The data were analyzed using structural equations. Attending to the non-normal distribution of the data as indicated by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, a non-parametric test was used to analyze the relationships. Combined reliability, internal consistency, and internal validity of the model, as well as the predictive validity at construct level, were proved during data analysis. Positive values of the CV Com index were suggestive of the high quality of the model. Finally, the GOF index was found to be 0.723.

In the quantitative section, the final model of decision-making behavior of the individual investors was extracted using structural equations and fitted out. In the capital market of Iran, the model of the behavior of individual investors begins with cultural factors. In other words, the underlying factor in the behavior of investors is the factor of culture. The theory that emotional biases are prior to cognitive biases is not confirmed in this research. Personality has a positive relationship with herding behavior. In other words, category of anxiety in stockholders, increases the volume of their herding behavior. Manuscript profile

bureaucratic culture on the reduction of protein talent of R&D staff in state-owned pharmaceutical companies. Conclusion: The results of the analysis of the research data show that authoritarian leaders consider employees as inherently lazy and responsible as the X-McGregor theory and try to bring about bureaucratic culture in their organization under their strict control. . In such an environment, no diversification of work and promotion of excessive skill and knowledge are required, and any effort beyond the established standards will result in severe penalties. Therefore, the process of nurturing protein talent in such an organization is definitely going downhill, and even if one sets his or her career path apart from organizational goals, he or she will face severe penalties or be forced out of the organization.
