Professionalism is a key concept in the sociology of work, the sociology of occupations, the sociology of professions, management, public administration, Organizational Behavior and in general, organizations and societies at large. Research evidence suggests that executives and top managers have limited attitudes toward human resource function and human resource practitioners, experts and human resource managers but today, new realities of organizations in the global level have put the emphasis on professional status of human resources around the world. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to identify influencing factors on HR professionalism and the dimensions and components of human resource professionalism in organizations. In order to achieve this goal, this research has been carried out using a qualitative method (Meta-analysis). The tool for collecting data and information in this study is the past documents in this field, which generally consists of 36 articles. The method of data analysis is based on open coding. The results indicate that the factors affecting the professionalism of human resources can be based on three general categories (environmental, organizational and individual) and identified dimensions can be analyzed on nine dimensions (governing body, ethical code, independence, certification, legal status, contribution to Society, the body of knowledge, research base, identification). Finally, based on the findings of the study, suggestions are presented.

This research answers to three main questions:  what, why, and how to develop evidence-based human resource management. A systematic review (SR) is used in literature review and qualitative interpretative meta-synthesis (QIMS) in synthesis and interpretation of data. 25 original articles were selected during the search, synthesis, and interpretation process, which eventually led to uptake of five dominant views about the concept of evidence-based human resource management (EBHR). Also, using this approach we found that it will improve the organization's outcomes and increase its competitiveness. Finally, by referring and exploring the literature on how to develop this approach in medical and health care field, we provide a framework for developing the model that is consist of thee sectors: process of evidence-based practice in human resources, influential factors or organizational determinants, and external factors or determinants. Each of these sectors will improve and develop evidence based practice approach in human resources management.

One of the most important research topics in HRM field of study in recent decades, is the study of HRM-performance relationship. The importance of these studies is so much, as they imply both micro and macro implications of HR practices, encompass HRM influences on performance outcomes, and also the existence reason of HR practices and the nature of its practices. However, a body of researches have scientifically criticized/questioned the findings of aforementioned previous studies. These criticisms often comprise the methodological aspects of previous studies. Current study, in two phases, has been done by considering the importance of prementioned issue and the lack of a study in order to introduce and summarize those criticisms. First, we applied “mixed research synthesis” approach as one of the subsidiaries of meta-synthesis method. By studying and summarizing 40 valid critical papers in this field of study, we have presented and explained a five-dimensioned guiding map for introducing the criticisms on the HRM-performance researches. In order to assess research validity, CASP standard checklist was applied, and to determine the reliability, Cohen's Kappa was used in SPSS software which was confirmed by resulting in 0/762.  In the second phase, the five dimensions, found in the former phase, were prioritized with AHP method.

effectiveness, and risk management are vital for enterprises which encounter the pressure to survive in the competitive marketplace. There are assessment tools developed to aid organizations in this regard. In this research an assessment model for collaborative maturity in inter-organizational networks is introduced. We have first investigated collaborative models, conceptual collaborative frameworks and the model for collaborative maturity, “collaborative maturity in inter-organizational networks” and interoperability. After analyzing the maturity models, five levels are resulted; independent, temporary, coordinated, standardized and optimized. Using the “Design Science ” approach and “Meta Synthesis” research methodology, seven dimensions (structural, moral, process, data & information, strategy, systems and innovation) and twenty-five indexes are extracted. In the next stage the proposed model has been assessed based on experts’ opinion. A binary testing has been applied to analyze the questionnaires. All indexes were approved and none were omitted. Using Friedman testing, components of each dimension are then prioritized. Weighted average method has been used to calculate weight of components to determine the final score for each component. Using another questionnaire, we studied Iranian Milk Industry Commercial Company which has had collaborations in Shabab network. The collaboration maturity level in network was between 1 and 2. Finally, based on the literature review, solutions are proposed to achieve higher levels of the maturity and improve the weaknesses of the company.

This research aims to develop a conceptual model, and identify the components of Internet marketing mix. The research has been designed and implemented through a mixed methods design (quantitative -qualitative). The integrated approach used for collecting qualitative data in order to develop a conceptual model was Meta Synthesis. The quantitative data were collected through a questionnaire, and analyzed through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis using the SPSS and LISREL software tools. A total number of 180 questionnaires through a random sampling were distributed among the domain related experts (academicians and professionals), Finally, after collection and control, 145 questionnaires were analyzed. According to other results, the internet marketing mix consists of both integrated internet and common marketing mix. Based on factor loadings, it was revealed that the Internet marketing mix is more important than the common one. Applying a mixed methods design for identifying important components of Internet marketing mix could be considered as the originality and novelty of this research.

Solidarity is a process whereby countries that are behind the technology front line, compensate for their technological divide with advanced countries and can compete with those countries in market share. In the process of solidarity, different countries have taken different paths, some leading to success and some leading to failure. Therefore, a proper strategy and framework and an appropriate level of technological capability and absorption capacity are essential. Given the extensive literature and the lack of a framework for consistency, the purpose of this study was to derive a framework based on a systematic review of articles and analyze them based on the hyperbolic method and data theory. The framework was extracted from the study of 90 articles published by 2018 in the field of management and business in the Q1 and Q2 scopes of JSC Scopus or JCR to finally provide a framework for technological catch up. This framework has provided a paradigmatic model based on the data process of the foundation and combined with previous research. Finally, three general approaches for consistency including independence, cooperation and participation were introduced and each of the 6 paradigm model categories was explained for these three approaches. In addition to the paradigmatic model, the results of this study have identified the literature gap.

Business development in multiple industries and markets results in platform competition. Emerging approach requires adopting new managerial perspectives and defining appropriate business models. Reliability and performance of a platform besides on the capability of the platform owner, depends on the capabilities of partners and their bilateral and multilateral relations. So, relying on the principals of linear business modeling to design platform business models does not seem effective. This study aimed to fill the existing research gap in the field of platform business model and provide a comprehensive framework for developing business models tailored to the needs and specifications of the platforms. So, literature systematic review and meta-synthesis method is used to identify the components of the platform business model. Extracting research studies (2008-2019) from valid scientific databases and refinements based on specific criteria, 32 selected research articles has been analyzed. Consequently, a framework is defined to design platform business model in two levels, the first including six dimensions and the second 22 components. Proposed model is based on cooperation and value co-creation in, which is the platform core competency.
