Jo ur na l o f Abstract The challenge and inability to effectively manage organizational resources such as financial capital, human resources, and management of intraand inter-organizational conflict resolution is one of the issues non-governmental organizations are faced with. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to present an effective leadership model for environmental people-based organizations (PBSs/NGOs) in Iran. The present study was developmental in terms of purpose and descriptive-exploratory in terms of methodology. Grounded method, together with Strauss and Corbin approach, was applied to collect qualitative data. Alongside this, 12 experts from these organizations were selected and interviewed. The process of coding in the founded theory involved the process of continuous data analysis in open, central and selective stages. Results show: (a) participation, service rendering, transformation orientation and legal orientation are effective leadership dimensions, (b) capacity of grassroots organizations, governance networks and organizational capabilities are among the causal factors, (c) flexible organizational structure and organizational climate are effective contextual factors, (d) supportive policies and strategies (both internal and external) are intervening factors in the effective leadership model, (e) public participation and organizational performance are effective leadership outcomes.

Jo ur na l o f Abstract There are issues in organizations that require new theoretical formulation. Hence, metaphorical theorizing is used in the study of organizations to interpret them and understand their complexities. In this method, the organization is likened to an entity and one of the key features of that entity is generalized to the organization. It should be borne in mind that most organizational theories are based on a positivist paradigm that focuses on knowledge and data in an attempt to discover the nomothetic of social systems. This article is an attempt to build a theory based on interpretive paradigm that puts the organizational black hole theory forward in a metaphorical way. The black hole theory of the organization has been adopted from the cosmic black hole metaphor. In the first step, the key features of the organizational black hole were summarized in accordance with the researcher's interpretation, taking into account the one-on-one correspondence and adopting the cosmic black hole characteristics. In the second step, the definition of the organizational black hole was presented based on key features, and in the third step the overall framework of the theory was formulated. In addition, by analyzing the characteristics of the organizational black hole theory, it was found that this theory falls under the interpretative paradigm. Finally, how one can test the theory in terms of falsifiability or utility is discussed.

One of the important success factors in public sector organizations is voluntary participation or citizen-centered approach which is emphasized by modern public administration paradigm. The purpose of this research was to introduce the modern public administration paradigm and to emphasize the vital role of modern public administration dimensions as the predisposing factors of citizens’ participation in the policy-making cycle of Tehran Municipality. A matrix was made up of modern public administration dimensions and steps of policy-making cycle drawn respectively on the X-axis and Y-axis of the Cartesian coordinate system so that the importance and priority of citizens’ participation could be determined at the interception point of the matrix. Then, a conceptual model was developed based on targeted sampling method involving 10 experts and applying fuzzy Delphi technique in two phases and with structured interviews. Besides, 392 questionnaires were distributed among the staff personnel of the municipality, selected through random sampling method. Results show that participation affects policy-making cycle through one-way communication, dialogue and deep conversation in six phases; through social counseling in five phases and through work sharing in three phases. Also, modern public administration dimensions have positive impact on policy-making cycle through the four types of participation, meaning one-way communication, social counseling, dialogue and deep conversation and work sharing.

Jo ur na l o f Abstract Today, merger and acquisition (M&A) are important strategic tools to address various motives in the financial services industry; However, these strategies have failed in numerous cases. This article intends to develop a comprehensive framework that could specify processes and success factors in each particular stage of the M&A so that executives could use it as an applied tool. For this purpose, a systematic review of M&A literature was carried out for the period between 1990 and 2019. As a result, 2912 related documents were studied and finally 101 documents were selected and analyzed by applying the latest version of the Atlasti 8 software. Based on this analysis, 403 codes, 32 concepts and 8 categories were identified. These categories comprised the main M&A framework including the following stages: 1) establishing M&A intelligence, 2) planning and formulating the M&A strategies, 3) strategy assessment and target selection, 4) negotiation, 5) in-depth risk analysis, 6) introducing the final framework, 7) administering and integrating, 8) strategic control. Finally, a comprehensive model for the management of the M&A process has been introduced that can help not only the financial services industry, but also other industries if they follow the required strategic adjustments.

Jo ur na l o f Abstract The emergence of various needs theories demonstrates man’s constant interest in understanding his own human nature more and better. These theories have some overlaps, while each one contains diverse sub-categories. However, with a closer look, we find out that all these theories primarily intend to satisfy one certain need which is the "need for stability". Stability may be defined as the absence of constant and repetitive occurrence of events, behaviors or stimuli that can otherwise disrupt the function and equilibrium of individual and social systems. Therefore, when stability is present, equilibrium prevails over the system. Since stability bears stages, any human or organizational system may have higher aspirations to satisfy their needs by moving to higher stages. As a result, they temporarily disrupt their stability in order to achieve stability advantage. This is comparable to an investor who temporarily puts his economic stability at risk in a project only to achieve higher growth. This theoretical paper has tries to round up needs and stability theories so it might make a new contribution to the administrative and behavioral sciences

Jo ur na l o f Abstract The aim of this study is to survey the effects of leadership styles (transformational and servant leadership) on employees’ behavioral patterns regarding change (change reception, resistance to change and indifference to change). The statistical population included employees of Ahvaz governmental organizations. Non-probability sampling method (available sample) was used and finally, 307 questionnaires were returned by the subjects and provided the basis for data analysis. Validity was confirmed through evaluation of experts and reliability was measured through Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Results of data analysis, based on structural equation modeling, show that transformational and servant leadership styles have a positive and significant influence on the reception to change but have a negative and significant impact on the resistance and indifference to change.
