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.

This study aimed to present an organizational health model based on the behavioral economics approach in Isfahan Municipality. By using an exploratory mixed research design (qualitative phase: grounded theory with 18 semi-structured interviews, quantitative phase: survey with 272 employees), effective factors were identified in the form of causal conditions (economic incentives, cognitive biases, social capital), contextual conditions (organizational culture, policies, work environment) and intervening conditions (training, rewards, leadership). The designed strategies, including nudge interventions, infrastructure development and improvement of communication skills, led to significant outcomes: a 22% increase in productivity (p<0.05), a 30% reduction in costs and a 35% improvement in mental health indicators. The findings showed that small changes based on behavioral economics (such as modifying the physical environment and positive feedback) at low cost have a significant impact on organizational health. This study adds to the existing literature in three ways: (1) localizing behavioral economics models in Iran, (2) providing empirical evidence of the impact of environmental reforms, and (3) developing an integrative framework. The main limitation was the focus on a single government organization, which limits generalizability. This model can help similar organizations implement cost-effective solutions.

Developing the characteristics of "organizational development agents" and promoting them is one of the topics that has been less studied in the field of management, and media organizations have not been exempted from it. The present qualitative research aims to clarify and conceptualize "organizational development agents" and their role in facilitating transformation and change in the IRIB using the application of content analysis and the Delphi approach., face validity was determined based on the application of experts' opinions. Research reliability was determined through consensus of participants and providing staged feedback. The results show that the personal development program, legality, and organizational commitment are among the most important providers of the need for organizational transformation, and the enhancers of the organizational transformation process, including the support of the guardians and supporters of the transformation, meritocracy, dedication to work, creating a discourse of transformation, and succession planning, are compared to the limiters of the organizational transformation process, including invalid recruitment and selection, lack of transformational thinking in managers, incompetence, anti-elitist behavior, lack of commitment and organizational belonging, lack of support and reinforcement of the organization's managers, and organizational indifference in the IRIB.

Grounded in the pragmatist paradigm and employing an inductive–deductive approach, this study was conducted as an exploratory mixed-method research (qualitative–quantitative). The primary objective was to a model of intelligent performance management in new ventures, placing the study within the category of applied–developmental research. Methodologically, it adopts a descriptive strategy through a cross-sectional survey.In the qualitative phase, data were collected via semi-structured interviews with 12 experienced managers of new ventures, selected using purposive sampling until theoretical saturation was reached. In the quantitative phase, a sample of 140 managers and experts from these ventures was selected using cluster-random sampling. Data collection tools included semi-structured interviews and a researcher-designed questionnaire. Qualitative data were analyzed through thematic analysis using MAXQDA software, and quantitative data were examined using Partial Least Squares method via SmartPLS software.Findings indicate that components such as strategic intelligence, organizational culture, and digital technology and transformation significantly influence data analytics, intelligent decision-making, and intelligent human capital management. These, in turn, enhance intelligent performance management. Moreover, intelligent performance management exerts a significant impact on organizational agility, innovation, and product development. Ultimately, outcomes such as marketing performance and branding, customer management, and user experience contribute to improved financial performance in new ventures.

In recent years, the increasing prevalence of deviant behaviors in the workplace and their economic, social, and psychological consequences have drawn the attention of many researchers. In this study, we present a framework that identifies three neuropsychological pathways leading to deviant behaviors, supported by various theories such as Hoffman's Drive Theory, Festinger's Cognitive Dissonance Theory, and Murphy's Fraud Theory. The purpose of developing this framework is to understand the nature and mechanisms of employees' deviant behaviors and to encourage a neuropsychological approach in implementing processes to identify individuals prone to deviant behaviors within organizations.The sample for this study consisted of 40 employees from the Vice-Chancellor for Development and Human Resources at Allameh Tabataba'i University, who voluntarily participated in the study. Their heart rates were recorded in a resting state using a neurofeedback device. Brain hemisphere dominance tests, self-report questionnaires, and 360-degree deviant behavior assessments were distributed and collected. The results indicated an increase in deviant behavior from Group 1 to Group 4. The left-brain group with lower heart rates showed the highest deviant behavior, while the left-brain group with higher heart rates exhibited the least deviant behavior.

Resilience has garnered significant attention in human resource development research. However, limited scholarly research has focused on female managers. This study aims to bridge this gap by providing an in-depth examination of female managers' resilience. Employing a qualitative meta-synthesis approach, this research reviews a collection of studies on resilience. The literature search was conducted in two phases: an exploratory and a focused search. Through a review of academic databases, 1,047 articles containing "resilience" were identified. Articles whose titles and abstracts did not include keywords related to resilience were excluded. The remaining articles were analyzed for alignment with the study. Ultimately, 35 articles matching the research objectives were selected for analysis. Using Sandelowski and Barroso’s framework, the findings were synthesized. In total, 22 concepts and five categories were identified. The antecedents of female managers' resilience were classified into individual, organizational, and situational factors. The outcomes were categorized into organizational and individual achievements. Among examined factors, self-efficacy, work-life balance, family support, and reflective learning received the most references. The findings highlight a range of factors that human resource professionals should consider in fostering female managers' resilience, sustaining human capital, and ensuring business sustainability.ا

This research, based on a mixed methodology, seeks to construct an interpretive structural modeling of the causes of job boredom among the employees of the operational units (line) of the Ilam Province Electricity Distribution Company. The participants in the study are 16 key informants who were invited for in-depth interviews through a purposeful method. After ensuring the reliability of the data, a paired questionnaire was distributed among the participants in the previous stage for the purpose of modeling. The results showed that the interpretive structural model of the causes of job boredom is organized with 6 factors at 3 levels. At the first level, individual causes, intra-organizational causes related to the job, intra-organizational causes related to the organizational context, and extra-organizational causes were identified. At the second level, intra-organizational causes related to the organization's social environment, and at the third level, intra-organizational causes related to human resource management were found.

The present study aims to understand sub-concepts, descriptive classes and a complete understanding of the impressions, experiences and perceptions of newly arrived colleagues about the phenomenon of "socialization of newly arrived employees" in the public organizations of Shiraz. The current research is of applied type, and the research method was qualitative of phenomenological type which tries to organize social issues with a mental approach and from a philosophical point of view is included in the paradigm of interpretivism that according to the categorical saturation rule, 26 members of the organization were selected through targeted sampling with the snowball method. In this research, based on the analysis of interviews and the lived experience of the participants, three main themes of organizational reconciliation, creation of organizational mission, and the development of job sufficiency were obtained in relation to the socialization process of newcomers through colleagues in the organization. The results of the present study indicate that the behavior and interaction of colleagues with newcomers plays an important role in the success and integrity of the newcomer's socialization. The current research suggests that strong ties require smaller networks and that formal socialization tactics and informal socialization processes lead to stronger ties.

Silent employee protest, or passive resistance, is a phenomenon in which employees, instead of openly expressing their dissatisfaction with workplace conditions or problems, indirectly demonstrate indifference, reduced productivity, or changes in behavior without any explicit statement. This type of protest may not be apparent from an organizational perspective, but it can have very serious and long-term consequences for organizational health, employee morale, and overall organizational productivity. Therefore, the present study aimed to identify and analyze the antecedents and consequences of the phenomenon of silent protest in government organizations in Ilam province. In terms of purpose, the present study is applied research and, in terms of data collection, falls into the category of exploratory research. Furthermore, this research is a mixed-methods study, both qualitative and quantitative, based on the philosophical approach of deductive-inductive reasoning. The statistical population of the study consists of experts in the field of management and human resources, who were selected through purposive sampling based on the principle of theoretical sufficiency. The data collection tool in the qualitative section is the interview, the validity and reliability of which were confirmed using content and theoretical validity, as well as intra-coder and inter-coder reliability assessment methods.

As an organization grows, maintaining the path to success becomes increasingly difficult. One of the most significant threats faced by growing companies is a phenomenon known as the Founder’s Trap. This phenomenon refers to a situation in which egocentrism, excessive control, and a lack of delegation by the founder create a serious obstacle to the organization's growth and sustainability. Under such circumstances, the organization cannot effectively continue its development and performance. Given the importance of this issue, the aim of this research is to identify and explain effective strategies for overcoming the Founder’s Trap in Iranian entrepreneurial firms. This is a qualitative study and is considered applied research in terms of its purpose. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 10 founders of entrepreneurial firms in the provinces of Isfahan and Tehran, and were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that some founders of the studied companies have been able to overcome the challenges of the founder's trap by leveraging personal and mental development of the founder, succession planning, a dynamic organizational culture, the design of a modern organizational structure and human resource development.
