  This paper is to examine the effects of manager-specific characteristics on the efficiency of the commercial banks in Iranian banking system. To this aim, a one-stage stochastic frontier panel data model has been applied for a unique data set constructed based on the important characteristics related to the managers of the branches such as age, gender, education, experience, tenure in managerial position in the bank as well as managers mobility in a sampled branches of the EN Bank in Tehran over 1385 – 1387. The results show that the increase of managers’ age (till a specific period) as well as the duration of their activity in the bank can lead to greater efficiency of the branches. Moreover, managers’ education level and their academic education level as well as their movement within the branches have the indirect effects on the efficiency of the branches.JEL Classification: D22,D29,D62,C59 Manuscript profile

  2 - The Concept of "Beyond Being" and the Absence of "Relation" in Plotinus’ Thoughts

  Plotinus used the concept of “Beyond Being” for “The One”, in order totranscend it from any kind of definition, determination and multiplicity. Suchtranscendence causes a great gap between the source of existence and allbeings, and it challenges the most important mystical elements such as“relation” and “love”. Plotinus, in his philosophical attitude, has no signs ofmystical passion and enthusiasm which are the characteristics of the easternpoetic mysticism. Although Plotinus’ thinking has been the background oftheoretical mysticism and has affected eastern philosophers and mystics, hismysticism essentially is based on Greek philosophical thinking. The conceptof “Beyond Being” is very similar to the idea of “the Good” of Plato. In fact,Plotinus owes this concept to Plato’s theories. By Using this concept and bystripping “the One” from all familiar human characteristics such as thought,love, consciousness, will, and forgiveness, Plotinus describes “the One” as anunknown and unfamiliar concept; so it could be said that his God is a cold andsilent one. On the other hand, the transcendence of "the One" in the idea of"Beyond Being" changes the concept of "creation" into "emanation"; soPlotinus did not need to explain about the absence of God’s attributes such aswill and consciousness. Due to the absence of the concept of "relation", thereis no sign of "faith" in mystical philosophy of Plotinus. In fact, by thisontology he tries to analyze and define God and human in an analytical way.By surveying the concept of "Beyond Being", we come to two generalconclusions:1) There is no "relation" between men and the source of creation, and asa result, there is no passionate love and enthusiasm between them.2) The material world is worthless and vain; therefore, all the worldlydesires are invalid.

  Undoubtedly the concept of God is the most important and the most controversial concepts of man’s history which has engaged man’s– especially the philosophers’– attention for long.  In divine philosophy of Plato that aims at reaching to a divine and imperceptible principle– one who is absolute in essence– the concept of God has been expressed by different terms in several treatises. In Plato’s philosophy God is called by different titles such as: the Good or Good Idea, placed at the top of the ideal forms, is the cause of every beings and the origin of reality and knowledge; the One which is the most complete and the best form; and the Beauty which is absolute, eternal and self-existent. All these titles are the same and identical in essence. Plato also talks about Demiurge and calls him the Fashioner, not the Creator.  Demiurge changed the world from the state of Chaos into the Cosmos.  This article tries to study the concept of God from Plato’s viewpoint.
