Views: 1038 Downloads: 445 TO CITEAdministrative corruption in a simple definition is violation of a law for personal benefits by utilization of job position. It is a phenomenon within today’s world as one of the most important obstacles on the way of societies’ progress. The impact of different factors in forming corruption has given it a complicated nature. Administrative corruption is a correlative issue and it is different according to value system of each society. This article is trying to present a solution in order to fight against administrative corruption through classification of staff with the help of explaining the relation of their perception, sensation and commitment towards corruption and corrupted situations. Present study in terms of purpose is developmental-practical, and in terms of execution and based upon research purposes is a survey. The study population is the staff of Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance in 2015. In order to explain perception, sensation and the behavior of staff, the questionnaire of administrative corruption is designed in three dimensions: perceptive aspect (cognitive) which includes items for assessing the status of awareness and recognition of staff from instances and consequences of administrative corruption; sensation aspect which includes items for assessing the vision and tendencies of staff towards corruption, and behavioral aspect which is formed from items for assessing the behavior of staff in facing with corruptive situations. In order to identify the reasons of corruption two questionnaires of “National identity” and “Organizational culture” have been designed. The result of the research was that the perpetrators of corruption can be divided into three categories. First category is the staff that their perception is positive, it means that they have adequate cognition from manifestations and corruption consequences and their feeling about corruption is negative, it means that they consider it as an ominous phenomenon, but they are guilty of corruption. Second category is the staff that their perception is positive, they don’t see corruption as an ominous phenomenon. Consequently, their feeling toward corruption is positive, and they perpetrate it. The third category is the staff whose perception is negative, their feeling is uncertain, and they perpetrate it. The behavior of these categories will be interpreted in form of related theories. The significant note is that despite the tendency average to practice administrative corruption among governmental staff is lower than assumed average and it indicates that there is a protection of corruption perpetration, but the rank of our country is not favorable the International Organization report. This warning made the researchers to provide new solutions to help resolving this social issue by reviewing current solutions for prevention, and fighting against administrative corruption, regarding the richness of evaluating system in Iran.

Views: 865 Downloads: 338 TO CITEThe present study investigates the effects of behavioral biases on the efficiency of Tehran stock exchange. In fact, these biases are the mistakes that individuals make while making financial decisions.
The methodology of this research is that firms with financial information during 1997 to 2006 that have also been active on the stock exchange have been classified based on two criterions of operating profit/per share and earnings per share, then, the return of these firms was calculated in the first period and compared to their return in the second period. Therefore, it will be clear that the companies’ financial performance trend has been effective on the behavioral biases of investors and consequently on their extreme reactions towards the published information. Therefore, the process of the stock return changes can be predicted in the coming period. As a result, this hypothesis is an evidence of market inefficiency and predictability of financial behavioral theories. On the other hand, this research does not offer sufficient and strong evidences on the effect of consistency in the financial performance process and also the presence of compatible and incompatible signs in companies’ financial performance on the market predictability. Thus, in this case, it is not possible to admit the effect of behavioral biases on the predictability and thus market efficiency.Keywords: behavioral finance, financial performance, behavioral bias, representation, conservatism.

Views: 921 Downloads: 268 TO CITEUnlike learning process, the critical phenomenon of organizational forgetting is not entirely understood. There are two categories of forgetting: accidental forgetting (not-preferred) and intentional forgetting (preferred). Therefore, all the variables that influence intentional forgetting can be important for organizational learning. One of them, which have been neglected thus far, is the edge of chaos in quantum learning. It is the point that a balance is achieved between stability and chaos. Organizational innovation, learning, and creativity all reach a proper level at this point. Along with emphasizing on these variables and surveying an IT-based organization, the present study is an attempt to discover the causal relationships between the variables. Based on the data from 289 filled out questionnaires, of which reliability and validity have been confirmed, structural equations model was developed in AMOS. The results showed that the all path coefficients were significant. In addition, comparison of goodness of fit indices and the standard range showed that all indices were acceptable and the main hypothesis regarding effectiveness of quantum learning on organizational forgetting was supported. The effect of quantum learning on organizational forgetting in non-standard and standard conditions was 0.51 and 0.28, respectively.
