The Difference

<p>Nature has always been an important element of myths and religions and had a different standing within ideologies. Because various factors have been involved in creation of myths, this research aims to clarify the role of nature in creation of Iranian myths. Generally, the structure of Iranian myth is a kind of belief in duality of nature, in human and in the conflict forces existing in the world which best are expressed in the continued conflict between good and evil forces. Iran is a country with varied natural geography and can be called the land of great conflicts, so this paper aims to investigate the role of nature in the creation of Iranian myths and determine the effective natural and mythological forces. Data gathered by the documentary method and the research was performed by a descriptive, adaptive and analysis method. According to the results, this research concludes that natural elements play a significant role in the Iranian myth.</p><p>llected through library-field.

After gathering the required data through knowledge management questionnaire, knowledge management processes were measured based on the five dimensions such as the capture of knowledge, acquisition of knowledge, transmission of knowledge, creation of knowledge and application of knowledge. In order to provide for the reliability of the questionaire cronbachs alpha was used. In order to check the significance of the difference between responses descriptive and inferential statistics such as regression, one way anova and t test were run using SPSS version 20. The result show that the staff means score of knowledge management was 76/66±20/48. The result shows that there was a significant relationship between social capital and knowledge management. Also there was a significant relationship between social capital and the five components of knowledge management such as capture of knowledge, acquisition of knowledge, transmission of knowledge, creation of knowledge and application of knowledge.

Collaborative Knowledge

Knowledge creation is particularly important for organizations in order to innovate and securetheir existence over time (e.g., Mount &amp; Garcia Martinez, 2014; Nonaka &amp; von Krogh, 2009;Von Krogh, 2012). Recently, organizations typically strive to create new knowledge by settingup social media platforms (Razmerita, Kirchner, &amp; Nabeth, 2014). Hence, there is growingscholarly interest in the role of social media, i.e. digital technologies of the Web 2.0 generation(Leonardi &amp; Vaast, 2017) in collaborative knowledge endeavors (Hemsley &amp; Mason, 2013;Kallinikos &amp; Tempini, 2014; Leonardi &amp; Vaast, 2016; Neeley &amp; Leonardi, 2018; Voigt &amp;Ernst, 2010; Wagner, Vollmar, &amp; Wagner, 2014).Yet, the majority of social media studies focuses on knowledge sharing (e.g., Majchrzak, Faraj,Kane, &amp; Azad, 2013; for recent overviews, see Leonardi &amp; Vaast, 2016; Panahi, Watson, &amp;Partridge, 2013). In particular, scholars highlight that social media facilitate knowledge sharingbehavior in organizations in a unique manner due to their unique affordances, i.e., the“perceptions of an objects’ utility” (Treem &amp; Leonardi, 2012, p. 145), which cover visibility,editability, persistence, and association for the ‘object’ social media (Leonardi &amp; Vaast, 2015;Treem &amp; Leonardi, 2012). These scholars further speculate that the affordances of social mediamight also contribute to knowledge creation (Leonardi &amp; Vaast, 2017).

The paper deals with economics of social capital which is defined as the capacity of society for collective action in pursuit of common good. Particular attention is paid to the interaction between social capital and formal institutions, and the impact of social capital on government efficiency. Structure of social capital and the dichotomy between its bonding and bridging forms are analyzed. Social capital measurement, its economic payoff, and transmission channels between social capital and economic outcomes are discussed.
