Abstract
The purpose of this paper is investigating the impact of servant leadership on followership effectiveness. Model variables are selected through experimental and theoretical study. The data are obtained by survey method, based on surveying the managers and employees of 22 selected governmental organizations, then the hypotheses are investigated. This research is distinguished from other similar researches in that, instead of individual correlation analysis and ignoring other circumstances, using advanced methods, the variables have been simultaneously and two-way analyzed. In order to do this, Eviews 7.1 and spss19 are used for estimating parameters by the use of OLS method; Since there is a possibility for existence of two-way relation between the variables, three stages simultaneous equations (3SLS) is used to estimate simultaneous impacts of servant leadership on organizational effectiveness. The quantitative results of quantitative estimation of the models by the Structural Equation Modeling showed that servant leadership has positive impact on followership effectiveness.

Abstract
In the current century, the world is full of competition and unreliable environmental factors.The prerequisite for success in this field is to pay attention to the organizational culture and its changes. This paper is studying “process of strong breaking and weak training culture in Iranian state organizations”. Considering the research methodology, and using the theory of database, a suitable model was designed and tested. A sample of 25 university elites and experts selected by Snowball method, and with the help of exploratory and coding-focused interviews, 16 categories and 72 concepts obtained and then the final model presented with focused coding and selective coding. The proposed model tested and confirmed through data gathered by a validated questionnaire from 385 managers and experts of governmental organizations. In the outputs of confirmatory factor analysis LISREL8.80 software, since the factor loads of all standard model items are higher than 0.3 and the coefficients of the significant model are all above 1.96, also, fitting table indexes indicate that the model is appropriate, so all factor loads and path coefficients are meaningful. Therefore, not only the validity and reliability of the questionnaire confirmed, but also the relationships between the components of the model are acceptable. In the output of modeling the structural equations of SmartPLS software, since all the coefficients of the meaningful model are higher than 1.96, 95% of the results confirm the validation of the governing relationships on the components of the proposed model. That is, they have significant impact on each other and their path coefficient is showing the amount of effectiveness.

Abstract
Psychological safety is a critical base for individual, organizational and national performance, since managers who feel psychologically unsafe, do not have essential motives for productivity and excellence. It is reality of organizations that there are stage of jealousy, spitefulness, enmity, power games of peoples and groups. In these situations, it is important to bring about psychological safety for people in organization. Psychological safety means to feel safety in mind, emotion and behavior from side of other peoples and present personal opinions and do the jobs, without any anxiety and fear in organization. Many studies emphasis on effects of individual psychological safety based on personal, organizational and national variables, but there is not a quantitative and experimental research on formation of psychological safety in managers, especially among Iranian governmental industries. This research has taken Glaser's approach in GT to theorize process of forming psychological safety in Iranian governmental industries. Results of this research show that organizational factors, superior's leadership style, relationships between peers and subordinates and their competencies, eco-social climate of society, organizational atmosphere and psychological capital of everyone affect individual psychological safety. It can enforces job engagement, job satisfaction in managers and reduces stress and anxiety and willingness to expatriation in them.

Abstract
Relations at the work environment are unique interpersonal relationships with important outcomes for individuals and organizations. An important aspect of these relationships is the relations quality of the between the manager and the employee. The quality of manager-employee relationships is associated with a variety of important individual and organizational implications. It is expected that the staff at the higher levels of this relationship will show higher levels of performance and commitment to the organization than the low-quality relationship. Accordingly, the present study was developed with a synthetic method. In this research, the qualitative method and thematic approach, Primary codes were identified and subsequently the concepts of research were categorized. In the quantitative method, the identified index was evaluated using a questionnaire in tax offices of Tehran. The results were analyzed by exploratory factor analysis using spss software. The results of this study stating that six dimensions of Reassuring behaviors, Professional behaviors, technical skills, Human skills and Communication skills for the concept of relations quality between manager and employee and the direct and meaningful relationship between the concept of research with two variables of employee job performance and Organizational Commitment.

Abstract
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.
