The aim of this study was to designing pathology pattern of green information technology implementation in hospitals and treatment centers. Methods: This study is applied in terms of purpose and took place in terms of methodology, descriptive – analytic that first, with reviewing the theoretical bases and the opinion of the experts, the challenges of deployment of green information technology in hospitals and treatment centers were identified. Then after identifying these challenges by Delphi method, the main challenges of deployment of green information technology in hospitals and treatment centers were identified and to analyze the data, structural interpretive approach was used. Results: after members of the panel reached a theoretical consensus in two steps, 19 factors were extracted to analyze the structural interpretive modeling. The results of the study show that the two factors of government lack of financial support by providing financial facilities and lack of sufficient budget and credit in the organization to deploy green information technology are at the key level of study factors. Conclusion: The results show that hospitals and health centers without government support will not be able to establish green information technology infrastructure and enjoy its benefits. The government can be fruitful in terms of financial support for hospitals and medical centers in order to purchase equipment and other requirements for the establishment of green information technology.

On the other hand, organizations should have the ability to react in dynamic environments and use appropriate mechanisms to increase the use of opportunities and reduce threats and use their abilities in the best way. Innovation in information technology is a solution that organizations use to deal with these pressures and threats. Because the performance of employees has a fundamental and vital role for organizations to achieve their goals, for this reason, both from a theoretical and practical perspective, understanding the factors that affect organizational performance is considered one of the crucial research paths. This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of psychological capital on organizational performance with regard to the mediating effect of innovation in information technology in sports organizations in Isfahan.Methodology: The method of this research was applied in terms of its purpose and descriptive in terms of the type of research that was conducted in the form of a survey.

Achieving information and communication technology development is bound to different variables such as ICT infrastructures and services development. This would not be possible until precise assessment of the existing condition has been done. Strategic planning is one of the best solutions for achieving these goals that could help ICT services and infrastructures development through identification of strengthens and weakness, threats and opportunities. For this purpose, the present study was conducted using a descriptive- analytic methodology applying SWOT technique for the case study province. Meanwhile analyzing the status quo of the information technology based on 30 expert’s attitude was planned and rendered. The findings of the analyzed data and the expert’s opinions from 4 province show that Offensive Strategy is the most appropriate and the focal strategy. Also, based on the findings, there is no gap between the existing and the optimal states in the research field in Semnan, Fras and Azarbijan provinces. Only Kermanshah province is a bit far from the appropriate index that is defensive strategy and it will be improved by operational planning for threats decreasing and changing weakness to strengthens in province level in future, in accordance with the findings. Therefore, generally ,there is no significant gap in term of economic territorial planning about ICT infrastructures and services development in country .

This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive in nature. In this study, two questionnaires of five personality factors and information technology acceptance were used to collect data.

The content validity of the questionnaires was assessed in terms of explicitness and ability to understand the items by a number of respondents and in terms of lexical relevance by referring to subject matter experts. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and structural equations in SPSS and LISREL software. The results showed that only the dimension of extraversion played a role in the acceptance of information technology and the more extroverted the person was, the more acceptance and behavior of his use of information technology increased. Considering that extroverts have energetic, sociable, passionate, confident and positive emotions, the effect of extroversion on the acceptance of information technology seems to be correct, and these people are more receptive to these issues.

The dimen MoreThe aim of the current research is to identify, stratify and analyze the main dimensions and indicators affecting the dynamic capabilities of information technology in small and medium-sized companies using the structural-interpretive modeling (ISM) technique. The dimensions and indicators of the dynamic capabilities of information technology have been identified based on the literature study and content analysis and comparisons of related researches and interviews with experts and specialists, and then, using structural-interpretive modeling, the relationships between the dimensions and indicators of the dynamic capabilities of information technology have been determined as Integrated analysis. Finally, by using MICMAC analysis, the types of variables have been determined according to their influence and effectiveness on other variables. The results show that the variable of digitalization of business processes is among the linked variables and has a high power of influence and dependence. This variable with the greatest influence is considered as the driver and motivator of the dynamic capabilities of information technology in small and medium-sized companies, and any action on this variable causes the change of other variables. Also, measurement variables, resources and competencies and coordination are among the key variables for the development of dynamic capabilities of information technology in small and medium companies. These variables have a great impact on the realization and promotion of dynamic capabilities of information technology in small and medium-sized companies and have high influence and low dependence.

The current research was done to provide a model for choosing the appropriate organizational architecture framework. Therefore، the research method of this study consists of three parts: in the first part، the library method، the second part، the descriptive quantitative method، and in the third part، the multivariate decision-making methods are used. The results showed that eight common criteria for evaluating organizational architecture frameworks include paying attention to laws and regulations، paying attention to the business environment، re-execution capability، documenting decisions، paying attention to strategic orientations، flexibility، maturity level، and paying attention to the interactions of the organization\'s components. In addition، it can be said that the TOGAF، DoDAF، Federal and Zackman frameworks are used as common architectural frameworks. According to the experts، the TOGAF framework is the most appropriate organizational architecture framework to be used in the social security organization، and Zackman، Federal، and DoDAF frameworks were ranked second to fourth، respectively.
