Reduction of limitations and increase in legal authority of women are necessary to achieve the highest rate of participation. In this regard, a developmental approach demands a balanced increase in the legal knowledge, organizational authorities and civil demands of women particularly that the number of employed women in public organizations has increased drastically in recent years. Participation in organizational decision makings concurrent with increase in legal knowledge leads to a better understanding of occupational and organizational conditions of women thus improving their efficiency and effectiveness in the organizations.
This paper studies the relationship between legal knowledge and organizational participation. Documentary methodology and statistical techniques are used in theory and experimental (field) sections respectively. The result shows that there is a meaningful and significant relationship between legal knowledge of women employees and their organizational participation.Access to stable development requires organized participation of all people, including women in all institutes.

It is obvious that the element of creativity and knowledge are the only sources of competitive advantage.
In a turbulent environment, on one hand, managers are seeking courses of action to solve problems using fewer sources and spending less time. On the Other hand, employees' expectations include sense of ownership, more opportunities for partnership, development, and self- actualization. In such a situation, empowerment is a key to use all the capacity of human resources and to response to the needs of employees.
This article aims to measure the level of women's empowerment in Iran's ICT Company, thus determining factors that influence empowerment.
Findings of this research indicate that the level of empowerment exists at a moderate level. The results of factor analysis highlights following factors: 1) management attitude; 2) between group values; 3) group structure; and 4) information communication. Further more, regression analysis shows management attitude, between group values and group structure determine 63% of variability in women's empowerment.Nowadays, due to rapid changes in environment, organizations tend to reduce their labor works and enhance the quality of work forces.

However, if natural resources are to be preserved for future generations, proper use of such resources will be imperative. Women are one of the prime users of natural resources. This study assesses the conservational behavior of rural women and factors influencing such behavior with regards to destruction, protection, and restoration of desert areas of Khuzestan province in Iran during the year 2006-2007.Using multi-stage random sampling techniques data is collected and rural women living in desert areas are interviewed. Result reveal rural women play in a vital role in protection, restoration and destruction of natural resources. Moreover, there is no significant relationship between personal characteristics and their activities in using natural resources. This implies that destruction of natural resources is not attributed to intentions of rural women. However, human basic needs such as searching for a place to live, unpredictable weather conditions, lack of conservation knowledge, financial difficulties, large family members, over grazing, and using woods as a means of fuel are the prime reason for destruction.Non-renewable natural resources play an important role in sustainable development of developing countries such as Iran.

The study is carried out using documental and fieldwork (questionnaire) methods. The theoretical framework of the study is based on pattern variables of Parsons and gender stratification theories of Randal Collins and Janet Chaftz.
The total population of the present study consists of women aged between 15 to 65 years old in rural regions of Zanjan province. Based on Cochran sampling formula, 500 of total population are selected as the sample size. Results show that about 21% of women have low participation in familial and meta-familial issues; whereas about 25% of women have a high level of participation, and only 35% of women have a medium level of participation. Results of path-analysis reveal that women's social and economic status is among the key variables that can influence their participation; (considering two dimensions of participation including culture and behavior). In other words, as the social and economic status of women ascends, their participation level rises considerably.The general purpose of the present study is to investigate the social and cultural factors related to the participation level of rural women in familial and meta-familial (social, political, economic and cultural) issues.
