The air defense, regarding the extent that it can contribute to security, can also play a significant role in the country's defense capability, since it is the most important and most prominent part of the country's defense, and regarding the intention of the supreme leader, it is the front line of defense from country. For this reason, the authors attempted to address the role of air defense in enhancing the defense capability of I. R. of Iran as an independent macro variable and enhancement of the I. R. of Iran's defense capability as a dependent variable in order to address the main objective of the research. This research was an applied one and employed a descriptive-analytical method. Data were collected by library and field methods (interview and questionnaire), then the data collected through the interview were analyzed by discourse analysis and the data obtained by questionnaire were analyzed by software. Validity of the questionnaire was determined by content validity and two-stage distribution and its reliability was determined by Cronbach's alpha method with a score of 0. 867. The sample size was 23 individuals. Generally, the results indicate that the air defense capability is very effective and operative in enhancing the defense capability of I. R. of Iran and its enhancement will improve the defensive capability in different conditions and will be considered as one of the most efficient elements of national defense against other countries, in a way that it has a coefficient of 48% in peacetime and 52% in times of crisis.

One of the main emphases of the Supreme Leader is the continuity and progress of affairs to achieve success. To achieve this important aim, it requires a careful understanding and review of the factors and indicators that have a great impact on this goal. Recognizing these key factors and influential factors can lead to a positive feedback from the affairs and a control of the quality of the activities and projects and guide the end result to the success and progress of the affairs. The aim of this research is to determine the influential factors and indicators on the continuity of affairs and their progress in I. R. of Iran Armed Forces.

The present study tried to inspect the generational differences and differences in cultures and values within one of the military organizations. Regarding the fact that in recent decades Iran has been confronted with a variety of events such as the revolution, the postwar and postwar periods; individuals with different ages and backgrounds face with different forms of value orientations, norms and patterns of behavior across generations. In particular in military organizations where the previous generation has been involved with post-war events and there is a need for nurturing successors in these organizations. Therefore, recognizing the differences in generations gives us a better understanding of how to deal with, manage, and interact with younger generations, and this case is of paramount importance. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of difference in generational attitudes on the staff commitment as one of the behavioral patterns of employees in different generations. To this end, a questionnaire and 98 samples from a military organization with staff at different ages and backgrounds were used to collect the required data. In order to test the hypotheses, fitting the structural equations and the partial least squares (PLS), SPSS and Smart PLS softwares were used. The results indicated that the generational difference had a positive effect on the continuous and normative commitments of the military personnel under study, and a significant negative effect on the effective commitment. In other words, the younger generations have higher effective commitments and lower normative and continuous commitments in comparison with the more experienced ones.

Resistant economics is a knowledge-based, industrious, productive, increasingly value-added, and risk-averse economic in today's turbulent world and indicate a set of economic behaviors that have led to the strengthening of Islamic governance infrastructure, so that it has used all the potential and active capacities to promote impartial welfare in society. One of the sectors that due to its conditions and facilities can meet the objectives of the Resistance Economy is the agricultural sector and this important affair can easily be accomplished in the Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics because of the available conditions and facilities. In this regard, the present study aimed to formulate strategies for the development of agricultural activities of Etka Organization based on the approach of Resistance Economy. This research was a descriptive-analytical study in 2018 that was done by SWOT model through purposeful investigation of internal factors (strengths and weaknesses) and external factors (opportunities and threats) and with the participation of 20 elites and experts in this area. Data collection was done through document review, holding focused group discussion sessions, and standard questionnaires of strategic planning. The collected data were analyzed using content analysis and descriptive statistics in the form of SWOT model. Based on the obtained scores, 13 strategies have been formulated in Etka organization for effective resistance economy in agricultural sector. Also, the strategy of "creating competitive advantage for Etka organization regarding reliance on economic self-sufficiency in order to succeed in the agricultural sector in passing the sanctions crisis through creating and enhancing scientific and practical belief in I. R. of Iran ministry of defense officials and managers" was given the first primacy.

Strategy of an organization affects the underlying structures, policies, programs, and core activities of the organization. Strategy is a transformational approach, but one of the reasons for lack of its usage in organizations is that managers avoid its high risk. If the operational factors regarding this risk are better understood and measures are taken to control and curb it, there will undoubtedly be more effective space to take advantage of the benefits of this approach. While I. R. of Iran's Armed Forces Physical Education Organization has been able to perform its liabilities well by employing the strategic planning process, the question is: Is it necessary for those programs to be revised and modified regarding their content and structure? In this regard, the aim of the present study was to identify the main strategies for the development of the Armed Forces by utilizing meta-analysis and combining the findings of all available sources. The present study was a meta-analysis. The statistical population of the study consists of all plans, programs and strategic documents of Iranian Armed Forces sport organizations that were selected for the research sample and meta-analysis. The findings of this study showed that the major goals and related strategies regarding sport in the Armed Forces can be grouped into five groups: Public, championship, cultural, knowledge development and resource development, and in the horizon of 1404, directs the Iranian Armed Forces Physical Education Organization on the right track by emphasizing the strengthening of the military family's shares in championship sport.

As the Islamic Revolution was consolidated, the goals of the political system at the national, regional and global levels developed in order to achieve the ambitions of the revolution. Achieving the defined goals, however, was not possible by itself and is not possible, but depends on the extent of the authority of the political system. Authority is the direct product of national power, in other words, the multiple dimensions of national power are the source of national authority. Meanwhile, the political dimension of national power as an intelligent system plays a decisive role in strengthening national authority. In this regard, the main purpose of this study is to formulate political strategies to strengthen the national authority of the Islamic Republic of Iran by emphasizing the prioritization of the components of political power. This study employed a survey method and was done using questionnaires. The statistical population included professors of Shahid Chamran University of Ahwaz, among whom 150 individuals were selected using Sample Power software. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software and SWOT method. The results of the analysis show that the quantifiable components of the political dimension of national power, i. e. political legitimacy, political participation, social capital, national cohesion and unity, political trust, political mobilization and soft power are influential upon enhancing national authority of I. R. of Iran. According to SWOT results, the status of the I. R. of Iran's national authority in terms of internal and external environment among the four identified strategies is considered as aggressive strategies.
