Introduction: Classical dimensions of citizenship (political, civil, and social), in the modern theoretical framework, in addition to the necessary dimensions aimed at the whole environment and human society, have shown a unique evolution in the field of citizenship and its education. Based on this and considering that people of our country do not know much about their citizenship rights and responsibilities and the observance of citizenship ethics is not at a good level, citizenship education and understanding its dimensions is a new necessity. The purpose was to compile a comprehensive package of citizenship education based on these new dimensions.Method: The research method was comparative theme analysis based on literature, research context of scientific texts in modern citizenship and its education, and sample included 56 scientific sources. Data were analyzed through thematic network analysis.Results: Findings showed that the components and structure of the comprehensive package of citizenship education include educational techniques focused on political, civil, social, sustainable development, environmental, digital, and media citizenship education. A comprehensive package of citizenship education was designed in twelve 90-minute sessions. The coefficient of expert agreement was 0.93, which shows the adequacy of this package. In this way, a comprehensive package in the field of citizenship was added to Iran's practical and educational knowledge.Conclusion: The application of a comprehensive package of citizenship education in universities, as well as educational, and cultural centers, will help the development of citizenship attitudes and behaviors of people in the society and will reduce inappropriate behaviors and some of the current problems of the society.

Introduction: This research was carried out with the purpose of investigating the effect of attitude towards sexual harassment (overt, covert negative, and positive) on sexual harassment in the workplace considering the mediating role of intention to sexual harassment.Method: The design of the research was a correlational study. The population of the research was all the males banking organizations, stock exchange, and insurance offices in Tehran city from among them, 273 were selected based on the convenience sampling method. The research tools included sexual harassment questionnaire (Fitzgerald, Gelfand, & Drasgow, 1995) and a researcher-made questionnaire on attitude toward sexual harassment (Hosseini, Mehdad & Saffarinia, 2021) and intention to sexual harassment (Hosseini, Mehdad & saffarinia, 2021). Data were analyzed by using the Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling.Findings: results showed there was a significant positive relationship between positive attitudes towards sexual harassment and intention to sexual harassment and a significant negative relationship between overt and covert negative attitudes towards sexual harassment with an intention to sexual harassment (p≤0.05). Moreover, there was a significant positive relationship between covert negative attitudes and positive attitudes toward sexual harassment with sexual harassment. In addition, there was a significant positive relationship between intention to sexual harassment and sexual harassment (p≤0.05). Moreover, the results of structural equation modeling showed that the direct effect of positive attitude towards sexual harassment on intention to sexual harassment and intention to sexual harassment on sexual harassment was significant and results of indirect effects showed that only the indirect effect of positive attitude towards sexual harassment on sexual harassment is significant with mediating role of intention to sexual harassment (p≤0.05).Conclusion: It can be concluded that by increasing the positive attitude towards sexual harassment, the intention to sexual harassment increases and leads to sexual harassment. Therefore, to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace, there is a need to change attitudes toward sexual harassment as well as organizational intervention to combat the conversion of intent to behavior.
