Introduction Occupational accidents are one of the most important problems in developed and developing countries. Occupational accidents in any form impose many economic and social problems on organization and society. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to predict group membership (accident-involved and accident-free employees) from interpersonal conflict and organizational justice. Method Participants in the research were 255 employees of the National Iranian Drilling Company who were selected by simple random sampling method. The research design was correlational and predictive. Discriminant Analysis was used for data analysis. The instrument included Spector and Jacks (1998) Interpersonal Conflict Scale and Niehoff and Moorman (1993) Organizational Justice Questionnaire. The accident-involved employees mean people who had been severely injured as a result of traumatic work-related accidents and were referred to a medical center. Results The results confirmed research hypotheses. In other words, the accident-involved employees had high interpersonal conflict scores and low organizational justice scores than accident-free employees. The variables of interpersonal conflict and then organizational justice have shown the highest correlation with only the discriminant function with two predictor variables, respectively. Discussion The variables studied in this study were good predictors for group separation (accident-involved and accident-free employees), so it is suggested that organizations can reduce accident–involvement by controlling the mentioned variables. Also, based on the results, it is suggested that through job stress management programs as well as safety measures, strengthening the principles of safe behavior throughout the organization, the organizations can reduce accidents or eliminate risk factors.

The purpose of this study was to design and test a model of some antecedents and outcomes of organizational creativity. In this model, organizational innovative climate, psychological capital, intrinsic motivation and psychological empowerment were considered as the antecedents of organizational creativity while organizational innovation and job performance were considered as the outcomes. The participants of the study were 340 employees, (including 304 males and 36 females) of National Iranian South Oil Company (NISOC) in Ahvaz, who were selected by stratified random sampling method. The instruments used to measure the variables were Situational Outlook Questionnaire (SOQ), Psychological Capital Scale, Intrinsic Motivation Scale, Psychological Empowerment Scale, Organizational Creativity Scale, Organizational Innovation Scale and Job Performance Scale. Fitness of the proposed model was examined through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), SPSS-18 and AMOS-18 software packages. The indirect effects were tested using the bootstrap procedure. Findings indicated that the proposed model fit the data relatively well. Better fit and more meaningful results were obtained by omitting four non-significant paths and using AMOS modification indices. All indirect effects were significant as well.

The aim of this research was the study of relationship between job stress and general health considering the moderating role of perceived organizational support in employees of Oil Company. Research statistical population was employees of Oil Company in Ahvaz city. Among them, one hundred employees were selected using simple random sampling method. To measure the variables, Job Stress Questionnaire (JSQ), General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) and Perceived Organizational Support Questionnaire (POSQ) were used as the instruments in this study. Using SPSS-16, Pearson’s correlation and moderated regression methods were run for the analysis of the moderating effect. The results indicate that there is a statistically significant negative relationship between job stress and general health. It is also found that perceived organizational support modifies the relationship between job stress and general health.
