        Control Objectives for information and related technology (COBIT) has become one of the most important guidelines for ITG, which provides organizations with a useful tool to start evaluating their own ITG systems. Since COBIT is a generic framework for any organization, it is crucial to prioritize the domains and processes of the framework based on the organization requirements.The COBIT framework was used to verify if IT processes are correctly managed in Sazehgostar Saipa Co. This research aims at identifying the situation of IT processes through evaluation of processes gap into an optimum level based on COBIT Framework. Research questions were as follows: 1.what is the levels of COBIT processes maturity and domains maturity? 2. The processes gap into the optimum level. 3. The weights of COBIT processes and domains based on IT strategies. 4. The prioritization of processes gap. The research steps were done based on research model using IT experts’ view and MCDM methods. The results of the research show that the corporation is powerful in “Acquire and Implement” and “Delivery and Support” domains more than other domains and the overall maturity level is 1.66. Besides, the results of gaps and prioritization of them in domains show that the most gaps are in “Manage Quality”, “Enable Operation and Use”, “Manage Problems” and “Provide IT Governance” Processes.   Manuscript profile

        The enterprise architecture with a general and comprehensive description of the Information Technology (IT) functions in the organization, attempts to reduce the complexity of using this technology and increase the efficiency that meet to the requirements and achievement of organizational goals. On the other hand, IT governance includes all effective efforts to direct and control the use of information technology in the organization. The existence of different frameworks of enterprise architecture, standards and their patterns with different approaches in the field of enterprise architecture and IT governance led to researcher to use comprehensive and compatible approach for the ETKA organization, Develop a paradigmatic model of enterprise Architecture model based on information technology governance using Grounded theory method. Data collection was done through observation and documenting techniques as well as unstructured and semi-structured interviews with 14 experts in IT governance and management. Data analysis in three stages of coding by Strauss and Corbin method using MAXQDA software resulted in 780 concepts and 48 subcategories. After selecting the core category and its regular relationship with other categories in axes comprising of causal, contextual, intervening conditions, strategies, and consequences as well. Therefore, the paradigm model of the research is developed. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of information technology (IT) governance and job alienation on counterproductive work behavior in automated professional public libraries and banks in West Azerbaijan. To serve the purpose, a descriptive correlational research method was employed in this applied study. The research sample comprised 132 librarians and 400 bank staff members who were randomly selected from the population of librarians and bank employees in the province based on Morgan Table. The research data was gleaned employing a researcher-made questionnaire the validity of which was confirmed by expert views and the reliability of which was explored based on the Cronbach Alpha coefficient. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS and PLS software. The results confirmed the research model in public libraries. Based on the findings, IT governance did not directly influence the counterproductive work behavior in public libraries, but the effect was justified via job alienation. However, IT governance was found to have both direct and indirect effects on job alienation and counterproductive work behavior in banks. Moreover, the findings indicated that IT governance had differential impacts on counterproductive work behavior in automated and non-automated organizations. Manuscript profile
