Such universities provide a wide range of services and products including prevention (hygiene), treatment (medical care), rehabilitation and palliative care, as well as their important mission, i. e., higher education and research in related fields.

Materials and Methods: In this study, the researchers developed and examined a model for organizational innovation and entrepreneurship, including 16 factors classified into structure, content (behavior) and context (periphery) of the subject.
The data collection instrument was a pre-structured questionnaire containing 58 core questions on the Likert scale. The validity of the questionnaire was computed by elites, and its reliability was estimated using Cronbach's Alpha (94%). Of 389 questionnaires, 325 were collected and their data were analyzed by SPSS software, version 18.

Results: The three factors -- structural (structure), behavioral (content) and peripheral (context) -- which affect innovation and entrepreneurship are not favorable at medical universities.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Nowadays, the application of Information and Communication Technology is becoming increasingly prevalent in our daily lives, and especially in organizations. One of these phenomena is employees' use of the organization's Internet for personal purposes during work hours, which is referred to as cyberloafing. One of the important organizational variables that can strongly be influenced by this technology is the level of entrepreneurship in the organization. Therefore, this study seeks to investigate the relationship between cyberloafing and organizational entrepreneurship(OE) in Babolsar Healthcare and Treatment Network(HTN).
Materials and Methods: The present research is an applied study. The statistical population of the study includes all employees of Babolsar HTN. Using simple random sampling, 165 employees were selected as sample. In this study, standard questionnaires were used to measure cyberloafing and OE. Finally, the data were analyzed by using SPSS and LISREL softwares.
Results: The findings of this study showed that there was a significant and inverse relationship between OE and cyberloafing(P<0/001). There was also a significant inverse correlation between organizational entrepreneurship and cyberloafing in structural equation modeling test. On the other hand, the values of the fit indices were RMSEA=0.022, NFI=0.96, GFI=0.97 and χ2/df=1.07, that all indicate the suitability of the model.
Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that cyberloafing phenomenon in Babolsar HTN had an adverse effect on OE. Based on these results, it is suggested that HTN managers teach their employees how to use cyperloafing effectively.

Miss Shima Khosravi, Dr Malikeh Beheshti Far, Amin Nikpoor,
Volume 15, Issue 1 (3-2021)
Abstract
Background and Aim: The presence of a competent and capable human resource management is one of the preconditions for the success of the organization. Factors such as the emphasis on the need to establish knowledge-based companies, the activities of third-generation universities and technology, and the challenges of financing the health sector, the scientific and technological attractiveness of developed countries and the consequent withdrawal of active and specialized forces from the field of health, importance. Attention to the organization of human capital is more prominent and due to the fact that the modern development process of the organization is based on the paradigm of innovation, the interest in ways to guide the human resource management of the entrepreneur is increasing. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to predict the human resource management model based on a comprehensive organizational entrepreneurship system in the third generation of medical universities.
Materials and Methods: In the present study, with exploratory interviews, the proposed model for human resource management based on organizational 
entrepreneurship was predicted and analyzed using content analysis method. The research population consists of basic and middle managers in the field of health, from which 20 people were selected as a sample by non-probability judgment sampling and snowball sampling.
Results: The results showed that in the field of organizational entrepreneurship (at all organizational levels in the field of health, including queuing and headquarters) 4 main and effective categories on soft and hard skills of human resource management can be classified. The three categories, including structural, behavioral and environmental branches in all government agencies and even in the field of industry have relatively similar concepts, codes and essentially functions. However, regarding the fourth category, namely excellence in the field of health, especially in medical universities, health centers and affiliated hospitals, it is quite noticeable.
Concolusion: Organizational strategies and decisions at the macro level have an undisputed and effective role in laying the groundwork for organizational 
entrepreneurship and, ultimately, strengthening processes and feedback from human resource management at the level of health organizations.

Moslem Soleymanpor, Mohamad Taghi Amini, Yazdan Shirmohammadi, Ali Shahnazari,
Volume 15, Issue 5 (1-2022)
Abstract
Background and Aim: With the global expansion of Covid 19, the tourism industry has faced one of its biggest operational, commercial and financial crises, and most of the source-destination interactions have been suspended and have changed the view of the host community and their interactions with tourists. The purpose of this study is to provide a model for tourism development during the Covid 19 crisis and beyond.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted using a combined (qualitative-quantitative) research approach. First, in a qualitative method with the data   foundation approach, interviews with academic experts and managers and activists of the tourism industry in East and West Azerbaijan Provinces, and using purposeful and theoretical sampling, 18 people were selected to the point of information saturation. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were used to collect data. Data extracted from interviews were encoded by open, axial and selective coding. Then, to fit and test the obtained model in the second step (quantitative part), the method of structural equation modeling and confirmatory factor analysis were used.
Results: The final model consists of a total of 66 concepts extracted from the interviews, in the form of 14 categories and contextual categories, causal conditions, interventional conditions, strategies and finally, consequences and results of tourism entrepreneurship in pandemic crises and all of them affect this model. Based on the results of combined reliability, extracted variance, model determination coefficient and goodness-of-fit index, the drawn model in the field of path analysis has good experimental-theoretical assumptions and has a very good fit. Based on the obtained path coefficients, it can be concluded that the intervention conditions had the most and the causal conditions had the least impact on the strategic model of the tourism industry in pandemic crises.
Conclusion: Results indicate that strategies such as virtual tourism development, crisis management in the tourism industry, the development of domestic tourism by emphasizing the observance of health protocols and focusing on the development of tourism infrastructure, leads to the realization of consequences such as the maintenance and prosperity of tourism businesses, strengthening the tourism industry and creating a new tourism market for the post-corona era.
