In this paper, the results of the key factors affecting the hypocritical behavior of the Iranian state-owned companies and solutions based on Islamic texts are presented by the analytic hierarchy process approach. The methodology is descriptive-scrolling and experts were chosen based on judgmental sampling. Based on the findings, experts identified that 14 factors affect the detection of hypocritical behaviors. Based on the Analytical Hierarchy Process, individual factors, in comparison to organizational factors, have a higher impact on detecting hypocritical behaviors in the organization. In addition, "high Machiavellianism" has the greatest impact and "managers` lawbreaking behaviors, " along with "Organizational silence" have the least impact on the incidence of such behavior in the organization. Solutions based on Quran verses and hadith and Islamic texts that have been prioritized are: the use of meritocracy-based selection and promotion system of human resources; promoting a culture of criticism and avoiding ceremony and praise based on promoting virtue and preventing vice; using appropriate performance appraisal system based on avoidance of unfair reward and punishment; and anti-praise and the decisive and violent encounter with hypocrisy and flattery.

We conduct our research based on descriptive-correlation method. Our data were collected through designed questionnaire from 296 employees in Tabriz Petrochemicals Company who had access to the Internet. To analyze the gathered data, we used Stepwise Regression. Results elicited by Regression test showed that non-Internet loafing (β =0. 371, p<0. 00) Internet self-efficacy (β =0. 296, p<0. 00), positive attitude toward cyberloafing (β =0. 172, p<0. 00), and perceived coworkers cyberloafing (β =0. 133, p<0. 00) are meaningful predictions for cyberloafing. Hence, participants involved in cyberloafing behaviors tend to have a high level of Internet self-efficacy and non-Internet loafing. Further, they have a positive attitude toward cyberloafing and perceive it as a general norm in the organization.
