The purpose of this research was to identify the components of improving the mindfulness of managers in Iran's government organizations. The current research method is mixed (qualitative and quantitative). In the qualitative part, 20 people were selected using a targeted method, and in the quantitative part, 300 people were selected using the table of Karjesi and Morgan (1970). The data collection tool in the qualitative part is in-depth and unstructured interviews, and in the quantitative part, a researcher-made questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of 0.92Is. To analyze the data in the qualitative part, the data has been used using the microscopic method during three stages of open, central and selective coding with the help of MAXQDA2020 software and in the quantitative part with the help of SPSS and Smart PLS software. The findings of the research show that this model is in the form of 26 main categories and 180 variables, including the promotion of managers' awareness in government organizations as the core or main category of the model; Causal variables (threatening stimuli, encouraging stimuli, feelings and emotions, abilities); contextual variables; Intervening; and finally consequence categories (attention and concentration, awareness of experiences, awareness and transformational management) were placed.

The aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive model of human dignity in Iran public organizations; This research approach, is a combination of research (qualitative and quantitative). So as to design the meta-synthesis of qualitative research methods Sandelowski and Barroso and to test a confirmatory factor analysis method are used. After assessing the validity and reliability of meta-synthesis method and the opinions of specialized experts, explaining the model was possible. In order to test the final design of 218 employees and managers, in one of the state agencies stratified sampling were selected and analysis was performed using LISREL software. As a result, dimensions, elements and indicators were validated in the model of human dignity.

CE can identify and develop value creation opportunities in the food industry. The first statistical population of this research consisted of 714 participants including executives, professionals and entrepreneurial organizationexperts in the food industries of Behrouz, Zamzam, Pak, Golestan, Mohsen, which have been selected as sample in random, according to Cochran Formula 250. The second statistical population was selected within 16 experts and professors of entrepreneurship management in universities to prioritize the factors.

The statistical population consisted of staff offices of Sepah Bank (1905 people); Using Cochran''''''''s formula, 320 people were selected stratified randomly as samples. As for the research objectives, the present study can be classified as an “applied research”, while as for data gathering, it is descriptive as a cross-sectional survey. Data reliability and validity were assessed using Cronbach''''''''s alpha coefficient and consulting managers of Sepah Bank as experts, and the result was confirmed using confirmatory factor analysis technique. The research hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling technique based on the results of the LISREL software. Hypothesis test results indicate that the positive organizational behavior has a significant negative relationship with organizational silence. Also results show that all dimensions of positive organizational behavior has a significant negative relationship with acquiescence silence, but about the quiscence silenence, only negative relationship with self-efficacy was confirmed and the relationship of hope, resilience and optimism was not significant with quiescence silence.

The first step in taking upon management duties is decision making. Since decision making is impossible without the presence of information and communication, the implementing basis of such a function is providing information for management. Uncertainty .about the future and lack of information on current events makes management to follow the information and conduct formal and informal communication. Information is the processed data of the organization, which increases management certainty in the decision making in proper process of information provision, through its connective structure. The fast-changing external factors have facilitated the organization's development and increased the complexity of management systems and need for information. The consequences of weak decisions cannot be compensated, and the impact of strategic decisions cannot be described as well. Note that the provision of timely, correct, appropriate, brief, and useful information and communications a necessity for an efficient MIS in all levels of management, in order to facilitate right decision making, planning, and control of executive functions. Hence, this paper is indicating the importance of decision making in the organization, as well as the role of MIS in improving the quality of this vital process in the organization.

Today we are facing with a turbulent world full of complexity and change. Contemporary problems are too complicated for rational, logical solutions. They admit insights, not answers. Chaos theory is a solution to reveal insights into the structure and the dynamics of complex systems. Chaos theory is in formative stage, but we can use it in management practices. This article is about applications of chaos theory in management. Butterfly effect, dynamic adaptation, self-similarity, and strange attractors are four main characters of chaos theory which are described in the article and their reflections in management are presented in details.
