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.

Today, the issue of economic corruption in the world has become one of the most important concerns of social groups and institutions, as well as governments. The spread of this phenomenon in most countries has found a structural and institutional aspect. Corruption has grown significantly in Iran over the past two decades. In the present article, the author uses the documentary method and analytical model based on the influence of different social levels (political, economic and cultural) on each other, to examine the roots and structural processes of the prevalence of such widespread corruption in government. According to this analytical model, in the post-revolutionary period, with the dominance of the political culture of the ruling forces, the participation of citizens and social groups led to political obstruction, which led to the creation of monopolies in the economic sector; this monopoly eventually became the source of corruption. The results show that the interaction status of the mentioned levels is not positive and this has negative effects on the economic field. In the economic sector, four erroneous policy models can be examined and traced: the widespread governmentalization of the economy, the prevalence of commercial capitalism and unbridled consumerism, the adoption of redistributive policies, and the multi-currency nature.
