        Today, the success of many companies in a turbulent environment is an improvement in the access and processing of information to develop the capabilities of innovation. In the meantime, knowledge sharing activities and culture have a special and important role that can have an impact on innovation. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of collaborative culture and knowledge sharing on the information systems and innovation ambidexterity in small and medium enterprises. The philosophy of the research is positivism, the approach is deductive, and the strategy is surveying. Therefore, after reviewing the literature and designing the conceptual model, a questionnaire consisted of 29 questions presented to a sample of 322 SMEs staff and managers. Then, the data were gathered and analyzed by AMOS software through correlation matrix, structural equation model and fitness test. The results indicate the knowledge sharing and the collaborative culture impact on the information systems ambidexterity and innovation ambidexterity. On the other hand, it became clear that the collaborative culture also affects knowledge sharing behavior.

        Knowledge sharing reduces costs, improves performance, improves customer service, reduces new product development time, reduces customer delivery time, and ultimately reduces costs associated with finding and accessing valuable types of knowledge within the organization. May be. For this reason, the role of knowledge sharing is somewhat tied to the concept of knowledge management. The purpose of this article is to investigate the factors affecting knowledge sharing and prioritize them with the aim of helping to identify the role of these factors in the process of successful implementation and implementation of knowledge management in Saipa Industrial Group. In the first step, based on studies and literature on knowledge management, a researcher-made questionnaire of 5 Likert spectrum was created, which was distributed and collected in person in the form of closed interviews between two groups of external and internal experts. These factors were identified and categorized in four dimensions: 1) individual factors 2) organizational factors 3) cultural factors and 4) technology factors. In the next step, in the form of a pair of questionnaires and with the help of Expert Choice software, these factors were prioritized and weighed. According to the results of the second questionnaire, the following factors: 1) cultural factors (weighing 0.460), 2) individual factors (weighing 0.258), 3) organizational factors (weighing 0.161) and 4) technological factors (weighing 0.122) Sequences have the greatest impact on knowledge sharing. Therefore, it is suggested that managers and policy makers of Saipa Industrial Group strongly support the cultural factors in the units of the organization with the help of human resources in order to make the most of the results of knowledge sharing.

        The aim of this study is to investigate and identify the barriers to knowledge sharing at a high education institute as one of the necessary steps in implementation of the process of knowledge management at universities and HEIs. On the one hand, higher education is the base of development and the main focus of human recourses enrichment in societies, Therefore implementation of knowledge management in this field is one of the basic requirements and a powerful tool for improving knowledge-based societyS as one of the elements of country’s development vision. On the other hand, by changing the slogan “knowledge is power” to “knowledge sharing is power”, knowledge sharing and extending it in organizations, between organizations and different systems has become the main process and orientation inside organizations concerning knowledge management. Therefore creating a comprehensive vision concerning the challenges and barriers of knowledge sharing and a proper understanding of its facilitators in HEIs and universities seems necessary as a pre-requisite in reaching the goals of knowledge management in the field of higher education in the country. In this regard, 29 key factors in knowledge sharing process inside organizations in 5 main categories of human resources, organizational culture, structure, systems and technology and leadership strategies have been determined and as a case study, relationships between main factors and priority of each of the mentioned factors in 5 categories have been presented at Imam Javad University College.

        K nowledge sharing is a key ability to achieve sustainable competitive advantage in today’s turbulent environments. Effective knowledge sharing among employees may considerably influence organizational performance of organizations. Therefore, this study intends to examine impacts of quality of work life on forming knowledge-sharing behavior in a research center in Iran. This is a descriptive research and an applied research from objective perspective and a survey due to data gathering method. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyze research hypotheses. A questionnaire was developed for measuring quality of work life, knowledge-sharing attitude, intention, and behavior based on prior research and distributed in target population. An analysis of 317 completed and valid questionnaires showed that quality of work life has a positive significant effect on knowledge-sharing attitude and behavior in studied organization. In addition, attitude toward knowledge sharing can enhance the tension toward knowledge sharing which in turn can improve real knowledge-sharing behaviors. Moreover, research findings indicated that among quality of work life dimensions, constitutionalism in work is the most influential factor of knowledge sharing. Finally, according to research findings, practical implications for managers and knowledge management practitioners as well as suggestions for future research to fill the research gap are proposed.

        Cloud computing is a concept introducing in the world of information technology recently, and provides an environment for sharing sources. In this environment, an efficient and effective scheduling system plays a fundamental role. Hence, the problem of scheduling tasks in cloud computing is a very important issue, which tries to identify an optimal scheduling for performing tasks and allocating an optimal source. The purpose of this research is to provide a new hybrid model for optimization of scheduling tasks based on combination of dynamic adaptive and genetic algorithms in a cloud computing environment. The hybrid model aimed to cover the defects of these algorithms. Based on this model, an initial solution was presented for resolving the weakness of the genetic algorithm, the action of low speed as well as the weakness of the dynamic adaptive algorithm, trapping in local answers. In the proposed model, first, dynamic adaptive algorithm could find an appropriate solution for scheduling problem within a good time using the technique of searching required resources by KD tree and data retrieval in parallel. This solution, as an initial answer, was given to the genetic algorithm, and this algorithm performed the optimal research. As a consequence, the final algorithm, a combination of these two algorithms, provides a better load balancing for cloud resources in a relatively acceptable time. Manuscript profile

In this study, that is based on the descriptive survey method, a statistical population of Bank headquarters staff, 191 people which is calculated 128 samples, has been used. Sampling has been done according to a simple random method, and for collecting data, a five-option likert questionnaire has been used. The Validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by visiting masters and experts. Cronbach's alpha reliability of 82.4% was calculated by the formula. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to detect normal or abnormal data, which resulted in abnormal data. Spearman correlation test for abnormal data was used to test the research hypotheses. The results show that in the opinion of the Post Bank staff and managers, motivation affect the staff knowledge sharing. Indeed the relationship between motivational factors in motivating staff in Bank is not equal, and the greatest role is related to financial and non-financial rewards and the lowest one is related to organizational structure.
