmed. Atlas.ti software was used to analyze the research data. The findings showed that influential factors on skills training consist of 65 basic concepts, eleven organizing concepts, and four comprehensive concepts, including professional competence of instructors, learner characteristics, training conditions, and organizational factors. The research results indicated that for the successful implementation of effective and efficient skills training and empowering learners in education centers, it is better for border commanders to identify the necessary infrastructures for the implementation of skills training based on the identified indigenous components and to use them properly with proper management.

Today's world witnesses significant advancements in various fields of knowledge and technology. Police body cameras are one such technology equipped by the Iranian police. This research aimed to investigate the impact of body cameras on emotional labor and occupational burnout of police officers and to elucidate the mediating role of perceived organizational support. This research is applied in terms of objective and survey-based in terms of data collection method. The statistical population of the study consisted of police officers of the Law Enforcement Command in Hamadan province, and a sample of 124 officers was selected using simple random sampling method. Data were collected using a standardized and validated questionnaire (with a factor loading greater than 0.70 and Cronbach's alpha higher than 0.70) and analyzed using structural equation modeling in PLS software. The research revealed that the direct impact of body cameras on emotional labor and occupational burnout of police officers is positive and significant, while the impact on perceived organizational support of police officers is negative and significant. Additionally, the indirect effect of body cameras on emotional labor of police officers with the mediating role of perceived organizational support was confirmed; however, the indirect positive effect of body cameras on occupational burnout of police officers with the mediating role of perceived organizational support was also confirmed. The use of body cameras leads to an increase in emotional labor of police officers, decreases perceived organizational support, and increases their occupational burnout; therefore, managing the effects of using these cameras on police officers requires serious attention.

The acceptance of organizational management by employees can play a constructive role in increasing public trust and their level of communication with management. Therefore, attention to the concept of acceptance, or popularity, in organizational studies is of considerable importance. In this present research, with a focus on the role of this issue in organizational management, efforts were made to introduce the reasons for the creation and preservation of acceptance for government managers and officials based on the recommendations of Amir al-Mu'minin Imam Ali (peace be upon him).

This research, using a religious approach in management topics and employing content analysis method as one of the commonly used qualitative research methods, examined the letters of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) to government officials in the noble book Nahj al-Balagha. In the first stage, 148 initial codes were extracted, and then the explicit and implicit content of each code was identified. Finally, after removing similar and repetitive themes, 61 themes were categorized into separate classes.

The research findings indicated that enhancing the acceptance of government officials requires attention to two components consisting of personal matters, including spiritual qualities and ethical behaviors, and administrative matters, meaning administrative behaviors of the official.

For a government official to achieve acceptance, they must possess personal and administrative competency. In this sense, from the personal and genuine dimension, some spiritual and practical ethical qualities in their behavior, such as kindness, humility, fairness, as well as avoiding narrow-mindedness, arrogance, and deception, alongside other necessary indicators, are essential. From the legal perspective as a competent administrative actor, the adoption and institutionalization of certain administrative behaviors, such as stability in decision-making, meritocracy, accessibility to employees, freedom of expression and criticism in the work environment, as well as avoiding flattery, bias, and categorization for advancing goals, alongside other constructive administrative behaviors, are necessary.

Various methods for research needs assessment have been proposed, and selecting the appropriate model can be a significant issue. Therefore, the aim of the current research was to develop an optimal model for research needs assessment in the executive agencies of Lorestan Province. This applied research was conducted with an exploratory nature and a mixed approach. The statistical population included documents and records available in the executive agencies of Lorestan Province, national and international experiences in the field of research needs assessment models, and experts knowledgeable about the subject matter. The sampling method was purposive in the document and resource section and purposive in the interview and validation section. The research tool in the qualitative section was fishbone diagramming and interviewing. The quantitative section used a researcher-made questionnaire with 24 items, and Content Validity Ratio (CVR) was used to examine content validity. The results ultimately led to the design of a research needs assessment model that can be utilized in executive agencies. The model consists of two sections: identification of research needs, including six stages, and prioritization of research needs, including five stages. Attention to the scientific structure in research needs assessment and moving beyond the current perspective can be enlightening. There are some missing links that have been addressed in the mentioned stages, and attention to them can lead to better results.

Ensuring societal order and security in crisis and non-normal conditions poses challenges to organizations responsible for it. Law enforcement command is one of the organizations that, according to its legal duties and organizational missions, was required to continue the services provided under pre-COVID-19 conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic, which reduced unit capacity and posed qualitative and quantitative challenges to law enforcement services. The aim of this study was to investigate and study the management challenges of law enforcement units during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Special Law Enforcement Command of Western Tehran Province. This research, in terms of objective, is applied research, and in terms of method of execution and data collection, is qualitative. For data collection, a semi-structured interview tool was used. The participants in the research were selected from among the commanders and managers of law enforcement in the Special Law Enforcement Command of Western Tehran Province, who had managerial experience in provincial law enforcement affairs during the spread and pandemic of the COVID-19 virus. Fourteen individuals were selected through purposive sampling based on theoretical saturation approach. The texts of the interviews were coded, and then the data were analyzed and interpreted using content analysis method. Based on the responses of the participants in the research, a total of 38 internal organizational challenges and 17 external organizational challenges in the management of law enforcement units during the COVID-19 pandemic were identified in the Special Law Enforcement Command of Western Tehran Province. The results showed that the most fundamental management challenges of law enforcement units during the COVID-19 pandemic are related to the areas of human resources, equipment and facilities, organizational structure and missions, as well as weaknesses in inter-organizational cooperation and coordination in the implementation of COVID-19 specific guidelines. It is necessary for the overall law enforcement command and the law enforcement of Western Tehran Province to adopt more appropriate and precise planning for managing law enforcement units in similar COVID-19 situations and to systematically pursue interaction and coordination with other organizations.

Special unit as a force that has the important task of establishing security، In order to increase effectiveness and efficiency, skill-oriented training of employees is needed. In order to implement skill-oriented trainings in the special unit, there are always many challenges that the officials of the special units have to prepare the employees to perform the missions. Therefore, this thesis was conducted with the aim of identifying the challenges of skill-based training in special police units.

This research is applied in terms of purpose, descriptive-analytical in terms of data collection, and qualitative in terms of research method. The statistical population includes experts, deputies and commanders of the special police unit. To select the sample, a purposeful or judgmental sampling method was used, which reached saturation with 26 people.

In open coding, 53 items were extracted from the conducted interviews. Core codes including challenges related to equipment and facilities, financial resources and credits, professors and trainers, learners, texts and resources and planning were obtained. In the selected codes, the challenges of human capital (equipment, facilities, financial resources, credits) and organizational capital (professors and trainers, learners, texts and resources and planning) were classified.

For the development of skill-based training, the special units of Faraja are facing two main challenges, including the challenges of human capital and organizational capital. From the respondents' point of view, the role of human capital challenges is more important than the challenges of organizational capital.
