Today, thinkers and policymakers envision new roles for human resource management, one of the most important one is "competency-basing" in all functions of human resource management from planning and selection as input processes to the development and maintenance and output processes of human resources. The purpose of this article is to review the “, Competency-Based Human Resource Management”,book by David Dubios et al. The book is reviewed and criticized based on two methods of formalist critique that focuses on form-elements such as structure and writing-and research critique that gives originality to the content, and also based on the criteria of the Iranian Council for Reviewing Books and Text on Human Sciences. Findings showed that the main strengths of the book are having a theoretical and practical perspective, paying attention to the organizational context in the application of competencies and confronting and comparing traditional with competency-based human resource processes. This work also has points for improvement, the most important of which are the lack of up-to-date references despite the reprint of the book, issues unrelated to or less related to the main concept of the book, and the need to explain new methods of human resource management processes in the competency-based approach. In the end, based on the findings, suggestions were made in two headings of form and content.

Human resource slack is one of the terms that has recently entered the human resources management literature. Human resources slack refer to more resources than the organization needs. This study aims to identify the types of stagnant human resources and provide a model of human resource management functions appropriate for each type of stagnant employees. The present research is qualitative and fundamental in terms of systematic method and content analysis. For this purpose, systematic search was limited to two databases, including Scopus (Elsevier) and the Scientific Network Information Science Institute (Thomson Reuters), to identify and extract articles. After reviewing the articles, the model was presented. The CASP standard checklist was used to assess the validity of the research and in order to assess the reliability of the research, the Kappa Cohen index in SPSS software was used, which was approved. After presenting the model, using semi-structured interviews with academic and industrial experts and conducting content analysis of human resource management functions such as training, development, rewarding and Service compensation, and performance control and evaluation, for each type of employee slack. The model presented, citing articles, introduces four types of human resources slack by considering two dimensions of strategic value and competence,Surplus-oriented, Accumulated-oriented, Knowledge-oriented and Value-oriented. The proposed model and the proposed functions for each type of employee slack can be the basis for future researchers' research.

Identifying, mitigating, and confronting human resources risks is essential for organizational excellence. This study aims to identify, analyze, and provide strategies to deal with risks in one of the government organizations in Isfahan province. The present study is mixed, where the resilience strategies are presented using FMEA and FAAO methods, and the number of resilience is calculated quantitatively. The statistical population of this study is human resource experts. Due to the limitations of the statistical society, all employees were selected as samples. All risks were obtained through the study of research literature and in-depth interviews with experts. The interviews were coded using thematic analysis. In the first phase of this study, thirty four risks were identified, and among them, ten most significant risks were selected, and strategies for dealing with them were presented. In order to retrieve, three risks were selected: long-term illness, staff dissatisfaction, and exit of experience and skill without experience transfer. A total of nine strategies were presented to return to the pre-risk state or more desirable. The resiliency ratio of the organization’, s human resources department was 0. 66 before the occurrence of risk and 0. 84 after the occurrence of the risk.

The present study seeks to identify and prioritize the factors influencing human resource development through happiness management in the Printing and Publishing Company of the National Bank of Iran, with an emphasis on controlling and preventive factors. In terms of methodology, the research employed a mixed exploratory approach. In the first phase, a meta-synthesis method was utilized, considered as a qualitative method. In the second phase, a survey method was applied to examine and validate the identified factors and construct the final model. This involved a survey of experts in the form of forming focus groups and questionnaires. The study corpus comprised documented studies related to employee misconduct in organizations, and the second statistical population was the company's experts in the field of human resource management. Through Application of seven stages of meta-synthesis, a six-layer conceptual model was developed, and each layer included concepts and topics, encompassing 29 components. As a result, the main dimensions affecting the control and prevention of employee misconduct and organizational happiness were determined: strategic and political factors, human resource development, individual development, management, participation, and environment. The proposed conceptual provides a foundation for future research on guidance, management, and employee behavior in order to offer executive strategies and policies for officials and policymakers of organizations and institutions involved in controlling and preventing employee misconduct.

We are... So, to reframe the inquiry: who are we on a metaphysical level? Which aspects of ourselves are the most universally representative of who we are? How do we fare in the face of the passage of time? For decades, philosophers have debated the concept of diachronic personal identity, which focuses on the question of what keeps us alive. An intricate debate has developed between those who hold the body view (animalism) and those who hold the psychological view (memory) on the question of who we are. The two groups will eventually become so firmly set in their views that they will be unable to compromise. Hylomorphic animalism, or the view that humans are rational animals, living bodies made of prime matter and a rational soul, is an alternative answer to this divisive question that I propose in this study, following in the footsteps of Aristotle and Aquinas. We only survive if matter and rational souls do.
