To achieve the purpose, the mixed method of qualitative-quantitative was used. To know the current situation, the quantitative survey method/ survey electronically were used in the country with the return of 801 questionnaires from 18 petrochemical companies and the variables of organizational culture, learning styles and dominant trends of learning were examined. For elaboration on the current situation and expectations of the company, the qualitative approach and grounded theory were used and finally the results of qualitative and quantitative parts were mixed. The findings show that the organizational culture of petrochemical companies in the current situation has more skewers towards the hierarchy and to some extent towards the market, and the components of family culture and especially Ad hoc are poor. Also, among the four learning styles, in the company’s current situation the convergent and divergent poles are dominant and also assimilating and adapting styles have less frequency. In terms of existing training programs, the general attitudes can be observed to the personal acquisition of knowledge instead of attending the formal training programs.

The statistical population of the study was selected from insurance employees (380 persons) by Cochran formula of 191 persons using simple random sampling. A questionnaire consisted of three parts: Demographic information, Spritzer empowerment questionnaire, Knowledge productivity questionnaire (Qualitative Interview Questionnaire). Results were analyzed in two levels of descriptive and inferential statistics by LISREL software. Relationship between knowledge productivity and job meaningfulness (r = 0.83), between knowledge productivity and competence feeling (r = 0.86), between knowledge productivity with feeling of independence (r = 0.92), between knowledge productivity and feeling effective In the job (r = 0.90), there is a strong and positive relationship between knowledge productivity and a sense of trust in colleagues (r = 0.92), as well as between each component of knowledge productivity with empowerment. The relation between incremental innovation and empowerment (r = 0.66) and between fundamental innovation and empowerment (r = 0.92) was obtained. As a result, knowledge productivity is directly related to the empowerment of employees, but it does not have an impact on staff empowerment.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of succession planning on the knowledge transfer in higher education with the mediating role of transformational leadership. The research method was descriptive correlational. The statistical population of this study included all administrators (200 people) of Kharazmi University were selected by convenience sampling method. For data collection were used the three Questionnaire of succession planning (Kim, 2006), Bass & Avolio (2004) transformational leadership, and knowledge transfer (Nonaka & Takeuchi, 1995). Data analysis was done by using structural equation modeling in AMOS And Spss-22 software. The results of structural equation modeling showed that the conceptual model of research with experimental data fits well and transformational leadership plays the role of a complete mediator in the relationship between succession planning and knowledge transfer. Accordingly, the variable relationship between succession planning and knowledge transfer through transformational leadership was confirmed in the form of path analysis. Thus, the variable of transformational leadership showed a facilitating role in the relationship between and succession planning and knowledge transfer. Also, the leading variable of succession planning had a direct and positive effect on the knowledge transfer. Based on the results of the research, it can be concluded that university administrators can provide a good platform By establishing a succession planning system in universities and higher education institutions, for institutionalizing knowledge transfer inside and outside the university. In the current competitive environment, university administrators will achieve the lofty goals and missions of the university by cultivating knowledgeable managers, and thus ensure the growth, development and competitive advantage of the university Manuscript profile

This research validates the model of cultural security in sustainable knowledge-based development. The research method is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-survey in terms of data collection method and mixed (quantitative-qualitative) in terms of the type of data. The statistical population in the qualitative section (interview section) comprised 15 experts and specialists familiar with cultural and scientific issues in the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, who were selected by purposive sampling. The statistical population in the quantitative part included 551 experts and managers of the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology in 2019-20, from among whom, some 226 persons were selected by stratified random sampling. Both library research and field observation methods were employed for data collection. In the field observation method, in order to collect the qualitative part, interviews were conducted with a number of mangers enaged in cultural affairs, and in the quantitative part, the data was collected through a researcher-made questionnaire. The reliability of this questionnaire was estimated based on 0.86 Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Confirmatory factor analysis was used in relation to the validity of the obtained indices and also a questionnaire was designed to assess the validity of the model, which measured the dimensions of the final model using a single sample t-test. The results showed that the model was valid and the model of cultural security in the knowledge-based sustainable development gained the required validity with cultural, economic, social, environmental, political as well as national and religious factors.

In knowledge-based enterprises, the main capital is knowledge, and it is necessary to benefit from this capital by having knowledgeable employees who are lifelong learners. However, traditional learning approaches do not meet the needs of these enterprises. Based on this, the aim of the present study was to provide a suitable learning framework for knowledge-based enterprises. In order to achieve this goal, the meta-synthesis qualitative method of selection and in-depth analysis of the subject literature were employed based on the seven steps of Sandolowski and Barso. By reviewing the literature, 250 identified sources were analyzed using meta-synthesis method. The results indicated that the components of extra-organizational environment, organizational environment, the essence of knowledge-based enterprises and learning approaches are important aspects of the learning framework of knowledge-based enterprises. Each of these components included sub-components that affect learning in knowledge-based enterprises; therefore, considering the sub-components in the turbulent extra-organizational environment, the organizational environment is affected by the emphasis on agile structure, open culture, collaborative culture, organic job design and independent work space. The essence of knowledge-based enterprises was formed around the orientations including expertise, innovation, team, learning, communication and knowledge. Finally, the three learning approaches of interest in knowledge-based enterprises included experiential learning, self-directed learning, and collaborative learning, which in the literature were the most suitable for this kind of enterprises. Therefore, it can be concluded that paying attention to the identified components along with its sub-components could play an important role in formulating a suitable learning framework for knowledge-based enterprises.
