The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of initial public offering (IPO) on the financial performance of companies admitted to the Tehran Stock Exchange. In this connection, through screening sampling from among 458 companies in the period of 2019-2023, 132 companies were selected as a sample and with the panel data approach for 660 observations (year-company) of the multivariate regression model aimed at the research hypothesis based on fundamentals. Theory and literature of the subject were estimated. Using the obtained results, it can be stated that the public offering has a negative but insignificant effect on the ratio of net profit to total assets, so that with the increase of each unit in the public offering, the ratio of net profit to total assets is -0.023. unit decreases and considering that the probability of this variable is greater than 0.05. Therefore, public offering does not have a significant effect on the ratio of net profit to total assets. However, the variable of net income logarithm has a significant positive effect on the ratio of net profit to total assets. In general, the results show that the variable coefficient 〖[ln(Net Income)〗_(i,t)*IPO_it] is equal to -0.017, which indicates the negative effect of public offering on the financial performance of companies, which according to the statistics t variable coefficient 〖[ln(Net Income)〗_(i,t)*IPO_it] is significant (-2.37), according to the above, the research hypothesis can be considered confirmed. Investors may overprice new offerings due to manipulated reports showing high earnings at the time of issuance. And to neglect the profit management that indicates a temporary increase in income. Because of this, investors are likely to be disappointed to see a decline in operating performance after the IPO. And they adjust their pricing downwards, which in turn causes the stock market to underperform.

Purpose: Evaluating the performance of employees is one of the most critical requirements for senior managers in organizations. One of the challenges in this regard is the assessment of the performance of staff personnel. Due to the nature of their activities, defining quantitative indicators alone cannot provide an acceptable evaluation. Therefore, this research focuses on presenting an applied fuzzy model for the evaluation of staff personnel.Methodology: This study involves developing a hierarchical fuzzy performance evaluation system composed of both qualitative and quantitative indicators simultaneously. The indicators consist of 7 quantitative and 5 qualitative ones, identified and fuzzified with the input of 11 senior managers of the organization. Considering all indicators simultaneously in a system would require a very large number of fuzzy rules. Therefore, a step-by-step model with continuous and hierarchical fuzzy systems is used in this article, significantly reducing the number of rules. Finally, the developed model is implemented in Simulink, a Matlab tool, using the Mamdani method.Findings: The results of the `evaluation of the developed model closely matched expectations with good accuracy, providing a suitable basis for employee assessments. The advantages of this model include its relatively good accuracy compared to traditional models, higher employee satisfaction, and reducing subjective assessments resulting from bias, relationships, etc. It also enables faster and simpler evaluations for supervisors and managers.Originality/Value: The presented model is a practical approach that has been implemented in a real organization. It offers the possibility for other organizations to conduct employee evaluations by adjusting some indicators according to their activities, thereby adding value to the scientific field.
