To this end, 17 experts were selected and interviewed using the Grounded Theory and semi-structured interviews of experts. The data were analyzed after identifying the standards for 18 agricultural crops that were not listed on the Commodity Exchange and Futures Markets. The required data for calculating the standards were extracted from databases in 2008-2017. Initially, the data from previous research and interviews with experts were analyzed using the coding method. These data, which were extracted from in-depth interviews with 17 people, were analyzed in three steps of open coding, axial coding and selective coding and 40 extracted keywords were placed after changes (deletion and integration), which finally decided to select all standards on 6 standards. The required standards for acceptance in futures markets include crop revenue risk, cash market size, fluidity cost, degree of homogeneity, commerciality ratio, and perishability. According to each obtained standard, the required values for each product were calculated.https://www.oajre.ir/article_154039_91eb2ad224e4f35082100958cf9a75fe.pdfIranian Business Management AssociationInternational Journal of Resistive Economics2345-495410320220701The Effect of Strategic and Internal Green Marketing on Competitive Advantage and organizational Performance (Case Study: Branches of Melli Bank of Mazandaran Province of Iran)172616347710.22034/oajre.2022.163477ENHoomanShababiAssistant Professor, Department of Management, Rahedanesh Institute of Higher Education, Babol, Iran.0000-0002-2601-7842SogandGolestaniMaster of Business Management- Strategic Management, Department of Management, Rahedanesh Institute of Higher Education, Babol, Iran.Journal Article20220320Going green means to pursue knowledge and practices that can lead to more environmentally friendly and ecologically responsible decisions and lifestyles, which can help protect the environment and sustain its natural resources for current and future generations.

Despite the lack of determinants of social responsibility within the company, studies on intra organizational factors, including the characteristics of board members, to analyze why board members differ in commitment to social responsibility are growing. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of board characteristics on social responsibility. For this purpose, information on 91 TSE listed companies in the period 2016-2017 was collected. After performing the required tests, the fixed effects method was found to be suitable for estimating the model, and due to the problem of variance heterogeneity, the GLS method was used to estimate the model. The results show that the gender and independence of the board had a positive and significant effect on corporate social responsibility, but the size of the board had a negative effect on social responsibility.https://www.oajre.ir/article_163480_5daa664e5b441746b42e7208f24d3741.pdfIranian Business Management AssociationInternational Journal of Resistive Economics2345-495410320220701Antecedents of Malaysian Consumer’s Green Practices364717020310.22034/oajre.2022.170203ENSaharHosseinikhah ChoshalyGraduate School of Business, National University of Malaysia (UKM), Malaysia.Journal Article20220522The paper presents critical dimensions namely; attitude, subjective norms, perceived control on the green practices concepts (reducing waste, reuse of materials and recycling.

Financial literacy, as one of the essential skills in modern societies, plays a significant role in making informed financial decisions and improving individuals' economic well-being. On the other hand, cooperative learning, as a novel educational method, can lead to improved social skills and deeper learning through student interaction and collaboration. In this research, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to check the normality of the data, and Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis were employed for data analysis. The statistical population included secondary school students in Tehran, with a sample size of 200 students selected through simple random sampling. The results showed that all components of cooperative learning (group interactions, individual and group responsibility, and communication and collaborative skills) had a significant positive correlation with financial literacy components (financial knowledge, financial behaviors, and financial attitudes). Specifically, the Pearson correlation coefficient for the relationship between group interactions and financial literacy was 0.543, between individual and group responsibility and financial literacy was 0.476, and between communication and collaborative skills and financial literacy was 0.512. These findings highlight the importance of utilizing cooperative learning methods to improve students' financial literacy. It is recommended that schools pay special attention to strengthening these methods in their curricula. Additionally, organizing training workshops for teachers and developing comprehensive financial education programs can help improve students' financial knowledge and skills.https://www.oajre.ir/article_201227_a261137849f86f8cb086d6fe004c5f3c.pdf
