This study primarily aims at determining the degree of impact of the revolutionary characteristics on empowerment of NAJA commanders and managers. The statistical population is composed of 1100 commanders and senior, middle and operational managers at NAJA selected as the research samples through cluster and systematic random sampling methods. Data were collected via a questionnaire. Validity of the research tools was confirmed by professors and experts and their reliability was put at 0.892 once tested and upon acquisition of the Cronbach’s alpha. Using Kolomogorov-Smirnov, Friedman and Kruskal-Wallis tests, the data gathered were analyzed. Results suggested that the revolutionary characteristics, including four factors, namely anti-oppression, people-orientation, idealism and insight, affected empowerment of commanders and managers respectively with a mean of 82.3 on a 100-point scale. Moreover, among the factors studied, anti-oppression had the most level of impact on empowerment. Middle and operational managers considered the degree of impact of anti-oppression on empowerment to be more than factors, whereas senior managers regarded idealism as the most influential.

This study aims to examine the level of impact of inspection and supervisory measures on accuracy of the staff’s performance and to identify suitable methods of supervision and inspection with the purpose of improving personnel performance accuracy. To this end, capability of three methods, namely (1) prospective inspection and supervision (before action), (2) inspection and supervision at action time, and (3) retrospective inspection and supervision (after action) employed by Iran’s Border Police personnel was taken into account. Research method is descriptive, and the tool for data collection is questionnaire, and the statistical population comprises 250 staff serving on a permanent basis in Iran’s Border Police, 150 of whom were randomly selected by means of Morgan’s method. Drawing on theoretical foundations, a 26-item questionnaire was designed in relation to the research hypothesis copies of which, having been confirmed in terms of validity and reliability, were distributed among the population. Finally, data were analyzed statistically, and results suggested that the method of prospective inspection and supervision (before action) was most effective in accuracy of the performance of Iran’s Border Police personnel.

In this study, in order to examine the relationship between commanders and managers’ emotional intelligence and their mental health, business performance and problem solving skills, a 240-member sample was drawn from among several specialized police departments. Then, their four characteristics were measured by means of four measurement indexes, which were duly reliable and valid. Findings were analyzed via Pearson’s correlation test and the regression analysis. Results suggested that (1) emotional intelligence had a significant correlation with all three variables, i.e. mental health, business performance and problem solving skill, (2) there was a significant relation between mental health and the other two variables, namely business performance and problem solving skill, and (3) out of the three variables (emotional intelligence, mental health and problem solving skill), the first one, i.e. emotional intelligence, contributed most to and the had the most impact on clarification of the variance of police business performance.

This study has been carried out on the basis on Mintzberg’s theory of triple communicative, decision-making and informational-management roles and with the purpose of clarifying different management roles and the relationship between their fulfillment and encouraging personnel’s discipline fundamentals. This study is practical and the method is descriptive and survey. The statistical population is composed of the personnel in the Police Command Center of Hormozgan Province. Research tools include a questionnaire developed on the basis of the one corrected by Tehrani. T-test and Friedman’s test were used for data analysis. Results suggest that out of the triple group of communicative, informational and decision-making roles outlined by Mintzberg, all three affected promotion of personnel’s discipline, yet differring in terms of level of impact and rank average, such that informational, communicative and decision-making roles had respectively the most effect on enhancing order and discipline.

The phenomenon of corruption exists in various forms in most societies, and this phenomenon is considered as anti-growth, since it makes competitiveness difficult and plays havoc with optimum allocation of resources at any organization. This study aims at exploring the subject of e-supervision and its conditions at supervisory organizations and how this means accessible to the organizations affects the goal of combating corruption. Research sample comprises 57 subjects selected randomly from among skillful managers and experts serving at the Inspection Organization. Results reveal that there is a positive, homogeneous relation between the three variables, suggesting that the acceleration and increased accuracy stemming from e-supervision have a positive impact on each other and reducing corruption as well. Almost 77.5% held that the process of supervision lacks enough speed and accuracy at present, emphasizing the need for reforms in this process and enhancing its accuracy and speed. 75% responded positively to such a need for e-supervision.

This study was carried out in sum with the purpose of presenting a mathematical model for succession of the managers and commanders of NAJA in order to achieve long-term organizational goals, avoid enormous costs caused by appointing unqualified managers, impose personal taste in appointing and encourage rule-orientation culture in the organization. The statistical population comprises 100 subjects from among middle managers at the Police Command Center of Khuzestan Province. While examining the process of management succession, an attempt has been in this study to select a model for managers’ succession through combining mathematical techniques and by means of multiple-criterion decision-making. Given the multiple goals in planning for NAJA management succession, multiple-objective decision-making models were used, thereby selecting a model which would be solved via GP ideal planning approach. Research method is descriptive-analytical based on the content, and is practical in terms of nature. Results suggest that the multiple-criterion model along with the GP ideal planning approach is a suitable model for making plans for management succession in the area in question due to capability of problem solving and achieving results.

Since the limits of modern society allow a small number of citizens to reside, public media have changed into major institutions of the general and supervisory areas. In the structure of constitutional law and laws of the Islamic Republic of Iran, organs and systems play an important role in controlling efficiency of officials and preventing their perversions and abuses. In this respect, media are regarded as a group of efficient means in this area, which supervise ruling on people’s behalf and as their representatives. This article principally aims to examine the role of audio-visual media in public supervision. In this study, carried out by means of documentation method, functions of the press and audio-visual media in public supervision are first examined once supervision has been defined and its types are clarified. Media systems and public supervision and their role in developing public supervision are among the issues discussed in this article.
