Moonlighting is a widespread and increasingly prevalent phenomenon in today's society, forcing human resources managers to develop new strategies for managing their workforce by deeply understanding this pervasive issue and its causes. Thus, the typology of moonlighting and its causes as well as alignment checks were the goals of the current study. In terms of its primary goal, the method utilized to collect qualitative data, and the Meta-synthesis methodology, this study is qualitative. For this purpose, a new configuration of the moonlighting phenomena was provided using the seven step model of Sandlovsky and Barroso. In this study, reliability was evaluated using Holstein's method, while validity was checked using Glynn's checklist. After examining and analyzing the results of the systematic review, four types of moonlighting—compulsory moonlighting, targeted moonlighting, full moonlighting, and hybrid moonlighting—as well as three categories of environmental, occupational, and individual antecedents—were discovered. After placing each type of moonlighting according to the components of the three antecedents, the moonlighting model was established as the cornerstone of organizational studies.

The strategy-as-practice view is one of the new, emerging and developing perspectives in the field of strategy research. This view places great emphasis on the study of language, and discourse in small and local areas. The study, relying on this approach and using thematic analysis, seeks to investigate how senior managers in large Iranian organizations use language to gain more legitimacy. The research after analyzing 43 interviews related to 31 people (population: 59 people) of senior managers of large organizations in Iran have reached saturation. The samples were obtained from a combination of convenience, purposive and theoretical sampling. Kappa coefficient was used to validate the research. Its number was 0.74. In the first step of coding, 61 open codes were identified. Finally, as a result of the second step or the axial coding, it was found that the managers of large Iranian organizations in order to legitimize themselves, their decisions and actions continuously use the six language patterns of "science, ethics, dependence, differentiation, order and future" in their statements, interviews, speeches, and the like and have institutionalized them. These language patterns sometimes have a constructive and functional role and many times they have a destructive and non-functional role.
