Increasing human resource productivity is one of the most important issues of the new decade. Consequently, new organizational policies, including educational systems, have emerged, with a focus on organizational well-being. This study aims to analyze the lived experiences of primary school teachers regarding the factors and concepts of organizational well-being in the education system.

This qualitative research was conducted using thematic analysis. Purposeful criterion sampling was used, and data saturation was achieved through in-depth interviews with 20 primary school teachers. Data from the teachers' lived experiences were analyzed using thematic analysis and the MAXQDA 12 software.

The findings were categorized into four groups: satisfaction, values, job satisfaction, and work motivators, with 13 main themes: "mental satisfaction", "psychological satisfaction", "social satisfaction", "psychological values", "social values", "spiritual values", "mental values", "satisfaction with work conditions", "satisfaction with communication", "satisfaction with work content", "economic motivators", "social motivators," and "organizational motivators".

The results indicate that the job well-being of primary school teachers is influenced by job satisfaction, values, and internal and external motivators. Major challenges include the government's consumerist approach to education, declining teacher status, and lack of educational and financial equity. Solutions include establishing educational and financial equity, restoring teacher status, decentralization, and creating an appropriate incentive system. According to the findings, enhancing the status and dignity of teachers in society is essential for improving their efficiency.

The aim of the present study was the pathology of research culture in Farhangian University. On the basis of the purpose this study follows applied research that has been done by a mixed- methods and a sequential exploratory design. The Participants of the qualitative part of the study included all faculty members of Farhangian University of South Khorasan province selected as participants using purposive sampling method. The statistical population of the quantitative research included all the professors of Farhangian University that were selected as the statistical sample using the available sampling method (118 people). To collect the data, an interview and a questionnaire were used. The reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed based on factor load coefficients, Cronbach's alpha (0.80) and combined reliability (0.78). the results of the qualitative part of the research showed 62 open codes, 13 axial codes and 3 selected codes Moreover, the results of the quantitative part of the research showed that the pathology culture model of research culture had three dimensions of content, structural and environmental. the results showed that these dimensions explain 0.85 of the changes in the culture of research in Farhangian University.

The current study was conducted to determine the role of school life quality in predicting the learned helplessness of adolescent students with the mediating role of assertiveness.

Methods and Materials: 

The research population consisted of all 8th-grade male students in Birjand city during the 2023-2024 academic year, totaling 2514 students. According to the Krejcie and Morgan table and using a multi-stage cluster sampling method, 335 students were selected as the sample. The data collection tools were the Williams and Button (1981) School Quality of Life Questionnaire, the Gambrill and Richie (1975) Assertiveness Scale, and the Quinless and Nelson (1988) Learned Helplessness Scale. Pearson correlation coefficient test and structural equation modeling approach were used for data analysis. SPSS -26 and Smart PLS-3 software were used for data analysis.

All direct path coefficients relating school life quality to assertiveness were positive and significant with learned helplessness being negative and significant (p<0.01). Moreover, the results showed that the model of the relationship between assertiveness and learned helplessness was negative and significant (p<0.01). Finally, the bootstrap test results indicate that the indirect path coefficient between school life quality and learned helplessness through the mediating variable of assertiveness is significant at the alpha level of 0.01 (p<0.01). In other words, the proposed research model has an acceptable fit at the 0.01 level of significance. The quality of school life, through the mediating variable of assertiveness, has the ability to indirectly predict the level of learned helplessness in adolescents, and improving the quality of school life, and consequently increasing the level of adolescent assertiveness, facilitates the reduction of their learned helplessness.

Based on the research findings, it is possible to predict adolescents' learned helplessness through the variables of school life quality and assertiveness. Therefore, the results of the research provide a basis for conducting extensive studies aimed at improving the quality of life in schools and strengthening adolescents' assertiveness.

Self-efficacy means an individuals perception of his ability to perform an activity and educational engagement is the quality of an effort that individuals spend on purpose-oriented activities. Both variables are the most important indicators of the quality of education. Therefore, in this study, in addition to comparing these indices in two universities such as Birjand University of Medical Sciences and Teachers university, the predictive value of these indicators in the academic performance of students has been studied. This study is a descriptive-comparative research. The statistical population of the study consisted of all students entering the years 2014-17 of the University of Medical Sciences and University of Teachers. a sample size, According to the Cochran formula, 180 students were selected by stratified random sampling method. A two-part questionnaire including self-efficacy questionnaire and academic engagement was used to collect data. students performance was also measured based on their overall grade. Data were analyzed by SPSS software (version 24), using Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistical tests, t and regression. In this study, totally 180 students with an average age of 20.7 ± 1.27 were from teacher students (110) and medical students (70). Comparison of the average of academic self-efficacy showed that teacher students had higher academic self-efficacy (P <0.001). There was no significant difference in the comparison of educational involvement among the two groups (P = 0.476). Beta coefficient of academic self-efficacy in medical students has a larger contribution to predicting academic performance. The results of this study showed that the academic self-efficacy variable is one of the predictors of academic performance. Also, due to the findings, more and deeper research is needed on academic self-efficacy variables and academic engagement in the two groups.

This research is performed to Relation Spiritual Healthwith quality of life of Birjand sacrified and disabled. By this،60persons (30 sacrified and 30 disabled) are selected through random sampling tho groups are peer (body-motor disability) and demographic information have been gathered to research. Spiritual well-being and quality of life in both groups responded to the questionnaire. Research plan evaluation method is Correlation. To analysis data، descriptive ststitical mwthods are used as average،standard deviation،inferential statistical method as independent t-test and regression. . independent t-test resuts show there is no significant relation between Spiritual Healthdisabled and sacrified and there is no significant relation between quality of life disabled and sacrified. Regression findings show there is significant relation between Spiritual Healthand quality of life disabled and sacrified، The spiritual health can be a predictor of quality of life in sacrified. However، this relationship was not significant disabilities. Spiritual health in veterans can be a predictor of quality of life.
