Miller’s classification has 9 levels under three main classifications of physical systems , living systems and social human and ultra social systems that are as follows: Structural systems like charts, simple moving systems like galaxy, self-disciplined system like themostat. Open system like cells, multiplying systems like plants, perception systems like animals with the ability of perception, thinking system like humans, social systems like supernatural that are out of mind and calculatin. Each level has some supriority on their preceding and lower levels and those features enable them to influence and chenge the lower levels. Analysis on Mollana’s poams reveals that he believes in these level and he has mentioned them all in his poams many centuries ago, but he has brought about an other system stiil more powerful and more complete that the ultra social system and that is the system of God. In miller’s classification of the universe’s systems, after the ultra social system, there is no other system but mollana states that after reachingthe stage of angles there is the stage of God which is the most powerful system and has created the other systems, and it is he who can influence bring about change in the other systems, this shows Mollana’s Islamic views in his poems and beliefs. In Mollana’s view nothingness is the beginning of life and life is the begining of the nothingness, he goes from nothingnesses towards everything and that is towards God. He expresses the view that life is like a circle that starts from nothingness and ends in reaching God. Manuscript profile -

In this paper, we first described organizational justice and organizational silence and their dimensions and then examined the relationship between organizational silence and affective commitment. Then, the hypothesis derived from the literature were presented. Then, to verify the hypothesis of this study, 257 samples were extracted from the employees and faculties of Guilan university. For analyzing data, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis using SPSS and AMOS software were used. According to analysis, three dimensions including distributive, procedural and interactional justice for organizational justice and four dimensions including Acquiescent, defensive prosocial and Opportunistic silence for organizational silence were identified. Then, secondary hypothesis based on original hypothesis were presented. The results shows the influences of organizational justice dimensions on some of the organizational silence dimensions. Also, the results shows that three dimensions of organizational silence affects affective commitment and defensive silence has the greatest influence on affective commitment. Manuscript profile -

Un MoreThe Urmia Lake is the greatest lake in Iran and the second saline lake in the world. This ecosystem contains a wide numbers of animals and plants. Urmia Lake has placed in the northwest of Iran and has economical, social and environmental importance for local people. Unfortunately, in recent years, various and complex problems have decreased the level of water in Urmia Lake strongly and deteriorate the future life of this lake significantly. However, in the last decade, more than half of the lake area has changed to the salt plains. Many researches address the Urmia Lake crises in recent years; however, most of them are unable to model the dynamism of Urmia basin as a whole system in long-term period. In this paper, the critical factors affecting the reduction of Urmia Lake water level are defined. In addition, a system dynamics model, which is able to illustrate the behavior of the whole system of Urmia Lake, is proposed. The developed model is validated through comparison analysis and the derived results show the high accuracy (around 97%) of the proposed model. Three policies are proposed and evaluated to increase the water inflow and Lake level. The simulation results show that the hybrid policy has more efficiency than the other ones. Also, a prediction of Urmia Lake volume is proposed based on model till 1405. Manuscript profile -

At this time organization’s need to transfer knowledge of the local unit of offshoring jobs has become evident. In the process of transferring, knowledge from the source to the recipient or user, is transmitted via factors that affect the process.The aim of the present study was to identify factors influencing knowledge transfer in offshoring organizations. Content analysis is a research method used in this study. After the content analysis of more than 60 studies, a model in four levels of factors impacting knowledge transfer were identified. At the first level, three dimensions of content, the individual and the context were identifid as the effective factors in knowledge transfer process. At the second level, the following components were extracted from each dimension which affected knowledge transfer, especially in offshoring firms. Knowledge is a vital component in the content level. Confidence, motivation and capacity are effective in individual level and culture was identified to influence the context level.
