Today, paying attention to employees and aligning their features and capabilities with the brand is of great importance for organizations in competitive environments. According to previous studies, factors such as competency, satisfaction, and commitment have been used as mediators between HRM and the brand of the organization. The statistical population of the study consisted of 270 employees of different branches of social security insurance in Alborz province. The sample size was determined based on Morgan's table and 220 questionnaires were distributed and 159 correct questionnaires returned. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by an interview with industry experts and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient at 0.854. Confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation modeling (SEM), AMOS and SPSS software were used for data analysis. The results showed that the conceptual model of the research has good fitness. After examining 9 direct hypotheses and 3 hypotheses with mediating variables, it was concluded that the main research hypothesis about the relationship between HRM and brand and 6 other hypotheses was positive and significant. Also, the relationship between HRM with competence and competence with the brand was not significant and the variable mediating role of competence between HRM and brand is not confirmed, but two variables of commitment and satisfaction can play a mediating role in the relationship between HRM and brand. Therefore, organizations can enhance the brand of the organization by measuring, planning and continuously improving HRM indicators and adopting strategies to increase employee commitment and satisfaction, and increase customer satisfaction by increasing sales and profits.

This study aims to investigate the impact of parental career behaviors on undergraduate student’s career exploration and the mediating role of career self-efficacy. In the literature it is suggested that some social and individual factors facilitate students’ career exploration. Therefore, parental career behaviors and career self-efficacy is considered as predictors of student’s career exploration attitudes within the scope of the study. In this respect, data which are collected from 405 undergraduate students having an education on tourism and hotel management field by the survey method are analyzed by using the structural equation modeling. The results of the study indicate that parental career behaviors which are addressed support; interference and lack of engagement have a significant effect on student’s career exploration behaviors such as intended-systematic exploration, environment exploration and self-exploration. In addition, it has been found that one of the dimensions of parental career behaviors addressed as a lack of engagement has a significant effect on career self-efficacy levels of students. However, research results indicate that student’s career self-efficacy has a significant effect on only the self-exploration dimension. On the other hand, career self-efficacy has a partial mediating role between lack of engagement attitudes of parents and career exploration behaviors of students.


It is common knowledge that organizations today face the challenges of growing competition. Therefore, organizations need to develop smarter to plan for several diverse and real-time challenges. The aim of this paper is to test the impact of knowledge management (KM) processes, organizational capabilities (OC), and mediating KM mechanisms and KM technologies toward a smart organization (SO). In this paper, structural equation modeling was applied by using Smart PLS 3.3.3 software to test hypotheses and the accuracy of the suggested model. The results showed a direct impact between all constructs and are a reflection of the SO of the employees (N=225) working in three Jordanian telecommunications companies.

The aim of this study was to investigate the mediator role of moral disengagement in the relationship between gender roles and dating violence. Participants were 425 university students [310 (72.9%) female, 115 (27.1%) male, Mage = 20.68 years, SD = 2.21] who completed questionnaires package involving the Gender Roles Attitudes Scale, the Attitudes toward Dating Violence Scales, and the Moral Disengagement Scale. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. A bootstrapping analysis was conducted in order to determine any indirect effects. The results showed that gender roles predicted moral disengagement and dating violence negatively, and that moral disengagement predicted dating violence positively. It was further found that the structural equation model that proposed that gender roles had a direct and an indirect effect through moral disengagement on dating violence was confirmed. The results of the study were discussed in the light of relevant literature, and suggestions for future studies were made.
