Undoubtedly survival password of capitalism in the very competitive world is organizational knowledge. Resources of knowledge production are organizational dialogue forums that capture multiple dialogues and at the same time different dialogues.

Abstract
In recent years, supply chain management and its performance measurement has been an area of interest to both scholars & practitioners especially in the field of operation and production management. The purpose of this paper is to propose and validate a new framework based on total quality management and EFQM concepts.
In this research we try to develop a synthesized model by comparison of EFQM measures, recent supply chain performance measurement literacy, and socio economical contributing factors of Shahrvand Chain Stores. The model was measured by questionnaire approach. The criteria's reliability, validity and criteria's weight evaluated by advanced statistical and mathematical methods. The results of the research reflect significant difference between current & desirable situation for some of criteria of the model. It is important to notice that the findings of this research should cautiously be generalized to other organizations of the same line of business since the model has only been tested in one supply chain. In other word, because of the nature of the case study, external validity of the model is not justifiable.
Keyword: Supply chain management, Supply chain performance, EFQM modeling.

Abstract
The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between empowerment and organizational structure and the required factors in order to propose an appropriate approach for empowerment of employees. As an approach to identify and evaluate organizational structure, three traits of formality, sophistication and concentration (Robbins theory) is applied as the basis of structure study, and psychological empowerment is employed as evaluation criterion for empowerment. According to earlier researches related to empowerment (particularly Spritzer research work), the psychological empowerment consists of four traits of competence, self-determination, meaningfulness and effectiveness.
From a population of 560 employees of NIOPDC (Tehran area), 230 sample were randomly selected using simple sampling plan, and Spearman’s coefficient correlation was used to investigate the relationship between organizational structure and employees’ empowerment.
The findings of the analysis are then employed to identify and suggest a conventional model for the application of psychological empowerment in research community.
