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 conduct a bibliometric analysis on 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 papers 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 the knowledge extraction as an emerging discipline have been discussed based on the evidence and trends. The bibliometrics analysis can be useful for professionals, scholars, and academics interested in bibliometric studies. it also provides the essential information for making decisions on the vitality of disciplines.

The purpose of this research was to present an organizational vitality model based on information management and human resource data. Human resource information management is a process that seeks to increase organizational capability through the organization's employees, which is considered one of the most important success factors. The research was designed in a mixed qualitative and quantitative method and benefited from the foundation's data strategy. In the qualitative part, the data obtained from in-depth interviews with 25 general managers of social security of the provinces of the selected country were based on purposeful sampling. In the quantitative part, 376 people from the lower-level employees of this organization were selected in different regions of the country by stratified random method and answered the questions of the researcher-made questionnaire. Qualitative data were analyzed using the Grounded Theory and the quantitative data were analyzed through confirmatory factor analysis using SPSS and AMOS software. The results obtained from the qualitative phase of the research led to the design of a proposed conceptual model of organizational vitality in the social security organization, and in the quantitative phase, using path analysis, validity of the conceptual model was. evaluated. From the practical point of view, the proposed model can be implemented by social security organization managers to create vitality among employees in order to reduce depression and boost productivity.

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.

This study aims to develop a comprehensive bibliometric overview of the publications on knowledge workers from the Web of Science database. The current research is of an applied type and has been carried out using scientometric methods and co-authorship and synonym analysis techniques. In this regard, 1609 scientific papers on knowledge workers were bibliometric analyzed in a descriptive-analytical study. A graphical mapping of the bibliometric material by using the visualization of similarities (VOS) viewer software has been developed in this work. The retrieved papers cover the years from 1938 to 2021. The results indicate an upward trend in the publication in the last ten years. This research demonstrated that keywords changed over time from focusing on key differences between knowledge workers and others to psychological factors related to employees and motivational factors. This study is one of the first attempts to summarize knowledge workers and suggest future research directions

This research aims to provide a knowledge dissemination system for the development of the professional skills of managers. This research was a mixed methods of sequential exploratory type. The research method was a case study in the qualitative part and a descriptive survey in the quantitative part. The statistical population included all secondary school principals of different schools in Tehran, totaling 1171 people. The sample (20 people) was selected by a purposeful sampling method and resource-oriented technique in the qualitative section. Quantitative part sampling was done by multi-stage cluster sampling and the sample size was 181 people according to Cochran's formula. In the qualitative part, the data collection tool consisted of two parts, a semi-structured interview and a single-question questionnaire, in the quantitative part, a researcher-made questionnaire tool was used to collect data. Data analysis was done in the qualitative section based on thematic analysis in ATLASTI software. Also, in the quantitative part, confirmatory factor analysis was used to analyze the data and structural equation modeling was used to determine the fit of the model. Spss-23 and Lisrel-8 software were used in the quantitative section. The obtained results led to the identification of 29 sub-components and 6 main components and finally the research model was presented. The dimensions include educational dimension (0.78), research dimension (0.70), service dimension (0.64), moral dimension (0.61), cultural dimension (0.57) and executive dimension (0.50). Bentler-Bonett's Normed fit index, relative fit, incremental fit, adaptive model indices showed that the designed structural model had a good fit.

This research aims to process knowledge in educational organizations based on the jihadi management approach. Knowledge is a common subject in management, organization science, and economics, which is given special importance in Jihadi economic and managerial subjects. In the research, a mixed method (quantitative-qualitative) has been used to advance the research objectives. The snowball technique was used for sampling in this research. In total, interviews were conducted with 11 experts in the field of education. In this combined research, the thematic analysis method has been performed. In the following, in order to fit the proposed model, the confirmatory factor analysis model has been used in AMOS software. The population studied in the quantitative analysis were the managers of the educational centers, and due to the unlimited number of people, 384 people were considered as a sample based on Morgan's table. Based on the findings of this research, 4 main and central categories were identified in the field of jihadi management, which provided the means for knowledge processing in educational organizations based on the jihadi management approach. From the findings of this research, it is concluded that an important step that must be taken in order to improve the productivity and performance of managers in organizations is to move from organizational information to knowledge processing; In fact, knowledge is obtained from understanding information, and if we apply our knowledge, skill is obtained, and when we combine our skill with other skills, expertise is obtained, and finally, we have mastered our expertise.
