A major economic issue in Iran that has intensified in the past few years has related to privatization and its implementation in the economy. This interpretation of privatization has been mentioned in Article 44 of the Constitution in Iran. According to this new criteria for evaluating businesses, are public companies better than private ones? In the other words, In the Iranian economy, can privately owned entities better achieve value creation than publicly owned companies? This paper investigates the relationships between types of company ownership (in terms of government patronage) and uses new financial criteria of performance assessment in addition to criteria assessing value creation in companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. The study covers a 9-year period, and it examines the relationship between ownership type and performance of firms employing new criteria of value creation. Hypotheses are presented and examined by means of correlation, simple linear regression, and comparisons of two tests. The results indicate that there is a significant relationship between the percentage of government ownership of company stock and value creation: private companies, whose proportion of government ownership is less than 50 percent, have greater value creation. In addition, a meaningful relationship exists between the use of new metrics to measure performance based on value (i.e., economic value added and cash value added) and traditional measures (i.e., return on assets and return on equity). In conclusion, privately owned companies are better value creators than publicly held companies.

The approach is a survey of 156 senior executives and human resource managers of Iranian companies and organizations and statistical test of research hypotheses through structural equation modeling. The results indicate that the extent that employees have access to HR commitment practices and HR social benefits is positively related to the intensity of telework adoption. Firm performance is positively associated to the intensity of telework adoption, functional flexibility and internal numerical flexibility, and negatively related to external numerical flexibility. HR commitment practices impact directly and indirectly on different measures of firm performance. Cross-sectional, survey-based data that cannot infer causality. Longitudinal and qualitative designs are needed to get a better understanding of the relationships. Data were analyzed by using hierarchical regression and t-student tests. The adoption of HR commitment practices can facilitate the organizational change required by the adoption of telework. The findings provide evidence that HR commitment practices are indirectly related to firm performance through their effects on the use of flexibility practices like telework that require organizational climates containing high levels of trust.
