Abstract Abstract

The General Inspection Organization of the country is one of the review institutions stipulated in the constitution of Islamic Republic of Iran, which can remove corruption and lack of agility from the laps of institutions and administrative organizations with its authority. This organization is a monitoring institution that is included in the structure of the judiciary, and for this reason, Iranian legal researchers differed in the type of review. Some have considered its review as investigative, some as non-judicial but with judicial powers, and some have considered its placement in the judiciary as one of the causes of its inefficiency. This article, with a descriptive-analytical method, has concluded that judicial review in the common sense of the word, which is applied by the judges of the courts and the Administrative Court of Justice, is not compatible with the current structure of the General Inspection Organization of the country, and that judicial review cannot be imposed on it. But it seems that the Constitution of the Islamic Republic, considering the background and the existence of institutions such as "Diwan Begi" in the Safavid era, which was the highest judicial institution in the country and had review powers and duties over government bodies and officials, did not consider the judiciary to sit in the court and listen to the people's claims, and in fact, considered the position of the judiciary and the judiciary as an institution that detects corruption and is active in the field of society and government.

Abstract In legal systems influenced by the Romano-Germanic tradition, public will and the distinction between public and private interest shape a specific meaning of "administration" (Edareh). Understanding the current meaning of "administration" within Iran's legal framework requires grasping this historical context. The traditional understanding of "administration," emphasizing organizational and functional elements, has proven inadequate in the face of expanding administrative roles and the emergence of non-governmental organizations providing public services. This includes private companies operating under political oversight to deliver public services and benefits. The rigidity of the traditional concept of "administration" hinders oversight of these entities, leading to administrative corruption. Therefore, considering the evolution of the concept of "administration" to encompass such entities, like the Shaparak electronic payment network, necessitates a reevaluation of "administration" and, consequently, administrative corruption. This article, using a descriptive-analytical approach, addresses the central question: "What is the relationship between administrative corruption and nongovernmental organizations providing public services?" To answer this, the organizational and functional elements of "administration" and the three components of administrative corruption are analyzed in relation to Shaparak as a case study. The findings are: firstly, administrative corruption can be defined as a violation of the public will for private gain, aiming to increase civil inequality; and secondly, nongovernmental organizations providing public services, such as Shaparak, can be defined within the scope of 'administration' and can commit administrative corruption.

Abstract This study investigates the relationship between conflict of interest management and administrative integrity, with the mediating role of oversight institutions, in the Tehran Province Judiciary. The research population included all 1,897 judges in Tehran Province, with a sample size of 320 participants selected randomly based on Morgan’s table. Data were collected using three standard questionnaires: Administrative Integrity (Hoy et al., 1987), Conflict of Interest Management (Putnam & Wilson, 2015), and Oversight Institution (Anthony et al., 1989).
Using structural equation modeling (SEM) with partial least squares (PLS), the findings revealed that conflict of interest management significantly and positively impacts administrative integrity (R² = 0.443). Additionally, oversight institutions positively influenced both administrative integrity (R² = 0.761, path coefficient = 0.761) and conflict of interest management (R² = 0.556, path coefficient = 0.556). The study also identified the mediating role of oversight institutions in the relationship between conflict of interest management and administrative integrity (VAF = 0.423).
In conclusion, effective oversight institutions play a crucial role in monitoring judicial performance, improving conflict of interest management, and enhancing administrative integrity. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening conflict of interest management and oversight mechanisms to promote integrity within the judiciary.

Abstract Background and Objective: The presence and participation of civil society in criminal policy is of interest due to the need to observe the general interest of society and to increase the participation of civil society in important social areas. Accordingly, participatory criminal policy in the field of economics requires requirements, the recognition of which will lead to solving economic issues and problems. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to identify and analyze the practical requirements for realizing Iran's participatory criminal policy in the field of economics.
Method: In this research, a mixed method (quasi-quantitative) or sequential exploration strategy was used. In the qualitative part, a grounded theory approach was used, and in the quantitative part, structural equation modeling was used to test the model. The statistical population is elites and professors in the field of criminal policy, and in the qualitative part, 15 samples were selected using a purposeful method, and in the quantitative part, 80 elites,
Findings and Results: The research findings have shown that in the qualitative part, the requirements for realizing Iran's participatory criminal policy in the field of economy have been defined and specified in three core categories (empowerment of civil society, strong government response, and control and prevention), 8 central categories, and 21 open codes. In the quantitative part, control and prevention with a coefficient of 0.58, empowerment of civil society with a coefficient of 0.34, and strong government response with a coefficient of 0.30 have had a direct and significant effect on Iran's participatory criminal policy in the field of economy. As a result, it can be said that the presence of three important components in Iran's criminal policy: empowerment of civil society, strong government response, and control and prevention can lead to the development of policies in this field.

Abstract Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the dimensions of administrative integrity in the modern banking industry from the perspective of corporate governance, organizational professional ethics, and a human resource development approach.
Methodology: This study aligns with the ontological, epistemological, and methodological positions of positivism. The research is applied in nature and uses a quantitative approach based on survey methodology. The statistical population consists of the organizational branches of Sepah Bank in West Azerbaijan province. To achieve the research objectives, a sample of 250 employees was selected from Sepah Bank branches in the province using simple random sampling. Data were collected using the five-factor corporate governance questionnaire by Baghayi (2015), the three-factor organizational health questionnaire by Hoy and Feldman (1996), and the seven-factor professional ethics questionnaire by Caduzier (2009). The data were analyzed using SmartPLS software and statistical tests including confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling.
Findings: The findings showed that the direct relationship between corporate governance of banks and improvement of administrative integrity is less significant. However, corporate governance of banks has a significant relationship with the improvement of administrative integrity through the mediation of organizational professional ethics.
Conclusion: Corporate governance of banks, along with the enhancement of organizational professional ethics, can contribute to the improvement of administrative integrity and better performance of the bank.
