  Financial supply is one of the key factors for the growth and survival of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This research focuses on identifying and prioritizing the components of financial supply for SMEs. To achieve this, an artificial neural network (ANN) is used as an advanced method. The study consists of three main phases. Firstly, through a review of the literature on the subject, the components of financial supply for SMEs were identified. Then, by using surveys and gathering data from experts and managers of SMEs in Iran, the necessary data for training the neural network were collected. Finally, by analyzing the data using the neural network, the components of financial supply for SMEs were determined based on their priorities. The results showed that the most important components of financial supply for SMEs, in order of priority, are: investment, internal financial supply methods, and external financial supply. This research can help SME managers and decision-makers choose the best financial supply strategies for the growth and development of their businesses. Additionally, the results of this research can assist policymakers and economic planners in identifying and implementing appropriate support policies for SMEs.

The purpose of the present study was the interpretative structural modeling of citizen-centered development indicators in Zanjan Municipality. This study is based on the practical purpose and from the perspective of the method, it is in the field of mixed studies with the inductive-deductive approach. Identification of citizen-centered development indicators was done through semi-structured interviews based on theoretical saturation with professors and specialists in policy making, public administration and urban administration. The validity and reliability of the interviews were confirmed by the method of relative content validity and Cohen's kappa index, respectively. In order to model citizen-oriented development indicators, the opinions of managers and employees of Zanjan municipality, numbering 61 people, were used with the convenience sampling method available and with the help of a questionnaire. Validity and reliability of the questionnaire were confirmed using content validity and test-post-test method. The coding of the resulting data using the 2020 MaxQda software led to the identification of 13 citizen-oriented development indicators. Modeling of the identified indicators with interpretative structural method led to the formation of eight levels, where attention to public interest was the most effective and synergy between citizens and local governments was the most impressionable factor.

The present research aims to design a career path model with regard to the impact of green human resources and social responsibility in the General Department of Cooperative, Labor and Social Welfare of Fars province, based on a mixed study and with a sequential-exploratory approach. The statistical population of the research includes academic experts and experts in the field of human resources management in the General Directorate of Cooperation, Labor and Social Welfare of Fars Province. Data analysis in the qualitative part was analyzed by Delphi method and Maxqda software, and the results led to the production of a questionnaire for the quantitative part. This questionnaire includes three components of career path in seven dimensions, green human resources in seven dimensions and social responsibility in four dimensions, 18 dimensions and 84 questions. The statistical population of the present research in the quantitative part is 190 employees of the General Administration of Cooperative, Labor and Social Welfare of Fars province, who were selected from among the 375 employees by one-stage cluster random method. It is necessary to explain that in order to collect the questionnaire information, two online and manual methods were used to collect the required information. Spss and Amos software were used in this section (quantitative) to analyze the data collected from the questionnaire. Results Both variables of the research, including green human resources (independent variable) and social responsibility (moderating variable) have a positive and significant effect on career path work.

In today’s competitive environment, it is important to identify and manage effective factors for employee productivity. This study aims to identify and prioritize effective factors for improving employee productivity using a group version of the best-worst method (i.e., GBWM) at RAPCO Company. First, the factors were examined based on an in-depth review of the relevant literature, and then divided into individual, professional, and organizational aspects, taking into account the viewpoints of experts. Then, the final weighting was determined using the GBWM. The result shows that the occupational factor ranks first among the main aspects with a coefficient weight of 0.655. In addition, “job satisfaction” (0.279), “reward and promotion tools” (0.154), and “job security and mental peace” (0.149) ranked first to third. In addition, “establishing useful working relationships with others”, “resourcefulness", and “professional ethics” were identified as the least important effective factors in improving employee productivity at RAPCO Company. In general, consideration of the importance of ranking and effectiveness of key factors in improving human resource productivity by managers of manufacturing companies leads to better employee performance.

This study was done with the aim of drawing a scientific mapping of transformational leadership research and the mediating role of knowledge sharing behavior in the relationship between transformational leadership and the fit of the individual and the organization with the innovative work behavior of school teachers in Euclid city. The statistical population of this research is made up teachers of Euclid city, whose number is about 1300 people. In order to select the sample size, a sample of 296 people was selected using the Cochran formula. In order to measure innovative work behavior, knowledge sharing behavior, transformational leadership and person-organization fit, Sudbijo and Pramiswari (2021) questionnaire was used. The reliability of the questionnaire was examined and confirmed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient and composite reliability and its validity by construct and content validity. Research hypotheses were analyzed using the structural equation modeling technique. The results of the research indicated that transformational leadership has a positive and significant effect on innovative work behavior, knowledge sharing behavior, and individual organizational behavior. Also, knowledge sharing behavior has a positive and significant effect on innovative behavior. The fit of the individual to the organization has a positive and significant effect on knowledge sharing behavior, but not on innovative behavior. Also, knowledge sharing behavior plays a mediating role in the relationship between transformational leadership and the fit of the individual and the organization with innovative work behavior.
