The main objective of this study provide amodel for allocating advertising budgets of a variety of media includingtelevision, newspapers, radio and organizational approach is to reducespending. The model by goal linear programming, with respect to thethree ideals is provided, so that the ideal first indication of a total of 15ads in TV media, cause the 4 ads in newspaper pages (located on thefront page) and finally cause the third 30 advertising radio is consideredThus, the efficiency of the model of data a manufacturing company areused in the field of ceramic tiles. Finally model has been implementedby Operational Research software LINGO 11. The results of this studyindicate that it is the realization of the goals of the first and second and third goals, 4 deviation of less than the limits defined and the model isto be realized.

        The purpose of this note is to show how some of the mainresults existing in the insurance service quality utilizing SERVQUALscale and ANP model can be effectively used in scientifically rankingstrategies instead of the traditional models, which is unfortunately morepopular in ranking the branches of insurance companies. This approachis used to show how the ranking decisions changes as a function ofservice quality utilizing ANP model. This study evaluated the qualityof services of DANA insurance company branches to measure policyholders’ views toward current level and expected level of quality. Thestandard questionnaire “SERVQUAL”, emphasizing on measuring thegap between the level of current and Expected quality was used and the proposed algorithm utilized the analytic network process (ANP),which allows measurement of the dependency among the quality dimensions,to rank the branches. The results showed difference betweenpolicy holders’ expectations and current level of quality of services inall dimensions of quality. The most outstanding gap was for responsivenessdimension and the least one was for empathy and also according tothe ANP limit super matrix it was revealed that there was a significantdifference between the proposed ranking approach and the traditionalone.

        Abstract The purpose of this research is the study of relationship among personal characteristics with job burnout and deviantbehaviors of personnel’s of National Iranian Gas Company’s (NIGC)first region in which statistical populationincludes 100 personnel’s ofthis company that is done in the year 1392. 80 personnel are consideredas research sample according to Cochran Sampling Selection Table inorder to run questionnaire. Research instruments include job burnoutquestionnaire (Measles and Jackson, 1981), Neo personal characteristicsquestionnaire (McCrea and Costa, 1985), a 60-question form and an 8-question deviant behaviors questionnaire (Bent and Robinson, 2000)which has adequate validity and stability. Data gathered from questionnairesare studied through Prison’s Correlation Coefficient Test andregression analysis, simultaneously. Results show that there is a significantrelation among mental suffering with depersonalization, emotionalexhaustion, individual failure and deviant behaviors (P < 0.01). Inaddition, there exist another significant relation between emotional exhaustionand deviant behaviors (P < 0.01). In addition, the results ofregression analysis shows that mental suffering is the best factor forpredicting deviant behavior and job burnout (P < 0.01). Manuscript profile

        Today, along with enhancement of social well-being andeconomic development, demand for transportation is growing increasingly.Many countries are seeking for providing transportation servicesat a reasonable price. Therefore, optimization of carrying goods on nationalor international roads is highly important in terms of costs andtransportation indicator, so that the goods are shipped at minimumcosts and maximum profit for the forwarding agencies. For this purpose,the limitations should be identified. In this paper, considering critical indicatorsand various modes of transportation, we attempt to choose andrank the best option with respect to pre-defined criteria imposing leastcosts. The indicators and criteria determined in this research for selectingthe best mode of container loading are those introduced by transportexperts (sima marine shipping company) based on the their importancefor the company. These indicators include forwarding charges, volumeof containers and quantity of portable containers (20ft and 40ft), which are not equally important and each has been given a weight by company’sexperts, the total of which equals one. To use the weights ina logical manner, shannon entropy technique was applied. Our aim inthis research is selection of the best option for carrying the containersunder conditions which the demand for the goods to be shipped overweighsthe capacity of the ship, known as critical point in loading thecontainers. To achieve this aim, for ranking containerized shipping amulti-criteria decision analysis method called topsis is used to rank moptions against n criteria. Manuscript profile
