- چکیده انگلیسی: Background
Change theories provide an opportunity for organizational managers to plan, monitor and evaluate changes using a framework which enable them, among others, to show a fast response to environmental fluctuations and to predict the changing patterns of individuals and technology. The current study aimed to explore whether the change in the public accounting system of the Iranian health sector has followed Kurt Lewin’s change theory or not.
Methods
This study which adopted a mixed methodology approach, qualitative and quantitative methods, was conducted in 2012. In the first phase of the study, 41 participants using purposive sampling and in the second phase, 32 affiliated units of Kerman University of Medical Sciences (KUMS) were selected as the study sample. Also, in phase one, we used face-to-face in-depth interviews (6 participants) and the quote method (35 participants) for data collection. We used a thematic framework analysis for analyzing data. In phase two, a questionnaire with a ten-point Likert scale was designed and then, data were analyzed using descriptive indicators, principal component and factorial analyses.
Results
The results of phase one yielded a model consisting of four categories of superstructure, apparent infrastructure, hidden infrastructure and common factors. By linking all factors, totally, 12 components based on the quantitative results showed that the state of all components were not satisfactory at KUMS (5.06±2.16). Leadership and management; and technology components played the lowest and the greatest roles in implementing the accrual accounting system respectively.
Conclusion
The results showed that the unfreezing stage did not occur well and the components were immature, mainly because the emphasis was placed on superstructure components rather than the components of hidden infrastructure. The study suggests that a road map should be developed in the financial system based on Kurt Lewin’s change theory and the model presented in this paper underpins the change management in any organizations.- انتشار مقاله: 06-06-1392

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Drug abuse is one of the main problems of human's life; thus communities have been thinking
about the solution of this problem. The present study aimed to compare the general features of drug abuse
treatment policies, war on drugs (WOD), and harm reduction (HR), in the selected countries.
Methods: The present study was a comparative and desk research that sought to compare context,
stewardship, financing, type of substance abuse treatment services, reasons of paradigm shift, and executive
challenges of treatment policies in the selected countries (China, Malaysia, Germany, Netherland, and Iran).
The necessary data for comparison of the countries were collected through valid databases, review of
documents, and reports of international organizations.
Findings: Context conditions were better in the HR countries. In most countries, the central government
played a key role in the stewardship, financing, and service providing. In WOD countries, the presence of
judicial structure was higher in the treatment of drug abuse. The policy-making approach was ideological in
WOD countries, but evidence-based in HR countries.
Conclusion: It seems that performance of HR countries is better than WOD countries.
