Abstract Demanding for organizations that act responsibly and move towards social responsibility has intensified with the organizations' increasing impact on the components of sustainable development. In this regard, organizations contribute to their credibility by being aware of the factors involved in corporate social responsibility (CSR) and manifesting it in their decisions. In this article, we investigated variables affecting policies and actions related to corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the context of project-based organizations in the country. For this purpose, first, an initial theoretical framework has been developed by reviewing scholarly journal articles and interviewing experts. Then, the theoretical framework has been validated and finalized by sending questionnaires to several experts and the Delphi method. As a result, we identified 11 factors at three institutional, organizational, and individual levels. Five factors at the institutional level include the country's growth and development rate, government-society relationships, the action of formal governmental institutions, the action of formal non-governmental institutions, and the action of informal institutions; four factors at the organizational level include the organization's governance system, organization profile, Organizational planning, and cultural orientation of the organization; and two factors at the individual level include the characteristics of the governing body and the characteristics of human resources.

Abstract Examining the performance of the important economic institutions of the country can help us to understand the current situation and also to find suitable ways to repair the gaps in the future. One of the relatively new concepts in political science to study the performance of institutions is the concept of government capacity. In the present article, using this concept and documentary method and historical analysis of data and information, the performance of this organization is emphasized by emphasizing the five development plans; this performance is evaluated based on two main and important indicators of the concept of government capacity, namely the degree of bureaucracy independence from the government and institutional efficiency. The results show that the PBO has been the most efficient and effective in terms of the two main components of government capacity during the reform period; the reason for this stems from the government's more realistic view of the country's economy and development (based on the country's requirements and conditions) and efforts to reduce entrepreneurship in this area. These results also indicate that according to the analysis of the efficiency of this organization over nearly four decades, creating fundamental structural changes in the organization is a priority and the officials of this institution should pay more attention to improving the two basic components of independence and institutional efficiency.

The method of the present study is qualitative, content analysis and the necessary information has been collected using the technique of observation and in-depth semi-structured interviews. The sample size is 26 immigrant youth who are currently in prison. Immigration with the motive of work and labor and committing criminal behavior are the two dominant forms of immigration motivation by immigrant youth, and crimes related to drugs and theft are the most common crimes among immigrant youth. After careful analysis of the information, six main themes and twenty-one sub-themes were extracted. Finding shows that most of the young immigrants have migrated to Tehran not with the motive of committing a crime, but with the motive of work and labor. However, after a while and encountering multiple negative and damaging situations and incitement to crime, they engage in criminal behaviors. In a nutshell, the migration of young immigrants to Tehran has not only improved the situation of many of them, but has also led to their involvement in common crimes.
