The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between postural stability and lower extremity joints position sense with shooting accuracy of elementary and skilled naval military shooters. For this purpose, 137 of Taurus and musketeers in Konarak, Chabahar at Islamic Republic of Iran Navy were selected and divided in two elementary (N= 92) and skilled (N= 45) groups. Static and dynamic balance and knee and ankle position sense of all participants were measured and the relationship with the shooting accuracy in standing position was calculated. In order to find significant relationship between variables in each group, Spearman correlation statistical method was used. The findings showed a relationship between static and dynamic balance with the shooting accuracy in elementary group. Also there is a relationship between static balance and shooting accuracy in skilled shooters. In proprioception section, there was a significant relationship between knee position sense and the shooting accuracy in elementary group and between ankle position sense and accuracy shooting in skilled group. The results confirmed the importance of balance in shooting success and indicated that as the level of shooting skills increases, the importance of controlling minor movements at the static balance level and controlling the movement of the ankle increases.

A review of logistics history shows that the organization of military forces and their use on the battlefield has been a function of technological advances. Resilience as an interdisciplinary technological concept in various fields such as ecology, engineering, psychology, etc. has always been considered and after the terrorist attacks of September 11 has become doubly important and has entered the supply chain literature more quickly. The use of resilient strategies is important in gaining the competitive advantage for all organizations including military organizations and to a large extent ensures the effective performance and sustainability of supply chains in the Iranian navy. The present study has a mixed approach and is of exploratory type and is also applied in terms of purpose. In the qualitative part of the research, after conducting library studies and survey of scientific and empirical experts in this field, the supply chain framework is identified in three dimensions including: upstream supply chain (Iranian navy supplier, interface supply chain (deputy and commander of Iranian navy logistics), downstream supply chain (Iranian navy areas and bases) and also is presented in the form of a conceptual model. After performing the qualitative steps, the conceptual model of the research has been tested through SPSS and PLS and while presenting the resilience model of the supply chain of Iranian navy support system, the necessary suggestions have been presented according to the prioritization of the components by Friedman test.

The dismissal of professional staff as the human capital of organizations is one of the problems of human resource management and this issue is exacerbated by the occurrence of abnormal behaviors and the illusion of conspiracy; Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of abnormal organizational behavior on the dismissal of military personnel mediated by the illusion of organizational conspiracy, which was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlated in terms of method. The statistical population of the study consisted of 571 employees of Imam Khomeini University of Marine Sciences who were selected as a sample using a simple random sampling method based on Krejcie and Morgan table. To measure abnormal organizational behavior, Sadeghi, Moghli, Sarlak and Hozuri questionnaires (1398), Hakak, Bigdeli and Shariatnejad questionnaires (1399) and Kamen, Fitchman, Jenkins and Klish (1979) questionnaires were used. Their reliability was confirmed by calculating Cronbach's alpha (0. 79, 0. 81 and 0. 80, respectively), and their face validity was confirmed by experts, professors and experts familiar with the subject. Data analysis was performed by Pearson correlation coefficient and path analysis with the help of SPSS and 2 PLS software. Structural equation modeling findings showed that all paths from organizational abnormal behavior and the illusion of organizational conspiracy to dismissal of employees and also from the path of abnormal organizational behavior through the mediating variable of organizational conspiracy illusion to dismissal of employees are significant and the relationships between them are confirmed and can be concluded. Adopting strategies to reduce the illusion of organizational conspiracy along with managing abnormal organizational behavior can reduce employee turnover.
