The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of distress tolerance on mental health and academic performance with the mediation of emotion regulation in female students of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz. The statistical population included all the female students of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz who were studying in the academic year of 2019-2020 and 176 people were selected as a sample from them through a multi-stage random sampling method. In order to examine the research variables of each participant, completed the Distress Tolerance Scale (Simmons and Gaher, 2005), the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (Gross and John, 2003) and the General Health Questionnaire (Goldberg and Hiller 1979). The results showed that the model has a good fit with the data of the present study. The research method is descriptive-correlational type and structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data using SPSS and amous software. The results showed that distress tolerance both directly and indirectly through emotion regulation has a positive and significant relationship with mental health and academic performance.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between ethical leadership and organizational identification with unethical pro-organizational behavior mediated by organizational commitment. Unethical pro-organizational behavior refers to “actions that are intended to promote the effective functioning of the organization or its members, and violate core societal values, morales, laws, or standards of proper conduct”. This definition highlights two dimensions of Unethical pro-organizational behavior. First, UPOB is unethical in that it involves committing an action that goes against widely societal values, laws, or norms. Second, UPOB is intentional insofar as employees engage in the UPOB intending to benefit the organization, members of the organization, or their leader.

The present study was a descriptive correlational study. The population of the present study included all the employees of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, from which 133 persons were selected by stratified random sampling method as the sample of the study. The data collection instruments were the ethical leadership (Brown et al.), organizational identification (Mael & Ashforth), unethical pro-organizational behavior (Umphress et al.), and organizational commitment (Allen & Meyer) questionnaires. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) in SPSS-23 and AMOS-23 softwares.

Structural equation modeling analysis confirmed the fitness of the proposed model. The results showed that ethical leadership and organizational identity have  positive and significant effects on unethical pro-organizational behavior (p<0.01). Also, the mediating role of organizational commitment in the relationships of ethical leadership and organizational identity with unethical pro-organizational behavior were confirmed (p<0.01).

In general, the results showed that when an organization has ethical leadership and employees have a high involvement with their work and work environment, in such circumstances, they will have more organizational commitment and will seek compensation according to social exchange theory. So,  probably they will have more unethical pro-organizational behavior To benefit their organization.

The purpose of this study was investigating the effect of proactive personality, cognitive abilities and emotional stability on subjective career success through mediating role of self-efficacy. The research method is correlation of structural equation modeling and statistical population was the female managers of governmental organizations in ahvaz that 120 managers were studied by available sampling method. Research tools include careers success questionnaire   (Gattiker & Larwood, 1986), proactive personality scale (Seibert et al., 1999), cognitive abilities questionnaire (nejati, 1392), emotional stability taken from Big Five Questionnaire (Caprara et al., 1993) and self-efficacy scale (Sherer et al., 1982). Data analysis was performed by structural equation modeling method. The findings showed that direct effect of proactive personality and self-efficacy on subjective career success and direct effect of proactive personality, cognitive abilities and emotional stability on self-efficacy were significant (p< 0/001). Also the indirect effect of proactive personality, cognitive abilities and emotional stability on subjective career success was significant with the mediating role of self-efficacy (p< 0/001). Based on this, it can be concluded that proactive personality, both directly and through self-efficacy, affects the subjective career success. In addition, cognitive abilities and emotional stability through mediating self-efficacy improve subjective career success.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between ethical leadership, organizational identification and workplace spirituality with unethical pro-organizational behavior mediated by job satisfaction. The present study was a correlational study. The population of the present study included all the staff of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, from which 133 people were selected by stratified random sampling as a sample of the present study. The data collection instruments were Ethical Leadership Questionnaire, Brown et al. (2005), organizational identification Questionnaire, Mael & Ashforth (1992), workplace spirituality Questionnaire Milliman et al. (2003), unethical pro-organizational behavior Questionnaire Umphress et al. (2010), and Job Satisfaction Questionnaire Barry Fieldworth (1951). Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) in SPSS version 23 and AMOS 23 software programs. Structural SEM confirmed the proposed model’s fitness. The results indicated a direct and indirect relationship of ethical leadership, organizational identification, and workplace spirituality through job satisfaction on unethical pro-organizational behavior.

The aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the 18-item work-family conflict scale developed by Carlson, et al (2000) as an existing most comprehensive scale and the 6-item work-family conflict scale developed by Matthews et al. (2010) as a short scale with few items. For this purpose, 350 employees of the North Drilling Company of Ahvaz Branch participated in the research and completed the research questionnaires. Examination of the internal consistency of the questionnaire questions by Cronbachchr(chr('39')39chr('39'))s alpha method and the correlation of each question with the total test score showed that these two scales have acceptable reliability. In order to evaluate the validity of the scales, two methods were used: First, the confirmatory factor analysis, as expected, showed that the three-factor models for the work-family and family-work conflict conflict scale Carlson et al. (2000), as well as the two-factor model for the work-family and family-work conflict scale Matthews et al. (2010), fit well with the data. Second, the results of the empirical validity study showed that both work-family conflict scales have a positive relationship with the depression scale and a negative relationship with the satisfaction with life and subjective happiness scales. Overall, the research findings showed that both scales of work-family conflict, similar to the previous research, have acceptable validity and reliability. As a result, it can be used to measure this structure in Iranian employees.

The conflict between work and family as a major issue affecting both employees and employers and their families is accompanied by prominent family problems such as family satisfaction, couple relationship quality, and parenting quality. Therefore, industrial and organizational psychologists have focused their research on finding moderating variables to reduce such adverse effects. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the role of work-self facilitating and work-family conflict self-efficacy in reducing the effect of work-family conflict on family satisfaction, couple relationship quality and parenting quality of nurses.

The present study was a descriptive-correlational survey. the research community consisted of married nurses with children of govermental ahvaz city hospitals , among which 240 were selected as sample members in a multi - step sampling method. Carlson et al. (2000) Work-Family Conflict, Aryee et al. (1999) Family Satisfaction, Chonody et al. (2016) Couple Relationship Quality, Arnol et al. (1993) Parenting scale, Demerouti (2009) Work-Self Facilitation, Cinamon (2006) Work-Family Conflict Self-Efficacy Scale Questionnaires were used for data collecting. Data were analyzed by pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis using SPSS-22.

Results showed that both dimensions of work-family conflict had a negative and significant relationship with family satisfaction, couple relationship quality and parenting quality (P <0.01), Also, work-self facilitation and work-family conflict self-efficacy were able to moderate the relationship between these variables.

The results show that both dimensions of work-family conflict had a negative and significant relationship with family satisfaction, couple relationship quality and parenting quality. In addition, work-self facilitation and work-family conflict self-efficacy were able to moderate the relationship between these variables. As a result, it is possible to reduce the negative impact of work-family conflict on the family variables mentioned by increasing the conditions of Work-Self Facilitation in the workplace for nurses and also increasing the level of Work-Family Conflict Self-efficacy.

Today, work-family conflict is considered as one of the most important issues in the world of work, which is increasing rapidly and is not limited to one organization, and all organizations must pay special attention to this phenomenon in order to maintain their human resources as the most important competitive advantage. Nurses are no exception due to the high work requirements on the one hand and family issues on the other hand. People in the nursing profession usually work in different and sometimes irregular work shifts, and their work may be associated with stress and difficulties and affect nurses psychologically. In the meantime, the situation can be more difficult for married nurses, as they may become involved in work-family conflicts. The conflict between work and family as a major issue affecting both employees and employers and their families is accompanied by prominent family problems such as family satisfaction, couple relationship quality, and parenting quality. Therefore, industrial and organizational psychologists have focused their research on finding moderating variables to reduce such adverse effects. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the role of Wellbeing at Work in reducing the effect of work-family conflict on family satisfaction, couple relationship quality and parenting quality of nurses.

The present study was a correlational survey. The research community consisted of married nurses with children of govermental Ahvaz city hospitals, among which 240 were selected as sample members in a multi - step sampling method. Thus, among the Governmental hospitals in Ahvaz, four hospitals were randomly selected and 5 wards were randomly selected from each hospital and 12 people from each ward were selected by simple random method as constituent members in The present study was considered. The data collection period was three months (from September to November 2019). Among the distributed questionnaires, 231 questionnaires were returned, of which 223 were fully completed and usable, and 8 questionnaires were incompletely completed and excluded from the analysis process. Criteria for inclusion in the study included marriage, having children, willingness and informed consent to participate in the research and complete answers to all questions of self-report questionnaires. Incomplete completion of the questionnaires was the exit criterion. Carlson et al. (2000) Work-Family Conflict, Aryee et al. (1999) Family Satisfaction, Chonody et al. (2016) Couple Relationship Quality, Arnol et al. (1993) Parenting scale, Zheng et al. (2015) Employee well‐being Scale were used for data collecting. Data analysis was performed using SPSS-16 software through descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum) and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation and hierarchical regression).

The results of Pearson correlation coefficient showed that between work-family conflict and family satisfaction (r = -0/256, P <0/01), and Couple Relationship Quality (r = -0/274, P <0/01), and parenting quality ( r = 0/171, P <0/01), as well as between family-work conflict and family satisfaction (r = -0/273, P <0/01), and Couple Relationship Quality (r = -0/301, P <0/01), and Parenting quality (r = 0/165, P <0/01), there was a negative and significant relationship. Also, the results of hierarchical regression showed that adding the interaction of work-family conflict and Employeechr('39')s well-being to the regression equation in the second step, explained 0/631% of the variance of family satisfaction with 0/044% exclusive variance (𝜷= 0/227, P<0/01), and explained 0/685% of the variance of  the Couple Relationship Quality  increased by 0/022% of the exclusive variance (𝜷= 0/ 160, P<0/01), and the explanation of 0/671% of the variance of the parenting quality increased by 0/048% of the exclusive variance(𝜷= -0/237, P<0/01). Furthermore, the results of hierarchical regression showed that adding the interaction of family-work conflict and Employeechr('39')s well-being to the regression equation in the second step, explained 0/626% of the variance of family satisfaction with 0/036% exclusive variance (𝜷= 0/213, P<0/01), and explained 0/685% of the variance of  the Couple Relationship Quality increased by 0/016% of the exclusive variance (𝜷= 0/142, P<0/01), and the explanation of 0/654% of the variance of the parenting quality increased by 0/032% of the exclusive variance(𝜷= -0/200, P<0/01). Also, the regression coefficient related to the interaction of these variables showed that the interactive effect of work-family conflict and Employeechr('39')s well-being and also the interactive effect of family-work conflict and Employeechr('39')s well-being are statistically significant. Significance of this interaction means that the relationship between work-family conflict as well as family-work conflict with family satisfaction, the quality of couple relationship and the quality of parenting at high and low levels of Employeechr('39')s well-being are different. Therefore, it can be said that Employeechr('39')s well-being affects the relationship between work-family conflict and also family-work conflict with family satisfaction, the quality of couple relationship and the quality of parenting.

The results indicate that work-family conflict as well as family-work conflict had a significant role in reducing family satisfaction, the quality of couple relationships and the quality of parenting in nurses. In explaining these findings, we can refer to the theory of spillover. Accordingly, onechr('39')s experiences in one area (work or life) leak into another. In addition, according to the theory of role, work and family are each separate areas and each area tries to spend more time and attention in society. Reducing time spent with family members due to attendance at work jeopardizes happiness and a sense of intimacy between them (time-based work-family conflict).On the other hand, not being on time at work due to family issues causes problems for the person in the organization (time-based family- work conflict). In addition, spending a lot of time, effort and attention in the workplace reduces a personchr('39')s energy to take care of the family (exhaustion-based work-family conflict). Conversely, spending too much time, effort, and attention on the family reduces a personchr('39')s energy to take on job responsibilities (exhaustion-based family- work conflict). The employee may also become so engrossed in the pursuit of resources in the workplace that he or she sees the home environment as an organization (behavior-based work-family conflict). Conversely, one may assimilate to onechr('39')s family roles to the extent that one performs appropriate behaviors with the family domain in the workenvironment (behavior-based family-work conflict). All of these factors can have a negative effect on family outcomes. In addition, regarding the moderating role of Employeechr('39')s well-being, the results of regression analysis showed that this variable can moderate the negative effects of conflicts between work and family on family satisfaction, the quality of couple relationships and the quality of parenting. To explaining these findings, it can be said that work-family conflict is described as an incompatibility between work and family roles, which arises from the incompatible pressure of family and job roles. In other words, when a person plays two or more roles that are incompatible with each other, he / she experiences role conflict. Everyone is affected by work and family issues, regardless of demographic characteristics, socioeconomic status or family structure. On the other hand, as stated in the definition of Employeechr('39')s well-being, Employeechr('39')s well-being in the form of experiences such as job satisfaction, job enthusiasm, independence, competence, self-acceptance, purposefulness, personal growth, positive relationships with others , And the absence of negative experiences such as anxiety, stress and depression in the workplace. In addition to providing the necessities of life, the job is directly related to the psychological well-being of the individual and also paves the way for the satisfaction of many of his/her immaterial needs. People who experience positive well-being believe that they have positive feelings and pleasant experiences. Positive psychological well-being is characterized by the perception of efficient personal characteristics and successes, proper interaction with the world, and social cohesion and positive progress over time. Positive well-being includes satisfaction with life and energy and positive mood. This positive feeling acts as a buffer and allows people to be less affected by the negative effects of conflicts between work and family, And make better decisions to avoid the negative impact of these conflicts on different areas of their lives.

 Today, employees are constantly confronted with work-family conflict. These conflicts can affect family functioning including satisfaction, quality of marital relationship, and quality of parenting.  This descriptive-correlational survey aimed to investigate whether the family-self facilitating and Family-Friendly Work Environment can reduce the effect of work-family and family work conflicts on the aforementioned variables among nurses.

The participants of this study were 240married nurses with children who worked at governmental hospitals Ahvaz city. The sample selection was performed by multistage random sampling method. Data were collected using Carlson et al. (2000) Work-Family Conflict, Aryee et al. (1999) Family Satisfaction, Chonody et al. (2016) quality of marital relationship, Arnol et al. (1993) Parenting scale, Demerouti et al (2009) Family-Self Facilitation, Odle-Dusseau et al. (2013) Family-Friendly Work Environment Scale Questionnaires. The data was analyzed by Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis with SPSS-22 software.

We found that work-family and family work conflict had a significant negative relationship with family satisfaction, quality of marital relationship and parenting quality (P <0.01). In addition, family-self facilitation and family-friendly work environment were able to moderate the relationship between these variables.

According to the results the negative effects of work family and family-work conflict can be eased by the family-self facilitation and family-friendly work environment.
