        Radical analysts have interpreted planning an act of servin the interests of the capital and a disadvantage for community members. Planning has always been busy with making decisions between different goals and interests, private intrests against public intrests, short-term intrest against long-term intrest, economic intrest against social intrests and so on. Therefor to determine what provides the public intrests has always been a confilicting issue. Planning needs to have the ability to play a role as a government, groups and organization advocates or people who have suggestions for the future of the society in order to administer practical ways to achieve an idea future. This duty needs a collective decision making and participations of defferent groups in planning. Indeed planners are the social advocates that in the struggle of the forces and interests of different social groups move toward juctice and equality, which requires the public to provide the basics for the society to offer equal opportunities to all citizens. Therefor a need for intelligent planning that determines new economic goods and tools to achieve them is abrious and necessary. After the industry revolution and the physical changes of the cities, which was orginated from the new system of the social labor division and the necessity of organizing the undesirable conditions a targeted usage of the sources to control and guide the socirty was demanded. The speed and extent of developments in science caused the creation of a comprehensive belief in the field of rationality that was considered as a basic of concept of a scientific planning to control development. A method that based on logical reasoning knew that logical positivism is the basic of planning and accepted planning to be free of values like othere sciences. The goal of this article is to explain the advocacy planning approach and its themes of practice in Iran, United states and United kingdom and to compare their theoretical and practical experences on the advocacy planning approach. There are five stages to reach this gaol. The first stage explains the advocacy planning theory theory and compares it with the rational-cmprehensive approach, and studies its appearing themes and discusses the necessity of the thought of polarism in advocacy planning. The last stege is exploring the criticisms on the advocacy planning approach. The second stage is the study of the practice of advocacy planning, in the United States, and the reasons of the appearance of it in the United Statesis being tracked the programs based on the community development and their features are introduced.

        Introduction: The positive and negative effects of value co-creation and patient participation in the field of digital healthcare and its feedback together and in the form of a model is a topic that has been less addressed. The main goal of this research is to investigate the effects of value co-creation on the effectiveness of digital healthcare platforms in the form of a dynamic process model. Methods: In order to achieve the goals of the research, the indicators of the effectiveness of digital health platforms were extracted from the selected information society. In the next step, using the system dynamics approach and Vensim PLE software, the cause and effect diagrams of the three subsystems of the problem were drawn, and the research model was extracted in the form of an accumulation and flow diagram. Results: In this research, patient empowerment was considered as a bridge between value co-creation and effectiveness of digital health platforms. After carrying out the research steps, cause and effect diagrams of three process readiness subsystems, value network and process achievements were extracted. Then the research model was completed by adding its complexities and dynamics in the form of accumulation and flow diagram. Conclusion: The obtained model, while depicting the dynamics of the problem, can be used as a reference for simulating and testing value co-creation development strategies in the effectiveness of digital health platforms. Although it is necessary to formulate and simulate the model to predict the effect of co-creation of value on the effectiveness of digital health platforms, but considering the prevalence of positive feedback over negative in the obtained model, it seems that paying attention to the approach of co-creation of value in the development of digital health functions has positive effects.

Badie et al.'s procrastination questionnaire (2011) and Marquardt's employee empowerment questionnaire (2018) were used to collect the data required for the research. Independent t-test and one-way analysis of variance were also used for comparison between groups, Pearson's correlation coefficient test was used to examine the relationship between variables, and standard regression test was used to predict procrastination based on ability at a significant level (p≤0.05). Based on the results of the research, the average score related to procrastination was significantly lower than the hypothetical average value and the average score related to empowerment was significantly higher than the hypothetical average value. The difference in the scores of empowerment, procrastination and its sub-scales, taking into account the gender, marital status and age of the employees, was not significant (p≤0.05). There was a significant negative relationship between empowerment, procrastination and its subscales (p=0.001). Also, the results showed that part of the employees' procrastination can be predicted based on their empowerment.

        The most important effect of the growth and expansion of urbanization is the massive migration to the cities, the emergence of the crisis of marginalization and the emergence of informal settlements. Poverty, illiteracy, low level of awareness, unemployment rate, informal residence, informal employment, etc. are among the fundamental problems of informal settlements. The biological vulnerability of these environments against the crisis is another characteristic of these settlements.The purpose of this research is to present a conceptual model of local empowerment of informal settlements. Therefore, the current research was conducted in the category of qualitative research and with the approach of foundational data theory. In order to analyze the qualitative data, meta-composite method and content analysis were used together. The data collection method is document study and semi-structured interview. nvivo software was used for qualitative data analysis and coding.Based on documentary studies and the use of meta-synthesis method, the theoretical framework of the research and the initial conceptual model of local empowerment were presented. The main components of local empowerment are: governance, participation and trust, culture and community, identity, perception of the environment and vitality. Based on the questions raised in the interview process, 937 referrals were provided. 19 sub-themes were extracted by multiple revisions and integration of codes based on similarity during several stages of data summarization. Based on the discovery of cause and effect relationships between the components, the spiral model was presented as the final conceptual model of indigenous empowerment of informal settlements, which has 6 cycles.Extended AbstractIntroduction:In Iran, as in other developing countries, we have witnessed the growth and expansion of urbanization and the subsequent emergence of informal settlements, the most important effect of which is massive migration to cities and the emergence of the crisis of marginalization. Poverty, illiteracy, low level of awareness, unemployment rate, informal residence, informal employment, etc. are among the fundamental problems of informal settlements. The population growth percentage of Yasouj city based on calculations from the latest official data is equal to 1.6%, which is one of the highest growth rates among the provincial centers of the country and has had one of the highest urban population growth and spatial expansion in the last 4 decades. . The population of immigrants who entered Yasuj during the years 2010-2015 was equal to 18,715 people, which caused the emergence of informal settlements and the need for reform programs, especially local empowerment, as an unavoidable necessity. According to the statistics, there are more than 80,000 marginal residents in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer Ahmad provinces, of which nearly 60,000 people live in Yasouj city, and this has disrupted the urban and rural balance, which can be considered an irreparable crisis in the future.Methodology:The current research is of the "parallel single method" type. It should be noted that the parallel single method design (like Morse's typology) uses two qualitative methods at the same time, one of which is the basic method and the other is the complementary method, then the results are combined with each other. Therefore, the method of conducting this research includes two steps as follows: A) Qualitative part (first part - basic part) [meta-composition]: to present the initial conceptual model of local empowerment of informal settlements b) Qualitative part (second part - supplementary part) [content analysis]: to explain the components of the conceptual model of indigenous empowerment of informal settlements (conceptual model of indigenous empowerment of informal settlements). Nvivo software was used for qualitative data analysis.Results and discussion:The findings of the research in the first part indicate 937 references, which were extracted through multiple reviews of 6 themes and 19 sub-themes.In accordance with the themes and sub-themes and the discovery of cause and effect relationships, the spiral model was presented in the first step as a secondary model of "Native Empowerment of Informal Settlements".The structure of the mentioned model includes six cycles, which are governance, participation and trust, culture and community, identity, perception of the environment and vitality of the model structure.In the second part, first, the components presented by the T-Test were compared with the theoretical mean, and then, by the multivariate regression test, the regression equations were presented to investigate the relationship between the components. The regression equations answer the level of support of the empowerment components of the biological quality of informal settlements, which was declared as the result in most of the regression equations.Conclusion:Institutional planning, formation of interdepartmental headquarters and strengthening the role and duties of institutions were presented as sub-themes of governance.The literature on empathy and synergy and participation in institutions are other important components in the participation sector. Paying attention to faith and human dignity and civic responsibility and promotion of endogenous social interactions are the main axes of the indigenous empowerment framework.Other important axes are looking at the past and paying attention to the historical precedent, adjustment and stabilization of tradition in planning.Other axes corresponding to the six cycles of the spiral model are given in the form of the final framework of indigenous empowerment of the informal settlement with an emphasis on the native origin of the residents. According to the cycles of the spiral model, the text of the final interview was prepared and 39 components were used to develop the final framework.Presented. Among the residents, the social customs of the elders and influential people of the tribe have an acceptable and influential position in helping to solve issues related to various areas of the residents' lives, and in solving the problems and dilemmas of the tribe members with the residents of other tribes living in the settlement.It is effective according to the existence of tribal blood and social interactions and relative and causal relations between clan members and other clans of the settlement, in the case of educating the residents and familiarizing them with the culture of the city and citizenship and taking advantage of the social potential of influential and organized people.The role of these people in the form of non-governmental organizations can be useful as mediators facilitating relations between service providers on behalf of the government and the people in order to solve problems and pave the way for the empowerment of residents. Respecting the tribal values and looking back, actions such as creating a house-neighborhood (formation of the local management core) for local actions (bottom-up approach) are important in the local empowerment of the informal settlement.Therefore, by recognizing local-traditional institutions, urban planners and designers have strengthened the belief in collective wisdom among residents and have included human dignity in planning.On the other hand, the design considerations for the optimal use of natural potential (congruence of the plan and context) and the principled design in accordance with the conditions, in inducing a sense of readability and belonging to the place, were evaluated positively, which managers and urban planners should pay due attention to in the aspect of physical planning.

        The purpose of the current research is to identify the components of empowerment strategy, transformational leadership and Job Involvement to be used in the strategic integrated model of human resource empowerment in water and wastewater companies of West and East Azarbaijan provinces based on the meta-synthesis approach.

In other words, none of the conducted studies have used a comprehensive model in the process of empowering human resources, just like the leading research. This research is one of the first studies that can be used as a basis for the development and theoretical expansion of concepts related to the process of human resource empowerment, in the form of a strategic integrated model of human resource empowerment in organizations, especially industrial organizations such as water and wastewater companies in the field of application and research. In this research, qualitative meta-synthesis approach and Barroso and Sandelowski's method were used. In this way, the components related to the integrated model by analyzing domestic and foreign articles in a specific time frame (1392-1400) and (2013-2021) and using the opinion of experts (with experience in the field of water and wastewater industry) and based on The Critical Appraisal Skills Program was identified. In the following, the conceptual model resulting from the meta-synthesis method and the Critical Appraisal Skills Program were presented. Manuscript profile

        Gender discrimination and inequality caused by domination over women is a prevalent global phenomenon, and has made them face the limitation of equal access to opportunities, facilities, sources of power and influence in different societies. One of the main solutions of international institutions for this problem is the women's empowerment policy. This policy has also been taken into consideration in Iran and policies and plans have been made by the relevant authorities. However, objective evidence shows that the situation of women is not much favorable. According to the World Economic Forum, in 2019, Iran was ranked 148 among 153 countries in terms of gender discrimination. The aim of this research is to identify the reasons for acceptance of male domination, by women in Iran. To conduct the research, the available quantitative and qualitative data were collected, and to test the hypothesis, the "critical analysis" method was used. The theoretical approach of the article is also based on the principles and concepts of critical theory. The findings of the research show that women's submissiveness is in part formed as a result of the influence of cultural-educational elements. Therefore, as long as the educational system, the media and scientific, cultural and religious platforms that have a general audience, reproduce, justify and promote attitudes, beliefs, and relations based on legitimizing inequality and discrimination, we will see no meaningful change in the status of women in society.

Hence it is absolutely vital to explore the extent of process productivity by employing innovative techniques that can rectify and reform current processes and do more social justice to the impoverished helping the empowered ones withdraw the support cycle and stand on their own feet. The researchers in the present study were, thus, concerned with the question whether the process model of social work delivery and empowerment in Imam Khomeini Relief Committee was sufficiently productive to achieve the organizational goals or needed to be redesigned. To this end, a questionnaire was administered to collect the research data concerning the extent to which the goals of the model were achieved after its implementation with regard to identification, guidance, acceptance, needs analysis, prioritization, and provision of general and specific services for the needy clients in line with the overall empowerment approach. The data were further incrementally analyzed via the Crisp-Data mining at different stages of data mining. Finally, the compilation of data mining results could predict the accuracy of the model through Rough stood 0.86, Decision Tree 0.80, Bayes theory 0.70 and Artificial Neural Networks 0.85. The proposed model, hence, was proved to enjoy the desired productivity for achieving organizational goals. The findings might be employed by prospective researchers to redesign and optimize productivity models in other Non-Government organizations in line with organizational goals. Manuscript profile

The data of the questionnaires were analyzed in descriptive and inferential statistics level comprising Pearson correlation coefficient test, step by step regression, simultaneous regression, multivariate analysis of variance and through Spss 16.5 software. The findings indicate that there is a positive and significant correlation among all aspects of quality of work life and psychological empowerment with staff productivity. In the step by step regression, the dimension of growth opportunity and continuous security as well as the dimension of influence had the best capacity to predict productivity. Among the demographic variables, only gender interaction &times; work experience and age interaction &times; gender have led to the difference in the average scores of the staff in productivity.

        Ever-growing changes and uncertainty in the environment in which organisations must function increase the requirements for them to adequately react to market needs and to improve product or service quality. In the knowledge society, where changes in information and technological innovations are incredibly rapid and where the development speed of environment and the society increases constantly, organizations and profit seeking enterprises are forced to learn and improve continually in order to be successful. The purpose of this research is to reveal how to present a concept of a learning organization and to discuss the necessity to establish such an organization with its needs and characteristics. The dimension that distinguishes learning organizations from traditional organizations is the mastery of certain basic principles. The five basic Principles that Peter Senge identifies are: 1) system thinking 2) personal mastery 3) mental models 4) shared vision and 5) team learning. In this research, for identifying learning organization in the sample under study, the learning process based on Senge's five disciplines has been evaluated. The statistical population includes managers (middle and operational) and staff (administrative and technical) of West Azerbaijan electric power distributing company with BA/BSC and M.A/MSc degrees. A researcher-made questionnaire has been used for evaluating the five principles in this organization. After distributing and gathering the relevant questionnaires, the data have been analyzed by appropriate descriptive and inferential statistics. The research findings indicate that the mentioned company is not a learning organization and there are obstructions in the face of this organization. So effective guidelines have been presented for the sample under study to become a learning organization. Manuscript profile

        One of the clearest indicators of fast growth in cities in developing countries like Iran is informal settlements. In this research, the situation of informal settlements in Varamin has been analyzed. The settlements include five neighborhoods including Lorabad, Amroabad, Gol Tappeh, Sakina Banoo, Deh Shrifa. This is a descriptive-analysis research. In this regard, the qualities of life in these neighborhoods have been examined in both objective and subjective aspects. Therefore, a random sampling was used where 381 people were selected in order to measure the subjective quality of the residents. Then the situation of economic, social, and physical indexes of these neighborhoods were assessed using questionnaire and field observations. The objective quality of these neighborhoods was assessed using statistics and official documents too. The GIS and SPSS software were used to evaluate the correlation between objective and subjective indicators. According to the research findings, the correlation between two objective and subjective indicators was 0.90 which was very high. However, the residents&rsquo; satisfaction level of the physical, economic, and social situations was very low. The average public satisfaction form neighborhood situation based on the Likert scale (1-5) was just 2.32. This shows unfavorable situation of the neighborhoods as far as municipal services, as well as economic and physical status are considered. In total, we can conclude that due to the lack of attention on the part of Varamin authorities and its municipality to use of existed barren lands efficiently, and the lack of attention to waste lands have all led to the growth of informal settlements and illegal constructions and if we do not focus on these matters on time, they will be expanded and become worse problems in future.

        ارتباط بین توانمند سازی زنان و اعتبارات خرد در بسیاری از کشورها از جمله ایران مورد بررسی قرار گرفته است. اما مطالعات کمی تأثیر مسیر مصرف مالی خرد در توانمندسازی زنان را بررسی کرده اند. بنابراین ، هدف از این مطالعه پاسخ به این سوال مهم است که مسیر مصرف اعتبار خرد چه تاثیری در توانمندسازی زنان دارد. در این تحقیق 13 مصرف اعتبار توسط زنان مشخص شد. این مسیرها را می توان به سه مسیر کلی تقسیم کرد: (1) راه اندازی یک شغل خرد (2) سرمایه گذاری وام بصورت غیرمستقیم با امکان بازگشت وام (3) مصرف وام بدون امکان بازگشت. جامعه آماری این پژوهش شامل 800 نفر از زنان در شهرستان نهاوند بود که از اعتبارات خرد استفاده کرده‌اند. حجم نمونه بر اساس جدول کرجسی و مورگان 260 نفر تعیین و نمونه‌گیری به صورت طبقه‌ای با انتساب متناسب انجام شد. پایایی و روایی پرسشنامه، به &rlm;ترتیب با استفاده از ضریب آلفای کرونباخ (بیش&rlm;تر از 7/0) و روش اعتبار محتوایی مورد تأیید قرار گرفت. تجزیه و تحلیل داده&rlm;ها با نرم &rlm;افزار SPSS20 انجام شد. نتایج نشان داد که زنان در مسیر اول از دو گروه دیگر توانمندی بیشتری دارند. مصرف وام در مسیر سوم، اگرچه زنان را بیشتر از مسیر سوم توانمند خواهد کرد اما نتایج مقایسه میانگین، میانگین توانمندی اقتصادی گروه دوم و سوم تفاوت معناداری با هم ندارند. بنابراین ضروری است که موسسات پرداخت کننده اعتبارات خرد با بررسی اساسی قوانین پرداخت این گونه اعتبارات، کنترل بیشتری بر نحوه استفاده زنان از اعتبار خود اعمال کنند.

        The main objective of this study was to Predicting Empowerment of Female employees of the Ministry of Sport and Youth Based on Glass Ceiling and Organizational Justice. The statistical sampling of research consists of 170 female Employees of Ministry of Sport and Youth. The data collection instrument involved Glass Ceiling questionnaire (Ahmadi,1394), Employees Empowerment questionnaire (Spreitzer,1992), Organizational Justice questionnaire (Niehoff and Moorman, 1993) and Psychological Capital questionnaire (Luthans, 2007). The reliability of questionnaires was obtained as 0.78, 0.80, 0.70 and 0.71 respectively. Then, one sample T-Test was used to compare the means, Discriminant Correlation Coefficient to examine the relationships between variables in terms of the moderating role of organizational justice and Multiple Regression to predict and explain the empowerment variable. The results indicated that glass ceiling and organizational justice can predict women&rsquo;s levels of empowerment strongly. This means that a unit of standard deviation increase in glass ceiling reduced the standard deviation of empowerment variable to -0.23. Also, a unit of standard deviation increase in organizational justice led to a 0.79 increase in standard deviation of empowerment variable.It is recommended that the Ministry of Sport and Youth take positive measures to support Employees to improve their self-confidence and self-esteem so that they can break Glass Ceiling to increase their empowerment.

The study method was descriptive- correlation. Statistical society of this study was comprised of all employees of youth and sports general directorate of guilan state (110 people). Statistical sample was chosen equal to population (allpeople method). The study material included three questionnaire; person-job fit (Lauver&amp;Brown, 2001); structural empowerment (Kordnaeij et all, 1394) and effectiveness (Chelladurai, 1987). Content validity of material was verified by 10 professors of sportive management and its reliability was verified through Cronbakh alpha (relatively 0/96, 0/88, 0/89). In order to analyze the data, the method of structural equations modeling in PLS software was used. The results showed that person-job fit has a significant relationship with structural empowerment (P=6/272; R=0/487), but its relationship with organizational effectiveness was not significant (P=1/511; R=_0/123). Also, structural empowerment has a significant relationship with organizational effectiveness (P=10/815; R=0/744). In this way, although person-job fit didn&rsquo;t have significant relationship with organizational effectiveness directly, but indirectly through mediator variable, structural empowerment it can lead to improvement in organizational effectiveness.&nbsp; It can be concluded that lack of significant relationship between person-job fit and organizational effectiveness and meanwhile the existence of significant relationship between them through mediator variable, structural empowerment is indicative of the fact that necessarily in an organization, a very high person-job fit doesn&rsquo;t lead to effectiveness but empowerment and continuous training has a very determining role.

        گذراندن موفقیت آمیز آزمون های ورودی دانشگاه (UEE) از دیرباز دغدغه اصلی دانش آموزان دبیرستانی ایرانی بوده است. هدف این تحقیق این بود که چگونه دانشجویان سال اول ارزیابی نمونه کارها را برای تقویت توانمندی خود تجربه می کتتد و چگونه (عدم) توانمندی ارزیابی خود در بخش انگلیسی امتحانات ورودی دانشگاه متجلی می شود. شرکت کنندگان در این نظرسنجی 100 نفر از دانشجویان دوره اول TEFL بودند که از دانشگاه های شیراز، تهران و اصفهان به صورت آگاهانه انتخاب شدند. برای جمع آوری اطلاعات مورد نیاز نه تنها از یک پرسشنامه معتبر بلکه از مصاحبه گروهی نیزاستفاده شد. برای تجزیه و تحلیل و به تصویر کشیدن داده ها، محققین از روش های آماری توصیفی استفاده کردند. یافته‌ها نشان داد که دانش‌آموزان مورد تحقیق برنامه نمونه کارها را برای تقویت توانمندی خود ارزشمند می‌دانند. علاوه براین، شرکت کنندگان در مورد عدم تواتمند سازی انگلیسی آزمون ورودی دانشگاه موافق بودند. علاوه براین، نتایج بر نیاز به روش‌های اجرایی بیشتر ارزیابی شامل استفاده از پورتفولیو در UEE تاکید داشت. با توجه به نتایج، پیشنهادات ارزشمندی برای سیاستگذاران و نیز سازندگان این آزمون مهم ارایه گردید.

        This study aimed to develop a university students&rsquo; comprehensive psychological empowerment package and to determine&nbsp;its effectiveness onhealth-oriented academic lifestyle behaviors. With a quasi-experimental study, 36 students in the experimental group (18 subjects) and control group (18 subjects) before and after training, responded to the health-oriented academic lifestyle facilitator/preventive questionnaire (Salehzadeh, Shokri &amp; Fathabadi, 2017a). The experimental group received 10 sessions of the empowerment package (2 hours a session). The results indicated that the psycho-educational package was effective in increasing the rate of referrals to behaviors such as academic optimism, academic engagement, and academic resilience, and in decreasing the rate of referrals to behaviors such as learned helplessness, avoidance of help-seeking, passive aggression, self-handicapping, avoidance of effort, academic dishonesty and maladaptive perfectionism. The findings suggest that attempting to enhance the interpersonal skills of the participants by helping them to expand their psychological capital and their psychosocial resources such as optimism, coping behaviors, resilience, psychological control, self-esteem, ambiguity tolerance and social support, and subsequent empowerment of individuals to reduce stressful experiences, adaptation to negative events and maintain satisfactory relationships with other, mayresult in mental immunization in students.&nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Achieving the goals of the country's 20-year vision requires developing the capacity for creativity and innovation. Strengthening the country's innovation capacity leads to innovation and empowerment of companies and ultimately economic growth. Today, with the advances made in science and technology and its complexity in the business world, the development of knowledge and technology is not within the capabilities of an individual or a small and medium company, but requires interactions with large companies and strategic cooperation. The purpose of this study is to apply the open innovation model in empowering small and medium enterprises (SMEs) for strategic cooperation with large companies. In other words, we find out how open innovation helps small and medium-sized businesses build their competitive advantage through innovation and partnerships with larger companies, and reduce the risks around them. In this research, a qualitative research method based on field theory has been used and interviews with 20entrepreneurial and elite managers of the cosmetics industry specializing in strategic cooperation have been conducted.

        Spiritual intelligence and emotional intelligence are two important components that are very effective on human activity. Spiritual intelligence causes flexibility in behavior, self-awareness and a person's vision of life and its purposefulness. Emotional intelligence also causes people to monitor their feelings and emotions, distinguish and recognize them and use this information as a guide for thinking and behavior. Meanwhile, empowerment is one of the most important techniques in order to increase employee productivity and optimal use of their capacity and abilities in line with organizational goals. This research has been conducted with the aim of connecting spiritual intelligence and emotional intelligence with the empowerment of teachers in the 11th education district of Tehran. This research is descriptive-quantitative, and three questionnaires of King's spiritual intelligence, Wang and Lau's emotional intelligence, and Spritzer's empowerment were used to conduct it, and data analysis was done using SPSS software. The results of the research show that emotional intelligence is related to the empowerment of teachers in the 11th education district of Tehran (P-Value = 0.027), while there is no significant relationship between spiritual intelligence and the empowerment of teachers in the 11th education district of Tehran (0.793 = P-Value).

In this study, data related to measure the achievement of practical goals by distributing questionnaires were collected among 100 colleagues of the Relief Committee in 21 cities of West Azerbaijan province and using CRISP-DM methodology, various stages based on data mining were performed. In order to answer the main research question, the data related to 4687 clients who had gone through the existing process were examined through process analysis techniques. The results showed that the implemented model met the four qualitative criteria in terms of simplicity of the researcher. But in order to achieve full compliance, generality and accuracy, redesign is required. In this regard, by eliminating the repetition ring in route 3, the initial model was redesigned to fully achieve the practical goals, taking into account the demands of socially vulnerable groups, while honoring and increasing the level of satisfaction of the target community, as a successful model by other people's organizations.

        Today, science and technology policymaking has become one of the most important components in the development programs and documents of countries. From this point of view, science and technology take on different meanings and identities depending on the field of discourse. Therefore, the present study investigates the discourse analysis of science and technology policy in the fifth development program with the discourse analysis method of Laclau and Mouffe. The studied population was all the articles, clauses and notes included in the law of the fifth development plan, which were studied as a whole. The findings show that the discourse of science and technology policy in the fifth plan law is surrounded by meanings such as "commercialization of knowledge and technology", "targeted material support" and "professional competence". The floating sign of human empowerment is "idea-centric". Around the central sign, there are null signs in the discourse of the fifth development program of "negation of internal dependence" and "educational justice" which, despite the hegemony of the "universal-centered/world-centered" of the West, create the conditions for breaking the construction of the dominant hegemony. culture-oriented/landscape-oriented" have provided. The most important breaks and moments around the Central Plateau are "expansion of the quantity and quality of knowledge and technology", "closer to global standards", "launching science and technology poles and parks" and "fundamental transformation in science and technology (the software leap of science)" that these signs are also associated with a kind of myth-making due to the high prominence and neglect of general-centered/world-centered power; In this sense, by marginalizing "university" and "western and secular science", the culture-oriented/landscape-oriented hegemony has tried to destroy the myth of "achieving the second scientific and technological position in the region and stabilizing it until the end of the fifth plan". make the path.

        Abstract: The purpose of this research is to determine the relationship between the empowerment of social workers working in social emergency mobile services of welfare organization across the country and their job&rsquo;s efficiency. The sample size includes 158 social workers working in social emergency mobile services of welfare organization across the country. That was selected by the systematic random sampling method all over the country. The main research question is about that what is the relationship between empowerment and job efficiency of social workers working in the social emergency mobile services of welfare organization across the country? In order to study the components of empowerment and job efficiency, it was used a standardized empowerment questionnaire (Spritzer and Mishra, 1995) and job efficiency questionnaire (Hersey and Goldsmith, 1980). Reliability of both questionnaires was confirmed by using Cronbach's alpha coefficient 798/0 and 880/0, respectively. The validity of both questionnaires was confirmed via CVR content validity method. In this research, the independent variable of empowerment is 5 component and 15 questions and also demographic characteristics is 5 questions and dependent variable of job efficiency is 7 component and 26 questions. Total components of the independent variables have been studied with the dependent variable. Statistical analysis of the research questions was performed by univariate and bivariate descriptions, Spearman&rsquo; rank correlation coefficient test, &nbsp;Kendall's tau C coefficient&nbsp;test, Post Hoc test, Bonferroni Post Hoc test and multivariate analysis of regression. The results show that there is a significant relationship between empowerment variable and job efficiency variable. However, it was shown that in multivariate analysis of regression, from the 5 components of empowerment (sense of competence, independence, effectiveness, confidence and a sense of significance) most variable that is predictable for improve job efficiency, is sense of independence with (42 / 0%) and , is sense of confidence with (35/0). A component of significant wasn&rsquo;t extensible with 048/0% and components of competence and effectiveness senses are negative. Regarding to demographic characteristics it has been recognized that none of these characteristics (Age, sex, education, field of study and work experience) have any positive impact on improving efficiency; even all of them indicate the opposite effect on improving efficiency with negative values. But also empowering effect on improving efficiency is predictable. Manuscript profile
