The primary aim of the present study is to examine and compare work culture in Iran from different aspects. The main question in this investigation is to find factors which have caused a downward trend in work culture in Iran. Using global statistics (from WVS), the effect of factors such as the individual, family, population, religion, occupation and social capital on the work culture of the countries of Iran, Japan, China, Malaysia and Turkey have been studied. The sample population of each country included an urban and rural, male and female population which were chosen through probability sampling. The factors affecting the dependent variable has been tested through different methods, including, factor analysis of the dependent variable, examination of the effect of the sub-indices of independent variables using linear and logistic regression, measuring the relationship between the five independent variables (population, individual, religion, social capital and type of occupation) and work culture, and path analysis of the variables. From the variables influencing work culture, creativity has had the most effect in all countries. The findings show that compared to that of the other four countries, Iran’s work culture is severely low.

The questionnaire was the main data collection technique. The findings show that there is a significant and direct relationship between religiousness and social trust. In other words, the rising of religiousness leads to the increasing of organizational, interpersonal and generalized trusts. The empirical data truly verify the viewpoints mentioned earlier by Durkheim and Giddnez.

The idea of "social capital" for the first time entered in to the literature of sociology by social scientists as social wealth and social income. Social capital is an interdisciplinary concept among economics, sociology and political sciences which has a valued approach towards social interactions in the goals achievement which are not just social but political and economical in nature. Such capital is created by interactions between people in a social relation network. Social capital refers to the links and communication between members of a network in which the creation of norms and mutual trust brought about fulfillment of goals. It should be noted that without social capital, following the path of development and cultural and economical fulfillment will be difficult and uneven. Nowadays, organizational social capital is considered to be one of the most prominent issues of organization management which plays a more key role than human and physical capital. The networks of public and group relations include cohesion among people in an organization and also between people and the organization. In this paper it is intended to measure the social capital at the university as a complex network of social interactions. The research method is a field survey based on questionnaire. The results show that among students whom are studied, age of the student, tendency towards the religious practices and the year of entry to university are the most significant effective factors in the level of their social capital. Considering the academic staff of the university, only the tendency towards religious practices influenced their level of social capital.

Transplantation is transferring a cell tissue or a living organ from one person to another in a way that the function of the transferred organ remains the same. Nowadays Allograph transplantation products are some of the best and sometimes the only treatment of some diseases. These organs and tissues are taken from people whose brain death has been testified by physicians. Removing organs and tissues will be possible through the person's will and consent (legal will, organ donation card, informing the family while he is alive or the consent of legal heirs). In our country due to a large number of brain deaths, one may expect a lot of organdonation s, but it's not true. The process of organ donation as a social action is under the influence of so many factors like Cultural and Social variables. It's impassible to try to solve the shortage of transplanting organs without knowing about the reasons and barriers against organ donation. This study aims at a cultural and social analysis of organ donation. In order to fulfill the objective of the research, a combined conceptual framework with and emphasis on Parson's social action theory has been arranged after reviewing sociological, logical, legal and religious perspectives and also reviewing empirical resources, according to which research hypotheses have been proposed. After defining concepts and maintaining suitable measures, their validity and reliability were tested. Finally, there is a the rest of the variables such as age, physical health gain, attitude, sex, socio-economic status are the next most important factors. Definition of key terms:
