The purpose of this study is to identify and extract the barriers to transparency in the governance order based on research conducted over the past decade using the meta-synthesis method. A total of 200 articles were initially reviewed, which were narrowed down to 30 articles after summarization. To ensure reliability, agreement among three coders was used, and interpretive and theoretical validity were employed to ensure the study's validity. Following the identification and aggregation of transparency barriers, expert consultations were conducted to rank the importance of each barrier. According to the findings, transparency barriers were classified into five categories: environmental and external barriers, organizational and institutional barriers, legal barriers, executive and supervisory barriers, and conceptual ambiguity and theoretical confusion. The ranking of transparency barriers showed that the most critical obstacles to enhancing organizational transparency include the prevalence of administrative corruption, political and partisan interference, conflicts of interest, the confidentiality of organizational information, dependence on natural resources like oil and gas, nepotism in the management system, lack of media freedom, weak spirituality and absence of ethical leadership, inefficiency in whistleblower protection mechanisms, and weaknesses in the legal system's judicial responses. The results indicate that these five categories of barriers collectively contribute to the erosion of social capital, public trust, and satisfaction, and perpetuate a cycle of non-transparency.

On the other hand, the concept of social capital at the micro level and interpersonal relationships are also used for this purpose. Management teaching is a service to help managers to improve performance. Given the importance of marketing instructors' services, this study aims to identify the process of personal brand formation among management teachers, adopting a philosophical-interpretive orientation, qualitative method, and grounded theory. The statistical population comprised management instructors with personal brands; a sample of 18 management instructors who are researchers in personal branding was analyzed. Results indicate that social capital constitutes a personal-brand strategy, with the identified concepts capturing the overlap between social capital and the actions and reactions forming a personal brand. Personal branding through social capital yields specific consequences. Since a personal brand arises from others' perceptions formed through interactions with the individual, building a robust personal brand for management instructors requires social capital.

The research is applied in purpose and employs a descriptive, correlational, cross-sectional design. The statistical population of the research includes all the employees of the Imam Khomeini (RA) Relief Committee of Kurdistan Province (N = 401). A stratified sampling method was used, with Cohen's approach and an online sample size calculator for structural equation models available in www.danielsoper.com, leading to the determination of 210 respondents. A standard questionnaire was administered to collect data. Given non-normal data distribution as indicated by skewness and kurtosis tests, Partial Least Squares (PLS) was used for data analysis. Reliability of the measurement model was established through factor loadings, composite reliability, and Cronbach's alpha, while convergent validity was supported by AVE and discriminant validity by HTMT. The SEM results showed that Hexaco personality and transformational leadership exert direct effects on succession, and also indirect effects through protean career attitude as a mediator.
