One of the most important channels for losing knowledge in organizations is knowledge workers turnover. Knowledge workers are those whose information and knowledge are their work foundation. Knowledge workers turnover can lead to the loss of knowledge and hence losing competitive advantage. Due to extra importance of knowledge for knowledge-based organizations, the need for taking an approach for assessing knowledge loss risk causing by knowledge workers turnover through voluntary turnover and retirement is necessary. In addition, providing suggestions for preventing knowledge workers voluntary turnover can keep organizational knowledge for a long time. This paper presents a framework for knowledge loss risk analysis, after reviewing different knowledge loss risk assessment models. The proposed framework was confirmed after interviewing with 20 academic and business experts. The proposed framework has been examined within a public knowledge-based organization and on 28 knowledge workers. This research utilizes survey for gathering data and descriptive statistics and risk matrix for analyzing results

For comprehensive analysis of employees` personality outcomes it is necessary to consider the role of situational factors. The purpose of present study is to investigate the influence of proactive personality on employees` voice behavior in which the moderating role of perceived organizational support as well as job characteristics have been considered. These relationships have been explored within the Telecommunication Infrastructure Company in Tehran with a descriptive-survey approach. Data was collected through questionnaire and was analyzed via inferential statistical techniques as well as structural equation modeling by SPSS and AMOS softwares. Findings show the effect of proactive personality on employees` voice behavior. Meanwhile, the moderating effects of perceived organizational support and job characteristics were supported so that as the positive perceptions of employees` about job characteristics and organizational support increase, the effect of proactive personality on voice behavior increases as well. Also, the moderating role of perceptions about job characteristics was greater than the moderating role of perceived organizational support.

Evidences indicate that the Islamic Republic of Iran enjoy a reasonable amount of comparative advantage in their processed foodstuff to export to the neighboring countries, particularly to the U.A.E Despite this fact, the country's processed food exporters have failed to gain advantage of this opportunity. Present paper is aimed at elucidating some outstanding reasons for this problem. Three groups of questionaires were prepared in two languages (Persian and English) to ask the views of the members of a sample of importers, sellers, and consumers of these products of Iran it the U.A..E. Non - parametric statistical methods such as the Mann - Whitney, the Kruskal - Wallis, and Friedman were used to test the hypotheses of this reseach. Quite a few reasons were found to account for the Iranian exporter's meager success in placing the above products in the hands of their Arab consumers, who regarded the quality of these products as high. However, a lack of knowledge of these exporters of the modern exporting concepts or otherwise their lack of willingness to rely on experts in this field to handle the relevant issues for them were found to be the most important impediment to the export of these foodstuff to the U. A E. To offer some suggestions for the promotion of these products of Iran in the U.A.E. AHP model was used to rank consumers, responses to the question "What do they take into account in deciding to purchase as item of processed foodstuff?" The paper is consluded with a summary and some policy suggestions. Suggestions are also provided for further research.

In this paper meritocracy in fields of recruitment and selecting, promotion and keeping the qualified in government's set in Qazvin, have been investigated. Required data for testing the hypothesis gathered by questionnaire distributed among 119 of staff of 21 government sets.

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.
