The aim of present research is to explore the environmental factors that affect the Iran’s parliament members’ perceptions in legislation process. To conduct the study, grounded theory approach was used. Judgmental Sampling method was applied and continued until theoretical saturation was reached. We gathered data using semi-structural interviews with sixteen parliament members and collecting parliament related documents. 53 codes, 9 concepts and 3 categories were emerged during coding process. The relationship between categories was described through six propositions which were grouped in two main propositions. The results show that the environmental factors that affect parliament members’ perception consist of two categories of external and internal environmental factors. External environmental factors include political-legal pressures, economic pressures, social-cultural pressures and technological pressures. Internal environmental factors include organizational structure and procedures, and organizational culture. Perception was the core category of the research which consists of two sub-categories of direct and indirect cognition and three concepts of sense-making, sense-giving and sense-breaking

The use of a single research method design can hardly bring to light multiple aspects of a social phenomenon. The interdisciplinary characteristics of organization and management, requires the student of the field to go beyond traditional approaches normally used in social science studies. The researcher has to apply triangulation in order to unmusk many facets of organizational phenomenon. This article argues that describing organizational elephant demands the researcher to use a pluralistic methodology. The authors try to present a conceptual framework to be used in carrying out a multimethod design in organizational studies.

Innovation is the putting aside of old patterns; for this purpose we must create an appropriate context. In this paper organizing for innovation, which is necessary for creating innovation, is studied. Any organization-cannot be able to create innovation; only "entrepreneurially organizations and adhocracy organizations" can create innovation. However, entrepreneurially organizations cannot create innovation at a high level, only adhocracy organizations can create innovation at a high level. In this study, two types of adhocracy are sought: operating adhocracy and administrative adhocracy.As a consequence, innovation is studied at small and large organizations.

The present research seeks to put to the fore Habermas's Communicative Action Theory as a decision framework supplanting existing decision - making models in managerial, economic, and consumer behavior disciplines. According to Habermas, rationality is not uni-dimensional and cannot be confined to its instrumental and strategic usages.
The Communicative Action Theory contends that results are not important per se but it is the process that assumes centrality. Therefore, and open view must be adopted towards the process and the results must be continuously viewed from a critical perspective. The Theory maintains that linguistic communication constitutes the essence of "communicative action." Habermas argues that we are constantly adopting a stance towards validity claims" inherent in communication. In this context, Habermas holds that human communication and especially dialogue are "rational" in essence. It is in this context that the present research seeks to reconstruct consumer decision-making model on the Web and to this end adopts the angulation approach, combining quantitative and qualitative research methods.

In Spite of the importance of marketing concept in public and non-profit organization as well as in private sectors, there is no evidence to show a sufficient attention among Iranian public organization. According to Developed countries researchers, these public organizations receives a number of considerable budget and their performances have so much effects on so many people however, unfortunately most of these organizations are not efficient and effective. As approved in developed countries researches, marketing discipline can help these organizations to deliver their services more and more effective to their customers. Nevertheless there are not sufficient practical approaches to show case the beneficial usage of marketing discipline in Iranian organizations. In this regard, based on a research which defined in a project in Iran Telecom Research Center (ITRC), we try to define an heuristic approach for defining a place strategy as a one the main marketing mixes. These heuristic approach then implemented in a Telecommunication company as a case study. This paper will present this heuristic approach and its implications in a case study, with hope to help other public organizations to more reliance on marketing discipline including place strategy.

Employees’ performance is always considered by the managers of the organizations to gain competitive advantage. Both job involvement and commitment of employees are necessary for organization. Transformational leaders can improve the efficiency of human resources. Therefore, they use their human resource strategy to enhance employees’ affective commitment and job involvement.
The present study investigated the relationship of human resource strategy and transformational leadership with affective commitment among employees of the Sina insurance company. It was a descriptive survey in terms of methodology and an applied study in terms of objective. For data collection, a questionnaire was administered to 92 participants selected by cluster random sampling. The hypotheses of the study were tested by structural equation modeling (SEM) using partial least squares (PLS). The results showed the positive, significant relationship of the human resources strategy and its dimensions with affective commitment and also the relationship of transformational leadership and its dimensions with affective commitment. The effect of the staff recruitment strategy and intellectual stimulation on affective commitment had the maximum factor loading in the theoretical model of the study.

Sometimes the climate of organization, as an organism, is impregnated to toxicity. Since this kind of climate conveys dysfunctional consequences to organization members, it is requisite to explore the dimensions and components of such a climate and also to develop an instrument to measure it. Thus, the aim of this paper is to develop and validate a questionnaire for measuring organizational toxic climate. In this regard, after studying literature, dimensions and components of mentioned concept were explored. Then a primary questionnaire was developed and after confirming its internal consistency distributed among 600 employees of administrative organizations in Arsanjan, Saadt-Shahr, and Marvdasht based on disproportionate stratified sampling. In order to test the primary validity of measure and avoid the threat of common method variance, exploratory factor analysis and Harman single-factor test were deployed respectively. To validate the questionnaire, stability and equivalence reliability and convergent and divergent validity were assessed. SPSS, Smart PLS, and Amos Graphics, were also uesd. As a result, the toxic physical structure, toxic interpersonal communication, toxic reward, reputation system, and toxic leadership were confirmed as the dimensions of toxic organizational climate. The final measure was a 5 point Likertquestionnaire with 57-items.
