To begin with, the chaos theory is used to understand and predict random attitudes of complex systems concerning the nonlinear reciprocal effect of their components. Besides, the pivotal point of chaotic systems is that they are sensitive even to the minimal changes in the primary conditions of complex organizations. One of the procedures of modeling framework improvement prone to chaos theory is paying attention to the role of communication canals that are the main elements of complexity of modem organizations. In this article, on communication networks of individuals within the organization in the complicated type, the capability of complexity of organization is being studied, using the chaos theory. In addition, the purpose of the mentioned issue is not its remedy. Quite the contrary, it is a comparison about the communication structures of multi-agent organizations through determining the probability entropy and measuring uncertainty function prone to the significance of prediction and accounting of complexity and using the matching probability function with the new projects in communicational canals and also the capabilities of the individuals within the data processing. However, using the concepts and accounting based on the actual data and functions determined by Polay's approach and accounting entropy of functions, the model is expected to predict and affect the integral attitude in co-ordination with the complexity. Consequently, the results show that the flexible communicational networks are necessarily proportionate with any project in any particular period of time and with the capabilities of individuals and instruments involved in the project. In conclusion, it is not sufficient to use one particular ultimate network in the management of the

The efforts of governments and organization to stay active at internal, regional and international scenes of competition and making use of affective management to fulfill the needs of customers, resulted in a new school of thought, i.e., New Public Management (NPM. NPM itself led to two different categories of issues at micro level (including downsizing, reengineering and continuous improvement) and macro level (good government and governance).
Following these changes, the issue of downsizing the public sector
through privatization, merging of different organizations and conglomeration of activities, became so popular in Iran.
The current research trying to test the following goals:
1. Goals of the charter of Management and Planning Organization including:
• Better accomplishment of the missions
• Decreasing the parallel duties
• Increasing the capability of employees
2. Goals expected of downsizing and merge of organizations including:
• cost reduction
• decreasing the number of employees
For the test of group I goals questionnaire and for the test of group 2 goals documents have been used.
By including 265 employees (from the society of 675) and 71
managers (out of 182), and through statistical methods of chi square and pearson correlation coefficient the group I goals have been tested. For the second group, the documents have been investigated.
The findings of the research revealed that the rate of ace nplishment of the first group of goals from employees and managers point of view was at average and less than average level, and two other goals ( cost and employee reduction) have not been achieved (as they were planned).

The management scientists have been trying to solve the problems of organizations. There are various aspects and methods for measuring the effectivness of a system. Specially managers like to determine the indexes of fact in their organization.
In this paper a new method and a new software is presented for calculating the fractal dimension of numerical systems in management. Fractal dimension software, which is prepared in windows area, utilize for systems with two parameters (x,y) or three parameters (x.y,z). In this method fractal dimension of outputs is determined. It is a linear relation between fractal dimension and chaos, therefore with arising the fractal dimension, the chaos of system will increases. As result in this method the effectiveness of a system can be studied. Finally, the applied of method is con finned with a case study of education system of a university.

What today is named Behavioral Sciences is not anything except a means for increasing efficiency and effectiveness. In other words, most behaviorists look at behavior as a means for achieving the organizational goals. In Islamic Management' attempts are made to improve those human behaviors which might help to get closer to the almighty. With such a position, the question is: what is the means of Islamic Management for increasing efficiency & effectiveness? Which way has offered for achieving the goals in organizations by Islam without using behavior as a means? Does Islam have any technique for this purpose or the Ollama should find the means (Feghh) and offer to people?

The leader with a functional perspective uses structures within the larger organization to get people to accomplish important tasks and commit themselves to organizational goals. In this article some examples have been discussed to demonstrate some of the ways in which managers can use the functional perspective to increase the performance and commitment of employees. If the manager views leader behavior as one of several structures capable of fulfilling task and maintenance functions, then he has a range of alternatives to choose from in maintaining effective employee performance and commitment. If performance is poor, is it because of too little or too much direction? if commitment is weak, is it because of too little support or because of a combination of too much support and too little direction? Once these and similar questions have been answered, the manager can begin to search for available, practical structures for remedying the inadequacies in any work situation. Some of the actions have been recommended are not generally thought of as part of leader behavior, nevertheless, they increase the likelihood that employees will perform well and commit themselves to the goals of the work group and, certainly, the manager who take steps to produce effective employee behavior is an effective leader.
