  • Comparison across X, Y and Z generation employees’ attraction and retention factors: multigroup analysis (MGA)
    Mahmoud Dehghan Nayeri, Alireza Sadeghpour Firouzabad, Sedigheh Safari
    International Journal of Organizational Analysis, 2026
    Purpose The viability of a firm in today’s HRM depends on understanding the varying demands and preferences of its workforce across generations. A company’s ability to retain employees from generations X, Y and Z may be affected by different factors, respectively. In addition to explaining how these generations influence the employees’ purpose to stay with the organization, the study attempts to discover the aspects that contribute to individuals’ attraction and retention. Design/methodology/approach To do this, a thorough literature analysis was used to obtain a list of the influential elements, and then the fuzzy Delphi approach was employed to filter the list concerning the community under research. Afterward, a comparison of all three employee generations was made using the PLS multigroup analysis technique. Findings There is no statistically significant difference between generations X and Y, according to the findings, despite variances between generations [X, Z] and [Y, Z]. Clear professional path growth and career enrichment were the most significant elements that contributed to the differences between the groups under examination. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is one of the first studies that, by bringing together all three generations of employees of a company, seeks to find the most important components of attraction and retention for each of the generations and compare them with each other.
  • A systematic review of the association between competitive strategies, quality management, and non-financial and financial performance
    Zhenia Tahmasebinia, Mahmoud Dehghan Nayeri, Foozhan Tahmasebinia
    International Journal of Productivity and Quality Management, 2026
    This study aims to systematically examine the relationship between quality management, competitive strategies (cost leadership, concentration, and differentiation), and performance (non-financial and financial). The Web of Science platform and Scopus database were used for collecting the data, and 127 articles were finally chosen from these two important databases. Our analysis shows a positive relationship between quality management, competitive strategies (cost leadership, focus, and differentiation), and non-financial and financial performance. Based on our investigation, our proposal includes both direct and indirect connections between the aforementioned concepts. This research presents several novel contributions: examining the associations between the above-mentioned concepts and thereby helping to strengthen their theoretical framework. In addition, the study proposed combining quality management practices with competitive strategies to enhance non-financial performance and then improve financial performance to survive in a constantly changing competitive environment.
  • Bank Client Credit Scoring, Along With Loan Parameters Optimization Using the Simulation-Optimization Model
    Amir Khorrami, Mahmoud Dehghan Nayeri, Ali Rajabzadeh
    Journal of Mathematics and Modeling in Finance, 2025
    This study assesses a new simulation-optimization method for credit scoring and bank loan parameter optimization. The proposed approach encompasses data preparation, credit scoring, and simulation-optimization stages. Initially, data regarding bank loans and company financial statements are collected and relevant features are calculated. The Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance (MRMR) algorithm selects the most critical features. Subsequently, classification methods including logistic regression (LR), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), artificial neural network (ANN), adaptive boosting (AdaBoost), and random forest (RF) are employed to address the credit scoring problem. These models' performance is evaluated using accuracy, F1-score, and area under curve (AUC) criteria, with the best-performing model selected for subsequent stages. During simulation-optimization, optimal loan features are determined to minimize default rates by treating loan size, interest rate, and repayment period as optimization variables. The memetic algorithm (MA) solves this optimization problem in four cases, utilizing a pre-trained credit scoring model to estimate client default probability. A case study involving 1000 legal clients of an Iranian commercial bank demonstrated that 11 features were selected from 30 defined features for credit scoring. The RF method outperformed other credit scoring models. The simulation-optimization approach reduced default rates from 38% to 20% through decreased loan size and interest rates, coupled with extended repayment periods. These results confirm the method's effectiveness in reducing banking credit risk.

  • Optimal joint dynamic pricing and inventory replenishment policy for perishable products with freshness-sensitive demand
    Mahmoud Dehghan Nayeri, Roghayeh Haddad
    International Journal of Mathematics in Operational Research, 2025
    This paper aims to propose a mathematical model for joint pricing and inventory replenishment decisions of a retailer who faces a freshness-sensitive demand. The retailer has the option to submit fast replenishment orders with lower profit margins to other peer retailers within the short lifecycle of the perishable products in addition to the regular replenishment orders that take place at the start of the lifecycle. Also, the retailer can sell the end-of-season perished product at lower prices. The proposed model is capable of handling different types of demand and freshness functions. To show the applicability of the proposed model, it is used to optimise pricing, discounting, inventory, and replenishment decisions of two product categories of a major retailer in Iran using real-world data. Results indicate that the retailer should pursue a specific joint pricing and replenishment strategy in each product category. A sensitivity analysis is also performed for initial inventory and initial price for each of the categories. Results revealed that each of the factors contributes differently to the total profit in each category. The total profit showed a different level of sensitivity to changes in the two aforementioned tweaked parameters.
  • Correction: Developing mathematical models and intelligent sustainable supply chains by uncertain parameters and algorithms (AIMS Mathematics, (2024), 9, 3, (5204–5233), 10.3934/math.2024252)

  • Developing mathematical models and intelligent sustainable supply chains by uncertain parameters and algorithms
    Massoumeh Nazari, Mahmoud Dehghan Nayeri, Kiamars Fathi Hafshjani
    Aims Mathematics, 2024
    <p>In the modern era, uncertainty is a common feature of modeling techniques for designing sustainable supply chains. The increasing severity of environmental issues necessitates the integration of sustainable production in supply chain management. The present study aims to develop mathematical models and intelligent sustainable supply chains with uncertain parameters and algorithms. The goal is to design a sustainable and eco-friendly model that minimizes environmental contaminants and system costs. This descriptive-analytical study employs a novel hybrid technique to manage the uncertainty associated with the model parameters, research problems, and problem complexity, and tackle large-scale problems. The automotive industry was selected to implement the mathematical model. These combined techniques consider the disruption-induced capacity reduction and the uncertainties surrounding shipping costs and demand. Results suggest that hybrid models and techniques are efficient in solving large-scale problems and delivering high-quality processing. Further, the findings show that heuristic solutions can significantly reduce computation time for larger problems.</p>
  • The drivers of success in new-service development: rough set theory approach
    Mahmoud Dehghan Nayeri, Moein Khazaei, Dania Abdolahbeigi
    International Journal of Services and Operations Management, 2022
    This paper aims to identify the most affecting factors in the service industry's new service development (NSD). Accordingly, it deploys an exploratory research method employing a rough set theory. To this aim, it assesses the NSD maturity level of 30 service firms in response to the extent of the literature-based NSD affecting factors. The NSD maturity was estimated according to Jin et al. (2014), including four areas of customer involvement, strategic, knowledge management, and required process documentation. Accordingly, the rough set approach employed to scrutinise the relationship between the affecting factors and the studied firms' NSD maturity. Findings prove that innovation is the core of the NSD process since it was the most frequent within all RS reductions. Moreover, the organisation's strategic orientation and maturity, and market orientation are the most significant determinants of firms' future NSD potential.
