Abstract
The objective of the present study is to carry out a reviewon the relationship between religiousness and trust via metaanalysis of conducted researches that have been done in Iran. For this purpose, amongthe18 existing investigative documents in Tehran University, Shahid Beheshti University, Allahmeh Tabatabai University, and Tarbiat Modarres University, a number of 16 met the requirements to be regarded as metaanalysis, which have been done during the last ten years. On this basis, research sample size indicates 8245 people from different walks of life among Iranian people. The findingsthat stem from the combination of studies probability and reviews over the impactcoefficient showed that there is ameaningful relationship between religiousness and trust. This finding confirms the major hypothesis of this researchIt has been reported in researches there is a direct connection andthe average rate of this connection is about 0.4. Also, another hypothesis of this study is the impact of using different statistical tests on the results coming from religiousness and trust.The results proved to be far from sensible. Hence, it shows that using different statistical tests have no influence on the amount of resulted correlation between religiousness and trust. Samplegroups’ hypothesis, on the amount of religiousness correlation and trust in the result of variance analysis, did not make any sense, and the hypothesis was eventually refused. Last but not least, the hypothesis of studying field impact on the correlation of religiousness and trust, which was achievedas the result of variance analysis proved to be meaningless. Therefore, it can be concluded that, religiousness, apart from ground factors of research consisting of sample groups, studying field and statistical test using in researches, directly impacts the way people socially trust one another.

Internal branding has been recognized as an important issue in marketing in recent trends. Also, internal marketing is one of the tools for implementing the strategy within an organization that focuses on employees as the organization's first customers.

These tools improve employees’ commitment and encourage them to deliver the brand promises to customers. The statistical population of the research was Semnan Taxation Office personnel from which 78 samples were selected through simple random sampling. Structural equations modeling is used to test the research model using WarpPLS 3.0 software. Based on the findings, the internal marketing does not have a direct impact on the brand performance, but it affects brand performance indirectly through the internal branding. The results of path analysis confirmed the direct effect of internal branding on the brand performance, as well as its indirect effect on performance through employee's commitment to the brand.

In other words, the mechanism of employee behavior variant in regard to corporate social responsibility remains unclear. The purpose of this causal-relationship research was to identify the variables affecting the relationship between CSR and agriculture experts' job commitment.

The main method was prediction orientation segmentation algorithms to identify the unknown variables affecting the relationship between two variables. The results showed that the effect of corporate social responsibility in development of employee commitment is relatively complex, evolutionary and gradually. This means that to achieve the desired results of corporate social responsibility, the continuation of the goals of its dimensions can play an important role in employees attribution. It also became clear with over time of employee resident at organization, their interpretation of CSR and as a result its effect on their commitment, would be differ.

Abstract
Researchers have recently focused on integrating motivation and commitment models and have presented mixed models. This research, for the first time, presents an integrated model of motivation (Self-Determination Theory) and commitment (Three-Component Model), from a person-centered view. This study was carried out using a two-step cluster analysis method including hierarchical method and optimization of the profiles distances on 306 knowledge workers of four Iranian organizations. The results reveal four profiles, named based on their characteristics, "people with diverse and mild motives," "motivated people with mild intrinsic motives," "motivated people with mild external motives," and "people with internal motives." The characteristics of these profiles are examined concerning motivation and commitment. The results of this research can help to expand the literature of the mixed models of commitment and motivation. They can also be helpful for managers in terms of recognizing the knowledgeable employees of their organizations and categorizing them in terms of motivation, commitment and personality traits.
