This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of knowledge extraction to examine its grassroots and interdisciplinary interactions based on papers in the Scopus database between 1980 and 2022. The study uses Biblimetrix, performance analysis, and science mapping techniques using 307 articles extracted from the Scopus database. The study used Biblimetrix (R package) and VOSviewer as a tool to carry out the performance analysis and science mapping analysis. The results show that the number of publications has significantly increased in the past decade, 1.53% of authors contribute at least a single article, and 98.46% of authors published multi-authored. China, the USA, and Japan were the most prolific countries in terms of the total number of citations and foreign collaborations. Expert Systems with Applications and the Journal of Knowledge Management are the top journals for knowledge extraction; Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing (book series), and Lecture Notes in Computer Science are the top conference proceedings series in this field. Implications of knowledge extraction as an emerging discipline have been discussed based on the evidence and trends. The bibliometrics analysis can be helpful for professionals, scholars, and academics interested in bibliometric studies. it also provides essential information for making decisions on the vitality of disciplines.

This research aims to present a knowledge development model for future managers based on talent management with a grounded theory approach in the Iranian Social Security Organization (headquarters). This research is applied in terms of purpose and exploratory in terms of method. It uses a mixed methods approach for data collection and analysis, qualitative and quantitative data analysis techniques- grounded theory and structural equation. The research tool in the qualitative part was a semi-structured interview. In the qualitative part, using the grounded theory method, data obtained from the interviews with 12 elites and qualified specialists of the Social Security Organization, which were analyzed manually and by using Atlas TI 8 software during three stages of open, central, and selective coding that resulted in generation of 19 categories. The results were presented in the form of a paradigm model that includes causal conditions (individual factors, organizational factors, lack of proper selection and knowledge and skills of employees), central phenomenon (future managers based on talent management and personality types), underlying conditions (organizational platform, selection of talents, use of talent) Intervening conditions (psychological factors, individual factors, managerial factors) and strategies (talent sourcing, empowering managers and employees, job and employee fit, succession planning, foresight, and cognitive strategy) and outcomes (organizational results, public satisfaction, futurization). In the quantitative part, the data obtained from the structural equation analysis questionnaire were analyzed using AMOS statistical software. Based on the outputs, the factor loadings of all the items of the standard model were higher than 0.3, and all the significant coefficients of the model were higher than 1.96.

The use of IoT in intelligent agriculture is now very common among farmers, and with the use of drones and sensors, advanced agriculture is rapidly becoming a growing global standard. The use of IoT requires infrastructure that is defined within an IoT governance framework. This paper proposes new approaches to knowledge management, Artificial Intelligence, and IoT governance and their impact on productivity in the agriculture sector by hiring specialized people who are called AI-aided Agriculture Knowledge Managers.Given the importance of all three topics, knowledge management, IoT, and agriculture, we have tried to show the impact of the presence of AI-aided Agriculture Knowledge Managers and IoT in reducing water consumption as one of the most important requirements of agriculture in a simulation by Matlab Software. The data was obtained from the Eurostat database. We also provide a framework for the presence of AI-aided Agriculture Knowledge Managers in fields that are specialized in agricultural science and knowledge management. Finally, due to the importance of governance in this sector, a framework for the governance of artificial intelligence in the field of agriculture with the presence of knowledge managers has been proposed.

The purpose of this research is to identify the factors affecting the agile supply chain and value creation for the customer in the automotive industry. Therefore, using a qualitative approach and meta-combination technique, these factors have been identified. In this research, the technique is based on the model of Clarson (2006), Sampling strategy, data collection method, data analysis method, appropriateness of research design with research goal, clear expression of findings, proper justification of research result, and homogeneity between research project guiding paradigms with selected methods were the 7 steps used in selecting articles. Based on the analysis, 33 studies were reviewed and 22 codes were introduced for value creation for the customer, and 22 codes for the agile supply chain. In the supply chain stages, agility and the factors that affect it create value. Agility leads to rapid change management, in which case the organization can identify and meet the needs of customers with the necessary flexibility. The higher the agility of the supply chain, the better the factors affecting value creation for the customer. In light of the findings obtained from the study, it could be said that economics moves from the traditional to the modern knowledge, so managers must avoid looking at assets one-dimensionally and understand the importance of the role of intangible assets such as customers and the organization's internal value-added factors that contribute to the organization's survival and competitive advantage.

This study aimed to assess the mediating role of flattery in the relationship between self-esteem and stress and job success from the point of view of the Ministry of Sport and Youth Experts. It is applied research in terms of classifying research by purpose, it is descriptive-non-experimental in terms of data collection, and has been the case study among all types of descriptive research methods. The statistical population of the study consists of 700 staff and experts of the Ministry of Sport and Youth. Using the Cochran formula, 400 individuals are selected as a statistical sample. The sampling method was random sampling. The demographic data of the experts were first evaluated and after confirming the validity and reliability of the questionnaire, the relationship between self-esteem and stress with job success was analyzed by considering the mediating role of flattery in structural equation modeling. Data were analyzed using SPSS and LISREL statistical software. Based on the results, the mediating role of flattery in the relationship between self-esteem and job success was confirmed and the relationship between stress and job success was confirmed. According to the results obtained, people who have high self-esteem perform all their duties regularly and do not leave any room for complaints to higher levels, so they try to learn even with the help of other employees or go ahead with extra-organizational training to overcome your problems. On the other hand, these people consider their value and importance so high that they do not allow themselves to flatter their superiors.

This research aims to explain the organizational ambidexterity model in Saderat Bank of Iran and its dimensions. Ambidexterity refers to the ability to succeed in two contradictory abilities at the same time, for example, ambidexterity such as exploiting current opportunities and discovering and creating new opportunities for the future, adaptation, alignment, flexibility, and efficiency. This research was conducted using a qualitative-inductive approach using the Strauss-Corbin grounded theory method. The data were obtained from the interviews conducted with 25 employees and qualified professionals of Saderat Bank of Iran and were analyzed through the three stages of open, central, and selective coding. Twelve general categories in the form of a paradigm model were identified, which included causal conditions (individual factors, organizational factors, group factors, and environmental factors), central phenomenon (organizational ambidexterity), contextual conditions (intellectual capital), intervening conditions (job-related factors, learning factors), strategies (individual strategy, organizational strategy) and consequences (individual consequences, group consequences, organizational consequences). Ambidexterity can increase the scope and depth of knowledge identified and used by the organization by focusing on two levels of knowledge: 1. paying attention to new knowledge due to its discovery capability and, 2. paying attention to current knowledge due to its exploitation capability. It can also help the development culture of learning and intelligence and enhance competitiveness.

This study aims to provide a Gamification Driver Soft modelling of Learning Management Systems in Covid-19 Pandemic. By studying the theoretical foundations and experimental background and content analysis approach, eleven drivers were identified in the first phase. This study's statistical population consisted of Persian Gulf University (Bushehr) faculty members with appropriate empirical and theoretical knowledge in information systems scope. Fourteen of them were selected as sample members by purposeful judgmental sampling method. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire whose validity was confirmed by face content analysis method, and also the reliability was confirmed by inconsistency rate method. The collected data were analyzed by fuzzy interpretive structural modelling to design a Gamification Driver Soft modelling. The results showed that the driver of "learning opportunity", "appropriate design", "ease of use", "motivation" and "cooperation" which were placed in the lower levels of the model, as effective and root driver. Therefore, it is requisite to have more emphasis on these drivers when designing systems to motivate users resulting in the improvement of learning outcomes. It should be noted that the proposed research is innovative in terms of modelling Gamification driver in learning/teaching systems in the Covid- 19 pandemic. In today's digital age; ideas formation will not be possible without considering other facts in terms of emerging paradigms of technology. Gamification is a new concept of information systems in the motivational learning scope that if used in virtual learning guarantees its success as the critical element of training in the pandemic of Covid-19.
