<p>The objective of the present study was to investigate the structural relationship of the innovation culture with the educational performance of faculty members in the universities of Khorramabad based on the ideas and attitudes of faculty members and students. The population of the study consists of all full-time official faculty members working in Khorramabad universities (Lorestan University and Islamic Azad University, Khorramabad Branch) and also all students of the above mentioned universities in the academic year 2012-2013. The sample of the study was selected using stratified random sampling proportionate to the population size of the universities. The sample of Lorestan University based on professors and students was equal as 106 participants for professors and 212 participants for students. In addition, the statistical sample of Islamic Azad University was equal as 67 participants for professors and 134 participants for students. The questionnaires were researcher-made and developed based on Likert scale. The reliabilities of both questionnaires based on Cronbach's alpha were respectively equal as 0.93 and 0.96 and the statistical tests employed in the research were Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling. In general, according to the findings of the research, based on Pearson correlation coefficient, there was no significant correlation between none of the seven research hypotheses or in other words, between 7 components of innovation culture and the dimensions of educational performance of faculty members in P&gt;0.05. Finally, structural equation modeling indicates that innovation culture and its dimensions have no direct effect on the educational performance of faculty members.</p>

Health And Well Being

Health and well-being are such important issues for employees in the workplace. Given the importance of this issue, this study was conducted to investigate the role of spirituality and meaning at work for job happiness and psychological well-being. The research design used in this study was correlation one and the sample consisted of 204 numbers of revenue & customs staff of Isfahan and Tehran cities. The research questionnaires were spirituality and meaning at work questionnaires, job happiness scale and psychological well-being questionnaire.¬ The research hypotheses were analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling. The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between spirituality and meaning at work and job happiness and psychological well-being. The results of structural equation modeling also showed that during a series of chain relationships first spirituality and meaning at work communicate with job happiness and psychological well-being and then job happiness reinforces psychological well-being. Totally, the results of this study showed that psychological well-being at work can be considered as a variable with spiritual/affective basis in the workplaces.

<p>There is no same image who displayed out in the world because Leader career roles developed always leans on personal character, but it could describe as each person trend to play some a particular role. However the career role developed by nature and environment, impression management upon nurture education and skill training meanwhile involve with final result so that this work supposes career role would significant influence impression management. Hence image could be control if who would like to mold into a particular image on purpose for achievement. In addition to leaders in organization always have more pressure than employees whether performance or profit especial in such economic hardship. So that this work assumes leader career role significant affect to leader impression management and leaders’ image concerns is moderator to interfere with the relationship of these two aspects. At last this work assays hypotheses successful via structural equation modeling. According to the result, this work looks forward to make industries to clear up management problem and digs out more potential crises.</p>

Home Culture

The purpose of the present study is to examine home culture attachment construct and its underlying variables among Iranian English as Foreign Language learners as well as their attitudes towards English language learning. Pearson correlation is used with a sample of 411 English major university students from different provinces in Iran, mainly Khorasan Razavi, Khoran Jonoubi and Sistan Baluchestan participated in this study. As for the quantitative phase of data collection, the study employed home culture attachment and attitude towards English language learning questionnaires. The reliability and validity of these questionnaires are reported. A home culture attachment model and an attitude model are also developed and tested using structural equation modeling. The results suggest that all three subscales of attitudes (emotional, behavioral, and cognitive) are positive and significant predictors of students' western attachment. From three subscales of attitude, only behavioral attitude is negative and significant predictors of students' religious attachment. In addition, Iranian attachment is influenced by cognitive attitudes and emotional attitudes. Besides, cognitive attitude is a positive and significant predictor of students' cultural attachment. It is also found that, artistic attachment is influenced by behavioral attitudes and emotional attitudes. Finally, the pedagogical implications are discussed in light of foreign language achievement.
