The research method is descriptive-survey. The statistical population consists of two groups. The first group consists of experts familiar with theories of strategic HR planning as well as recruiting and laying off knowledge workers, with an unspecified number scattered across the country and selectively chosen. In this research, their theories are used in the “Formulation and Design” section. The second group consists of knowledge workers (with university education) from the National Development Fund (2115), 325 of whom were selected as a sample according to the Cochran formula. Questionnaires on external factors of strategic HR planning, knowledge workers, recruitment and laying off knowledge workers were used to collect the data. Their validity was 0.915, 0.949, 0.938, 0.921, and their reliability was 0.86, 0.991, 0.946, and 0.902, respectively. Data analysis was performed using structural equation modeling (SEM) by LISREL version 8.8. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between the external factors of strategic HR planning (e.g. economic conditions, geographic conditions, technological conditions, social conditions, and cultural conditions) and the recruitment of knowledge workers in the National Development Fund. There was also a significant relationship between the external factors of strategic HR planning (e.g. economic conditions, geographic conditions, technological conditions, social conditions, and cultural conditions) and laying off knowledge workers in the National Development Fund

Analytical and Rheological Study of Existentialist Aspects in Dramatic Literature with a Look at the Dramatic Works of Jean-Paul Sartre: (Case study: Nausea, Dirty Hands, Devil and Good Lord)
Get PDFThe real purpose of this article is to study the etymology of existentialism in the field of dramatic literature with a particular look at three great works by Jean Paul Sartre titled as “Nausea, “Dirty Hands” and “Devil and Good Lord”. Jean-Paul Sartre has been able to take a new look at dramatic literature within the limits of existence. According to the findings, it is obvious that Sartre relied on a non-existent existence and believes in fundamental deconstruction in all social and cultural contexts. In the meantime, he had considered the Platonic, Aristotelian, and Socratic perspectives and opened the doors towards the dramatic world because he had good knowledge of drama. Sartre's dialogues and monologues show how he views the world and the hereafter. This essay intends to find the correct answer to the question of what are the main reasons for the presence of existentialism in Sartre's plays. How, when and where was it formed? What philosophical concepts has Sartre used in his plays? To what extent has Sartre's political and social orientations appeared in his plays? How effective was Sartre's characterization in his plays in expressing his philosophical thoughts? This paper is descriptive-analytical and library-documentary, and finally analyzed by qualitative content analysis

The functional analysis is the dominating principle of the research; transformational and contextological analysis and methods of semantic and pragmatic interpretation are actively used as well. The resulting conclusion is as follows: the simple sentence of the aforementioned type possesses complex internal structure and complex system organization
