Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ethics-oriented leadership and political skills of digital organizational developments on accounting students' perceptions. Method: The study population in this study was accounting students in Shiraz. The statistical population of this study includes all accounting students in Shiraz, whose number is 850 people. The number of samples was 265 based on the Morgan table. 400 questionnaires were distributed electronically and randomly and 265 questionnaires were selected. After data collection, structural equations were analyzed using SPSS and SMART PLS software. Findings: Based on the results, ethical leadership has a positive and significant relationship with accounting students' perception of leadership effectiveness. Political skills have a negative and significant relationship with accounting students' perception of leadership effectiveness. Machiavellianism mediates the role of leadership in the relationship between ethical leadership and accounting students' perceptions of leadership effectiveness. Machiavellianism has an increasing mediating role in political skills and accounting students' perceptions of leadership effectiveness. Conclusion: This article is practical. Therefore, its main contribution is to clarify the discussion about the impact of digital transformation in the accounting sector and the importance of accounting ethics in the digital age.

Purpose
Accurate scientific evaluation of researchers by ResearchGate network is still ambiguous. This systematic study seeks to shed some light on this issue.
Methods
The study was conducted with a systematic review of the previous studies (articles or reports). The analysis of documents was performed with a targeted keyword search in the reputable Google Scholar, Emerald, and PubMed databases (without limit). Titles and abstracts (if necessary, full texts) of the number of 582 documents (Persian, English, and Spanish) were retrieved (1-10 April 2021) and studied. Then, by removing duplicate or irrelevant data, 57 independent studies were selected for replying to the main research problem of this systematic review (using the PRISMA statement). For drawing diagrams, Excel software was used.
Findings
Among 57 previous independent studies that retrieved by systematic review, 30 of them, had a negative attitude towards the ResearchGate. The numbers of 27 studies have seen with positive approach from standpoint the concepts of "authentic measuring instrument", " presence of prominent scientists such as Nobel Prize recipients", "valid scientific content", and "having a significant relationship with the academic ranking criteria", and "compliance with the Hirsch indicator", that identified by documentary analysis based on PRISMA statement. Studies with a positive assessment to the ResearchGate, dealing with developing countries, and with a small investigated research community. Therefore, it is appropriate to act cautiously when evaluating researchers with the ResearchGate network.
Originality
No similar systematic review to evaluate the ResearchGate network from the standpoint of a scientific suitable evaluation tool, so far.

Nowadays, many studies carried out by management science researchers have been oriented towards working groups in order to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the organization's activities, in such a way that the topic of teamwork has always been assigned a special place in the literature of leading organizations. On the other hand, the issue that seems to have been less examined by the researchers, is understanding the phenomenon of evading teamwork. Therefore, this study has been conducted with the aim of understanding the phenomenon of evading teamwork with a phenomenological approach in the General Department of Cooperation, Labor and Social Welfare of Fars Province. The research method of the present study was conducted with qualitative analysis of hermeneutic phenomenology. In order to collect the data, an interview protocol was prepared. The statistical population included 11 elligible experts who were selected using the purposeful and non-probability sampling method, and in-depth and semi-structured interviews were given to them. Qualitative analysis of phenomenology has been used to identify the main and sub-categories of the research. MAXQDA software was used for qualitative analysis. The findings showed that 39 sub-categories were identified by examining and categorizing the descriptive codes obtained from the interview texts, according to the seven-step process of Claysey and according to their semantic similarity and affinity, it has been categorized into 7 main concepts including: inadequacy of the educational system, negative personality traits, weak communication and interactions, inappropriate organizational structure,

Technology plays an essential role in any country to achieve sustainable development. Choosing appropriate and advanced technology is one of the strategic decisions of industrial managers. This research discusses the critical factors that should be considered in the process of choosing new technologies based on the competitive mechanism, and according to that, designs and explains the technology selection model for equipping downstream petrochemical industrial units to create a competitive advantage. The research method is of applied type and in terms of data type, it is part of qualitative and quantitative research. In the quantitative phase, research data has been collected based on the data obtained from the qualitative phase, and using the questionnaire tool. The research data have been analyzed using thematic analysis and MaxQda software in the qualitative phase and they also have been analyzed using the TOPSIS technique and meta-heuristic algorithm in the quantitative phase for modeling. Thirty-four concepts and five categories were identified as technology selection criteria for equipping downstream petrochemical industrial units to create a competitive advantage. The "technical criteria" factor was identified as the foremost priority in equipping downstream petrochemical industrial units to create a competitive advantage. The ranking of the determined categories from one to five were the factors of competitive criteria, strategic criteria, internal criteria, and external criteria, respectively. Finally, using the TOPSIS fuzzy technique, the model of equipping industrial units was presented to help decision-makers and policy makers of downstream petrochemical industries.

The main purpose of this study is to design and evaluate a book recommender system in digital and public libraries. The solution provided by receiving and reviewing the preferences and experiences of users and profile information and studying the background of each user, as well as considering groups of features recorded in the recommendation process. This research is applied in terms of purpose and survey method. The statistical population studied in this study consists of 263 questionnaires of users and 30 questionnaires of librarian experts. In order to find similarity between users and books, clustering and grouping have been used. There are two criteria for grouping: users grouping that can be used on the three indicators of age, gender, educational level, and thematic classification of books can be based on scope, branch, and sub-category. In analyzing the data in the descriptive statistics section, Excel software is used and in the analytical section, SPSS software is used. Findings indicate that the accuracy criterion has been improved by calculating MAE and RSME in the proposed method compared to the basic method in this field. The results also showed that classification can have a significant impact on the forecast and performance of book forecasting systems. The evaluation of the conceptual design showed that by focusing on user characteristics and obtaining real in Iranian libraries, the recommender can serve as a key and effective element in the service of the Iranian readership community and play a good role as a virtual reference librarian.

Dynamic features of the market, increased competition, and globalization are primary requirements of active participation in new markets. These days, only companies which benefit from digital agility and function fast, as well as flexibly, can grow and expand their market. The present study aimed to design and illustrate a model of agile digital marketing capabilities in the insurance industry in Iran. This study is qualitative and exploratory in design. Its participants include senior managers of insurance companies, as well as decision-makers, in the Iranian insurance industry. Data were collected through interviewing experts, which continued until theoretical saturation was reached. Finally, after conducting 42 expert interviews, theoretical saturation was achieved. Based on the interview data and following the grounded theory approach, 246 open codes and 41 themes were identified regarding the agile digital marketing capabilities in the insurance industry. The findings of the present study provided a relatively comprehensive model based on the requirements and characteristics of the insurance industry. The proposed model appears to be more comprehensible, in comparison with previously proposed models in terms of the identified themes, dimensions, and indicators.
