Emphasizing on instrumental rationality and ignoring essential rationality, the organizations mainly focus on survival as their main goal. In this research, according to this problematic phenomenon (tend to survive), efforts have been pass purely empirical and inductive methods, while considering organizational death as an opportunity for better consumption and allocation of resources. The issue of planned death is highlighted as well. The metaphor of phoenix is used to provide a deep understanding of some organizational behaviors for confronting the issue of death and erosion. It is noteworthy to mention that by comparing this metaphor and some other fundamental metaphors, its functions and malfunctions are considered, and above all, its relative capability to explain and describe some aspects of organization has been evaluated. This issue has been taken into consideration by studying the story of Jihad-e-Sazandegi in Iran. In fact, Jihad had to die to survive, but it preferred to be merged in the Ministry of Agriculture to maintain its existence while annihilating its identity from the world.

The aim of current research is to determine how factors of job attitude, subjective norms regarding knowledge sharing, and perceived behavioral controls affect knowledge sharing behavior, considering the role of organizational citizenship behavior as a mediating factor. To achieve this purpose, the research data was collected by providing research questionnaire in 384 members of the hospital staff and was analyzed through Structural Equation Model (SEM). The results indicate that among the dimensions of job attitude, job involvement and organizational commitment directly, and job satisfaction directly and indirectly lead to sharing knowledge across the organization. In addition, behavioral control indirectly, and subjective norm directly and indirectly affect knowledge sharing behavior. Thus, it can be said that organizational citizenship behavior does not play the mediatory role just in the job involvement-knowledge sharing and organizational commitment-knowledge sharing relationships. In other words, job involvement and organizational commitment only directly contributes to knowledge sharing among employees. These research findings refer to the necessity of considering organizational citizenship behavior in sharing knowledge among organizational staff.

The present study aimed to study guidelines for Jihad-e-Keshavarzi Organization of Gilan Province to become learning organization through strengthening organizational citizenship behavior and attitudes of employees. A questionnaire based survey was applied to 159 employees estimated through <em>stratified random</em> sampling. The face and content validity of questionnaire was confirmed by panel of experts and Cronbach’s alpha test revealed the reliability of the instrument used in the study. Analyses provide strong support for the direct effects of job attitudes on learning organization. OCBs played an important mediating role on the relationships between job attitudes and learning organization. We found support for partial mediation of consciousness, civic virtue and courtesy on the relationship between job satisfaction and learning organization. Also, partial mediation occurred through sportsmanship, civic virtue and altruism for the relationship between organizational commitment and learning organization.

The main of this paper is designing a model for Holographic Organization with identify the factors that effects on it. Designing the holographic organization regarding components as dynamic capacity building, holistic environment, efficient human capital, increased self-managing, and smart structure aims at crystallizing the entire quality in each single part with the intention. This article is exploratory by nature and fundamental – applied measuring and descriptive – survey to the methodology. Then using the Delphi technique and scoring 23 detected factors via exploratory factor analysis, 5 new components were identified and labeled. These components could cover 87.056% of the factors affecting the design of holographic organization. Hence, to plan and codify the model and make out the relationship between principles the method of ISM was utilized. Validity was approved by experts and Total Variance Explained and its reliability Cronbach Alpha Coefficient set as 0.964 was confirmed. The results showed that the components of model were related to each other unilateral and holistic environmental has most influential on other components.

In recent years, the issue of globalization has become the focus of researchers and policymakers. There are some Indicators to measure and evaluate globalization in different countries. The KOF Index is the most famous index which measure three aspects of globalization: economic, political, and social. In this paper, the impact of globalization on the building human resource (BHR) among the 56 countries in the period 2005 to 2011 was reviewed. In the present article's model, the building human resource index plays as the dependent variable and the three dimensions of globalization (economic, political and social) are considered as independent variables. The method of analysis is econometric methods: regression analysis and generalized panel GLS. The analysis was performed using the software STATA version 12. The findings of estimates for the generalized regression model show that the coefficients of the variables global political, economic and social confidence level is less than 5oo significant. The political impact of globalization (its coefficient of 0.0056) and social (quality factor of 0.0260) to build human resources directly impact economic globalization (its coefficient of -0.0062) build human resources to reverse. It can be said that globalization in its various aspects has significant influence on the construction of the country's human resources.
