Abstract The aim of this study was to identify the dimensions and assessment models of professional qualifications in digital marketing jobs. This research employed a systematic review method, focusing on studies published in international databases between 2016 and 2025. Ultimately, eight selected articles were approved, analyzed, and synthesized. findings revealed that assessing soft skills—such as analytical thinking and problem-solving, communication skills, teamwork, management skills, personal attributes, and interpersonal abilities—plays a significant role in evaluating the professional qualifications of individuals in digital marketing roles. another key finding was that integrated models like DigComp are recognized as some of the most comprehensive frameworks for assessment in this field. In addition to general qualifications, DigComp covers five core areas: information and data literacy, communication, content creation, safety, and problem-solving. Furthermore, the 21st Century Skills Model, which includes learning skills, digital literacies, and life and career skills, along with performance-based situational questionnaires and assessments, can serve as effective, multidimensional tools for evaluating individuals’ qualifications in these occupations.

Abstract Development of key personnel, as one of the basic components of human resource management, plays a pivotal role in improving the efficiency, effectiveness, and learning of organizations. The aim of the present study is to design a talent development model in the Court of Accounts of the country. This study was conducted with an interpretive paradigm, a qualitative approach, a case study strategy, and a content analysis method. The research population included organizational experts in key positions who were identified and clustered based on the experts' opinions. To collect data, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 19 experts selected through purposive sampling, and the data were analyzed until theoretical saturation was reached. The findings showed that the talent development model in the Court of Accounts consists of four main parts: (1) goals and strategies, (2) what and areas of development, (3) how and mechanisms of development, and (4) individual and organizational results. The studies showed that key forces have been developed in some areas, such as personal and technical competencies, but for the future they also need to pay attention to other areas. Also, the experts emphasized the difference in mechanisms, level and implementation between key forces and other employees. The identified talent development mechanisms fall into four main categories: job-based, relationship-based, formal program-based and informal/informal mechanisms. This model can be used as a practical basis for designing and improving talent management programs in the Court of Accounts and similar organizations.

Abstract The developments of the last few decades in the economy, even capitalism and the crisis of 2007, show that it is impossible to talk about the withdrawal of the government in the development process. The level of government involvement in the development process is one of the important issues of the economy. The main goal of this research is to describe the way and scope of government intervention. The research method of this research is descriptive-analytical. Government production of goods and services, transfer payments, taxes and regulations are the four main channels of the government to influence economic activities. And the regulation of the government's optimal intervention based on investment, commercial and industrial policy has been investigated. Based on the results of the research, contrary to liberal beliefs that government intervention hinders development in East Asian countries, the conscious intervention of government agents is the main factor in the development of these countries, and the main focus in these countries is on the manner and scope of government intervention instead of interference or non-interference. In our country, the presence of the government should be comprehensive and focused on development. With the intervention of the government in the processes of development, regulation and guidance of the market mechanism, inadequacies can be eliminated and the economic system can be driven to a better situation in terms of resource allocation and economic capacity creation.
