Measuring government is among the major challenges faced by public policy makers in any country. The origin of measuring the government performance is the managerial paradigm of political system. Public policies are reflections of government management. For measuring policy outcomes, a measurement system must be designed. The public value model can be used for measuring policy outcomes. In this paper, a model for is proposed measuring public policy performance based public value model.

Structural transformations are not new phenomena in Iranian National Administration but in recent decade, the transformations in government ministries have increased. The important question of the scholars and practitioners of administration in government is: what are the reasons of these transformations? Regardless of methodology of theses transformations, the author focuses on theoretical analysis of these reorganizations. Purposive, environmental, public policy making and intuitional approaches are selected approaches for this analysis.   Keywords: Government Structural Transformations, Designing New Ministries, Theoretical Analysis, Government Administration, Theoretical Frameworks.

The engines of software movement in Iran are universities and research institutions. This movement, reflected in scientific production, is a product of basic, applied and evaluation research. PH.D and master degree students can play an important role in scientific production. Student’s dissertations and scientific papers can be a channel for rendering Iran scientific products. Indeed, universities not only transfer knowledge but also by academic researches, create knowledge and disseminate it in society. This created knowledge (Theory) must be evaluated. Therefore, in this paper, first we will discuss relationship between knowledge and theory, then offer a short viewpoint about concept of theory and building bricks of it and suggest some criteria for evaluating new theories in social science.

Complexity theory is the science of studying adaptive complex system. This science includes chaos theory, self-organization theory and fractal geometry. The origin of this theory is in Biology. Although there are common elements between ontology, epistemology and methodology of complexity theory and postmodernism, we can’t say complexity theory is a postmodern theory because there are also similarities between complexity science and positivism paradigm. In this paper, we will compare complexity theory to postmodernism and positivism and the result is that complexity theory is not fully a postmedern theory.

Managing complexity requires complex mechanisms. Network problems need network resolutions. for achieving the goal of Iranian vision. Designing network public administaration is nesessary. Trational public administration and new public management can not implement networked governance. There is a connection between the type of problems faced by human and management knowledge for addressing these problems. One of them is public administration. All political systems select appropriate managerial style based on their political, social, economical and cultural conditions. Islamic political system also has its own management tradition. Therefore, Iranian political system must select a management system that fits with Iranain vision. In this paper, we will explore the theoretical, and practical foundations of network public administration and discuss the rationales of emerging network governance and its connection with various management movements as well as the steps of implementing network public administration in Iran.

In recent years, public sector performance and public perception of the values created by this sector through public services has become a center of focus for many researchers in public administration. Substantial research has been conducted to develop metrics for measuring public sector performance in different contexts. The present study followed an applied approach to develop a model for measuring public sector performance in creating public values. To this end, after a thorough review of the existing literature, a quantitative survey-based study was conducted which resulted in identifying a fairly comprehensive list of common values in four categories: moral, professional, humanistic and democratics; the face and content validity of which were approved by a Panel of Experts. Subsequently, a questionnaire was developed based on the values inferred in the first stage, and handed to the sample population, consisting of the clients of state banks (Melli Bank, Sepah Bank & Keshavarzi Bank). Construct validity of the values was confirmed using SPSS software output and factor analysis. The final step was to evaluate the measurement model using partial least squares method and PLS software. At this stage, values with factor loading less than 0.4 were excluded from the measurement model and 18 remaining values were confirmed in the four above-mentioned categories.

The government, through its policies, is trying to expand the boundaries of accountability by monitoring and evaluation. Therefore designing a monitoring and evaluation system in each of the areas of government activities, in addition to learning policy, also helps to improve policies and policy making. Increasing demand for knowledge, endeavors of top sovereignty in committing to science and technology, developing a comprehensive scientific map, changing the admissions system, expansion of academic education and research institutions, requires the need for developing a monitoring and evaluation of the policies of the Ministry of Education. In this study, a monitoring and evaluation model is designed using five criteria includes Relevancy, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability, and impact by results-based management. This model is tested in the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology. Results show that the groundwork for the development of this model started from the introduction of monitoring and evaluation and the three main groups demand-driven assessment include Sovereignty, state and civil society which provide  its way through results-based management chain .

Education, and in particular, work experience is merely a "fit" and when it is worthwhile the origin of the formation of a phenomenon called "capacity" in individuals, such capacity is itself the source of work performance. The existential philosophy of individual, group, organizational, and national education systems is also the formation of a potential called "capacity" in students. It is a successful educational system that has succeeded in shaping this potential among its students. In the package of "competencies" required for high organizational and national managerial positions in the public sector, "work experience" is one of the most important criteria because the "work experience" seems to reduce the essence of the experimental error of decision-making by managers. Although several studies have elucidated the role of "work experience" in enhancing work performance, less study has been done on the negative consequences of excessive reliance on "work experience" in choosing managers in the public sector. The final goal of this study is to analyze work experience "based on" competency-capacity-performance "model and to analyze the negative consequences of" experience "in choosing governmental and national government managers. Therefore, the attitudinal, spoken and behavioral consequences of extreme reliance on work experience as the main criterion for the selection and appointment of managers are discussed. The arguments of this paper in designing the device for selecting and appointing managers in the public sector and privately can be useful.
