In the present world a company’s profile is not substantiated purely in relation to financial issues, rather, a need for the inclusion of environmental and social perspectives arises. According to this, there is a rapidly growing level of awareness of social and environmental activities, and this view has been considered in recent years under the title of sustainability performance. According to the concepts of the contingency theory, the implementation of the sustainability approach can be significantly different depending on the different conditions of the organization. This theory has brought many consequences in management decision-making in an organization, management decisions themselves are affected by their characteristics.The purpose of this research is to investigate the moderating role of managers' behavioral dimensions on the relationship between contingent factors and non-financial sustainability performance. Nine research hypotheses were tested and analyzed using the information of 142 firms admitted to the Tehran Stock Exchange in the period from 2013 to 2022 (including 1420 firm-year observations) and using regression. The results indicated a positive and significant effect of firm size on non-financial sustainability performance and a negative and significant effect of environmental complexity and uncertainty on non-financial sustainability performance. No significant relationship was documented between board independence and non-financial sustainability performance.

Compliance with social and environmental responsibilities is one of the requirements of the current competitive era, and the competitiveness pressure of companies in this situation imposes costs on companies that can affect the company's financial performance. In this research, the moderating role of competitive strength in the relation between social and environmental responsibilities with financial performance has been investigated. The statistical sample of this research is the companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange between 2016 and 2021. By regular screening method, 108 companies have been selected as samples. After checking the classical assumptions of regression, the panel data model with fixed effects has been used. The results showed that social performance has a positive relation with financial performance. The competition strength has a negative moderating role in the relation between social performance with financial performance. Environmental performance has a positive relation with financial performance, and the competition strength has a negative moderating role in this relation. According to the coefficients of variables, the social dimension of the company is more effective in increasing performance than the environmental dimension.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the moderating role of conservatism on the relationship between audit quality and earnings management. The current research is analytical and correlational. Also, this research is considered a quantitative research based on the nature and characteristics of the data used to analyze the hypotheses. In order to collect data, first the library method and then the statistics provided by the Tehran Stock Exchange Organization were used. The findings obtained from the regression model on a sample of 110 companies admitted to the Tehran Stock Exchange in the 8-year period from 2015 to 2022 show that audit quality has an inverse and significant relationship with profit management. On the other hand, it was found that conservatism has an effect on the relationship between audit quality and profit management. It is concluded that conservatism leads to the reduction of profit management by identifying losses on time and delaying the recognition of profits. Since the audit quality has reduced the information asymmetry, this will reduce profit manipulation through profit management. In this connection, conservatism plays an important role in limiting managers' opportunistic reporting. Also, conservatism reduces the company's incentives for profit management, which reduces biases caused by opportunism in accounting. Therefore, it is expected that conservatism plays a moderating role on the relationship between audit quality and earnings management, the findings of the research also confirm these expectations.
