Finally, 59 factors influencing governance with a corporate sustainability approach for the National Iranian Oil Company were agreed upon with an appropriate reliability coefficient. After prioritization, four factors were identified: updating strategic statements with corporate sustainability approach, increasing the level of knowledge and awareness of the board of international concepts of sustainability, applying long-term risks in strategic plans and evaluating the process of addressing community critical concerns.

The aim of this research was to propose a local model for selecting managers of public enterprises by determining affecting political and non political dimensions, concepts and codes. To achieve this goal, mixed-method approach was applied. In the first step, meta-synthesis was carried out with analyzing 46 aricles from 761 articles (2007-2019) targeted for the research subject. For validation of findingd, Delphi method was used. Eighteen experts were selected and Delphi technique was performed in two stages. Finally, seven dimensions, 20 concepts and 101 codes were extracted. The findings suggested that in addition to nonpolitical dimensions, political dimension, comprised of two intra-organizational interventions (e.g., political skills, internal networking, politicization, political background, political behaviors, politics perceptions, political will, and political considerations) and extra-organization political interventions (political ecology, political pressure, external networking, presidential courses, government, and elected officials support) influence the selection of managers.

The data collection tool was a standard questionnaire whose validity was checked and confirmed by convergent validity in addition to face validity. Convergent validity was calculated for coronary stress (0.63), emotional burnout (0.54) and work-related accidents (0.66). The reliability of the questionnaire was evaluated and confirmed by Cronbachchr('39')s alpha for coronary stress (0.89), emotional burnout (0.87) and work-related accidents (0.85). Pearson correlation test and structural equation modeling method were used in data analysis. Findings show that coronary stress has a positive and significant effect on emotional burnout and also on accidents caused by nurseschr('39') work.
