Trying to retain the employees as the main capital of an organization seems highly substantial for the survival of any organizations. There are several influential factors to retain them and prevent them from leaving. One of these factors is favoritism in the organizations. The study examines the effects of favoritism on employee’s intention to leave in government organization with the mediating roles of burnout and alienation. Having reviewed the literature and in light of “Adams' Equity Theory”, the data was collected using a standard questionnaire from a total sample of 379 employees. The data was then analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique using AMOS software. The results of this study revealed that favoritism, which was investigated with two variables namely nepotism and cronyism, would have a positive and significant effect on the staff leave. Furthermore, the mediating role of burnout and alienation for the impact of nepotism and cronyism on employee leave was confirmed. This study serves as a reference for favoritism management in Iranian government organization. The study provides several theoretical as well as practical implications.

The main purpose of this research is to identify and analyze the effective factors of establishing a knowledge-based city in less developed areas. The research method is mixed (qualitative-quantitative). To carry out this research, in addition to studying documents, the ground theory method with MAXQDA12 software was used to identify the effective factors. The statistical population in this research was all experts in the field of public management, urban management, economics, managers of knowledge-based companies, and managers of Sistan and Baluchestan governorate and Zahedan municipality, which was conducted after conducting 17 theoretical saturation interviews. Finally, open, central, and selective codes were extracted and in the quantitative part, Dematal technique was used to determine the effectiveness of the effective dimensions on the establishment of a knowledge-based city. According to the semi-structured interviews, 6 dimensions (cause, main phenomenon, contextual, interveners, strategies, consequences) and 15 components (core codes), and 69 indicators (open code) were extracted for the establishment of the knowledge-based city. The Finding showed that dimensions of development, skill and expertise, education and technology, infrastructure, internationalization, institutional factor, urban knowledge development, knowledge management, foreign policies, laws and regulations, cultural-native, knowledge-based city development, policies, domestic, cultural conflict, and urban geography, in order from high impact to low impact, as well as dimensions of urban geography, cultural conflict, internal policies, knowledge-based city development, cultural-native, laws and regulations, foreign policies, knowledge management, knowledge development urban, institutional factor, internationalization, infrastructural, education and technology, skill and expertise and development are respectively from high effectiveness to low effectiveness.

The present study explained the effective components' role in the relationship between investment efficiency and tax avoidance. The study's statistical population is the firms listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. Using the systematic elimination sampling method, 128 companies were selected as the research sample in the 8 years between 2014 and 2021. Data for measuring the variables were collected from the Codal website and the companies' financial statements; preliminary calculations were made in Excel; then, the research hypotheses were analysed and tested using a multivariate regression model with panel data in Stata and Eviwes software. The results show that tax avoidance has a negative effect on investment efficiency. Also, the comparability and readability of financial statements have an inverse effect on the relationship between tax avoidance and investment efficiency. It can be concluded that the comparability and readability of financial statements weaken the inverse relationship between tax avoidance and investment efficiency. Other findings showed that the company's information environment has a direct and significant effect on the relationship between tax avoidance and investment efficiency, and competitive power does not significantly affect the relationship between tax avoidance and investment efficiency.

Hospitals are the most important part of the healthcare system. Statistics show that a significant portion of health budgets are allocated to hospitals. The continuous impact of information technology on hospitals’ performance has led to perfect competition. Accordingly, this study aimed to evaluate the quality indicators of hospital services considering information technology using a hybrid approach of the Kano model, Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), and Quality Function Deployment (QFD). In this regard, based on related studies, a total of 18 needs were recognized to evaluate the service quality of a hospital. The statistical population of the study consisted of patients of the hospital and due to the difficulty of access to the patient, a limited sample of 50 patients was selected. After collecting data, the identified needs were classified into three categories called basic, functional, and motivational using the Kano model, and 7 needs were set as basic needs. Then, using the AHP technique, the importance of the basic needs was calculated and considered as the input of the QFD model in the next phase. After providing some solutions based on the literature to meet these 7 needs, solutions were ranked and prioritized using the QFD model. Since the organization had limited resources, the Pareto technique was used to respond to 20% of these strategies and achieve 80% satisfaction. The results of the study showed that the hospitals can achieve 80% satisfaction by implementing the strategies of “holding ethics training courses online” and “creating team spirit and using health information technology in the hospital”, respectively.

This study aimed to create an experience-based tourism model for creative cultural  attractions. This research is mixed in terms of methodology. In the qualitative part, the  qualitative content analysis method was used. The statistical population for this part was  experts who were selected by the snowball sampling method. The structural equation  method was used in the quantitative part. The second statistical population included  visitors to Tehran's creative cultural attractions; 384 samples were selected by random  sampling. The model was designed based on the research results. The desired model  consists of three parts before the visit, during the visit, and after the visit. Before the  visit, the individual characteristics, image, motivation, and visitors’ expectations directly  impacted the creative experience. During the visit, the creative experience directly  impacted the experiencescape and the memorable experience process, and the  experiencescape affected visitors’ memorable experience process directly. After the  visit, the visitor's memorable experiences directly influenced satisfaction and lasting  memories. This study's findings lead to creating creative experiences for visitors and  developing creative cultural attractions. The tourism industry policymakers can rank  creative cultural attractions by setting up a registration system for them, awarding  creative certificates to prominent attractions, and providing them with the basis of  progress

Most existing research on pilgrims and religious tourists has focused on their motivation, with limited attention to their actual experiences. This knowledge gap is particularly apparent in the Islamic context, where understanding the experiences of pilgrims and religious tourists is crucial for predicting their future behaviors. This paper aims to identify the key dimensions of pilgrims' and religious tourists' experiences during the Arba'een pilgrimage. To achieve this objective, a thorough review of the relevant literature was conducted, and appropriate questions were developed and refined through consultation with experts in the field. The target population for this study consisted of Iranian pilgrims who participated in the Arba'een pilgrimage. The researchers utilized a convenience sampling method to collect 229 completed questionnaires, which were then analyzed using exploratory factor analysis in SPSS software. Through this analysis, the researchers identified six key dimensions that contributed to the experience of Arba'een pilgrims: spiritual and emotional, cognitive, interactive, pleasant, physical-bodily, and learning. This research suggests that while the primary motivation for pilgrims is a spiritual experience, other types of experiences can also enhance their overall pilgrimage experience. These findings have practical implications for destination managers, as they can use them to design various experiences that cater to the needs and preferences of different types of pilgrims.

INTRODUCTION: Identifying and classifying hospital suppliers and choosing the right hospital supplier are based on some criteria, such as price, quality, timely product delivery, and after-sales service. METHODS: The research method was to select a suitable supplier through multi-criteria decision-making methods, including fuzzy TOPSIS and fuzzy Delphi. This research analyzed the selection criteria of hospital suppliers using fuzzy TOPSIS and fuzzy Delphi methods. The weight of the selected criteria and their importance were determined by holding interviews with hospital experts. In the next stage, the suppliers were evaluated, and finally, they were ranked using the TOPSIS fuzzy method. FINDINGS: In this research, the criteria for selecting suppliers were based on the criteria determined by Dickson. According to the fuzzy Delphi method, 7 criteria of product quality, timely delivery, final product price, after-sales service, technical ability, product position among competitors, and easy-to-use product were selected for supplier evaluation. CONCLUSION: The selection of a reliable supplier is becoming increasingly crucial given the critical role played by the healthcare sector, which includes hospitals and the Red Crescent as its constituents, the expanding development of technology, and the growing variety of medical equipment. According to the results obtained by the fuzzy Delphi method, the criterion of product quality with a score of 0.88 was chosen as the most important criterion, while the ease-to-use product index with a score of 0.7 was chosen as the least important criterion. The selection and evaluation of suppliers were accomplished through several different quantitative and qualitative indicators, such as cost, quality, timely delivery, and after-sales service. As a result, companies must choose key indicators and suitable suppliers because the right supplier leads to a reduction in purchase costs, as well as an increase in the quality of the products and ultimately the success of the organization in reaching its goals.
