This study was conducted in a quarterly period among Kashani citizens aged 18 years and older, the sample population includes 206 people. Data collection tool is a researcher-made questionnaire. The results show that despite the difference in the use of national news network and local virtual networks, this difference is not statistically significant (p> 0.05). Therefore, the audience uses almost both types of media to obtain information and news. Also, there is a statistically significant difference between the level of trust in the national news network and local virtual networks (p <0.05). In this way, the audience has more confidence in local virtual media to obtain news information. In the study of demographic factors, the results show that the use of native virtual networks is statistically significantly different between male and female audiences (p <0.05). Thus, the female audience uses more native virtual networks than the male audience. Also, there is a statistically significant difference between the level of use and trust in the national news network and local virtual networks and audiences with different education (p <0.05). The results of Tukey's follow-up test show that audiences with postgraduate and higher education are more confident than native virtual networks, despite using the national news network more.

Comparative Study of Factors Affecting the Sense of Security among People in Hamedan and Yasouj Seyede Masumeh Hoseini Akhgar[1] , Esmaeel Balali[2] Maryam Mokhtari[3] Receive: 19/11/2017 Accept: 8/12/2018 Abstract The factors affecting security in modern times have changed. This research investigates the factors affecting social security in Yasouj and Hamadan. Results show that social trust and religiosity are the most influential factors. The hypothesis is analyzed using a multivariate regression model and among the sample of 750 individuals aged 18 years and over, the following results are included: In the study of security dimensions, feeling political security and feeling of security in the city in Hamadan, is more than that of Yasouj. But feeling the economic security and sense of physical security in the city in Yasouj is more than that of Hamadan. The relationship between religiosity and political security, security in the city and economic security in both cities was confirmed, the relationship of generalized trust with political and economic security was confirmed in both cities too, and shows a stronger relationship in Hamadan. Trusting official authorities in Yasouj with all four dimensions of social security feeling has made a meaningful relationship. The relationship of trust with unofficial authorities with all aspects of security in Yasouj is meaningful but in Hamadan, the relationship between politics and security in the city is very weak. The relationship between trus in friends and feeling of security in the city is significant in Yasouj, but in Hamadan, this kind of trust is significant only in terms of the sense of security in the city and politics, and this relationship is weaker in Hamadan. The relationship between trust in friends and feeling of economic-political dimension and in the city security is significant in Yasouj, but in Hamadan this kind of trust is significant only in terms of the sense of security in the city and politics, and this relationship is weaker in Hamadan.

The aim of this study (2012) is to investigate the relationship between the sense of security and trust. This research is based on the theoretical approach of Giddens. Giddens believes that the new world has brought about non-reassuring and unsecured situation. So trust will provide the formation of security and if trust is not grown, it will be fears and feelings of security. Target population of this research included all Arak citizens. Technique of data collection is based on questionnaire. Sampling method is stratified random and sample size is 400. In this article, sense of security is measured in the four dimensions of financial, physical, intellectual and collective and the relationship of each of these dimensions are measured separately with trust variable. The results of this study indicate that there is a significant relationship between trust and sense of security. Since generalized trust has a stronger statistical correlation with sense of security in comparison with other dimensions, the proposed solutions for increase social trust are provided in order to increase the sense of security.

From the perspective of urban scholars and sociologists, trust is the spinal column of local communities and it enhances efficiency of urban neighborhoods and quality of life. Hence, the main aim of present study is exploring and analyzing the relationship between the efficiency of local community of Doulab neighborhood with the level of trust of its dwellers to local and state institutions.
The type of the study is applied. Survey method and questionnaires have been used in the collection of data. The Findings of study indicate that Doulab neighborhood is community-based; however, it cannot benefit from its advantages due to the lack of trust to the institutions active in planning. Moreover, the level of being community-based is decreasing due to the lack of trust in this neighborhood. Regarding the findings of the study, it is recommended that before any kind of action in Doulab neighborhood, the level of trust of dwellers to local and state institutions of city should be improved. Moreover, any action decreasing the level of trust to local and state institutions should be strongly avoided. This study argues that the urban planning in Iran should focus on community-based planning oriented towards trust building.

Abstract Theoretically, the present paper is made up of some competing or alternative theories of white-collar crimes, including Hirschi & Stark’s theory of the Hellfire, Collins and Schmidt’s theory of personality correlates of white-collar crimes, James William Coleman’s sociological theory of corruption, and finally Cornish and Clark’s economic theory of white-collar crimes. In order to test the hypotheses extracted from the above mentioned theories, a representative sample of 120 prisoners of economic crimes currently incarcerated in Evin prison were selected. Since the present study is of a causal-comparative or quasi-experimental nature, a group of 120 managers currently active in Iranian corporations and official departments also responded to the research questionnaires. The logistic regression analysis accounted for 75 percent of the variance between the two groups. According to our analysis, despite enjoying a high level of religiosity and religious background, the economic criminals under the study have committed crimes. Moreover using a cost-benefit analysis before or during the crime commission, they (compared with the non-criminal group) had underestimated the probability of being caught and also that of certainty and severity of the punishments. Finally, they had committed crime according to their individual’s perception of the levels of criminal opportunity available in their workplace, an opportunity not to be missed out. Key Concepts: economic crimes, religious socialization, opportunity for committing crime, probability of crime being caught. scientific orientation, altogether accounted for 40 percent of changes in the variable of young women’s economic consumption. The results of the study indicate that approximately 53% of women have a moderate to high tendency to modernity, and this percentage reflects the state of transition from tradition to modernity in Iran. Among the women with a tendency to modernity, whenever modernism rate was higher, i.e. when this variable existed as an array of valuable resources such as risk-taking, academic orientation, progressivism and universality (dimensions of modernity) in different aspects of social life of women, it meant that women will experience more different lifestyles.

This study aims to identify the relationship between social capital (trust, norms and social networks) and organizational entrepreneurship development. In this study the components of Nahapiet and Ghoshal’s social capital theory and Antonich & Hisrich’s theory about organizational entrepreneurship were used. The research method was descriptive correlation and a combination of documentary and field methods. In the field analysis, 372 employees working in Iran Khodro Industrial Group in 2014 participated by filling out a researcher made-questionnaire of social capital (Nehapiet & Ghoshal, 2002) and a researcher-made questionnaire for the seven dimensions of organizational entrepreneurship (Antonich & Hisrich, 2003). Participants were selected and studied using the quota sampling method. Data analysis was done at two levels of descriptive (mean) and expressive (Pearson correlation coefficient, Mean test and binary linear regression). The results showed a direct relationship between social capital and its five dimensions and the rate of organizational entrepreneurship. The results of linear regression test indicated a linear relationship between the two variables of social capital and the rate of organizational entrepreneurship while social capital had the potential of predicting 21 percent of changes in organizational entrepreneurship. Overall, the results showed that organizational entrepreneurship, as a syncretistic construct (technological, managerial and social), is subject to the quality and quantity of social capital and its dimensions.

Modern world is evaluated by the researchers and experts as the world of changing; meaning old experiences and methods are no more capable of answering organizations' problems and issues of the present and future, therefore, new organizational modern-structured strategies are required; organizational entrepreneurship strategyis one of them.This paper aims to study organizational entrepreneurship in the organizations in Iran, and to evaluate entrepreneurship grade of the managers graduated in humanistic within Arak's industrial organizations. Survey method was applied as the research methodology, and questionnaires as the tools for collecting information.In analyzing the data, Kendal statistical tests revealed a statistically significant relationship between education and organizational entrepreneurship, and Pearson statistical test showed a statistically significant relationship between innovation, organizational structure and social capital, and the dependent variable of organizational entrepreneurship. Regarding the fact that these correlations are nonlinear, apositive strong relationship between the three independent variablesmentioned,and organizational entrepreneurshipis found.Results revealed that most of managers in organizationsstudied are at alow level regarding organizational entrepreneurship; only 18.60% showed a strong tendency, 19.20% showed an average tendency, and 62.20% showed a weak tendency towards organizational entrepreneurship. This may be because of the mechanical structure ruling most of organizations studied, preventing innovation, creativity, risk taking, and therefore organizational entrepreneurship. Hence, in order to create and facilitate organizational entrepreneurship, a flexible structureis needed, alongside with organizational trust,and an increased social capital,in order to set organizational entrepreneurshipas a culture. Furthermore, managers of organizations should be committed to organizational entrepreneurship. and apply it as an appropriate strategy and support the organizational entrepreneurs, in order forthe survival and growth of their organization in today's competitive markets.
