MethodThis research is descriptive-survey in nature and applied in terms of purpose and the method of data collection is survey research method. The statistical population of this research consisted of nurses in Shahid Yaheinejad Hospital in Mazandaran province, with 182 nurses. In order to determine the minimum required sample size, one class was calculated from Krejcie and Morgan's table by stratified random sampling method of each education area, and 118 nurses were selected as the sample size but according to the ratio of the direction and rounding up, the total number of samples was 122 nurses. The standard questionnaire of Weekend activity Jeong et al. (2020), job stress Osipow & Spokane, (1987), psychological well-being Ryff et al. (2008), job self-efficacy Riggs & Knight (1994) and job satisfaction Smith et al. (1969). Structural validity, convergent validity and divergent validity were used to assess validity, and combined reliability (CR) and Cronbach's alpha coefficient were used to calculate reliability. To analyze the data, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were used.ResultsThe results showed that weekend activity has a significant negative effect on job stress (t=30.76, β=-0.87), job stress has a significant negative effect on psychological well-being (t=59.02, β=-0.94) and job self-efficacy (t=2.36, β=-0.44). psychological well-being has a significant positive effect on job self-efficacy (t=2.37, β=0.43), and both psychological well-being (t=3.001, β=0.45) and job self-efficacy (t=2.54, β=0.42) have a positive significant positive effect on employee job satisfaction. DiscussionAccording to the results that showed the importance of weekend activity on the emotional and behavioral reactions of employees in the workplace, it is therefore suggested that decisions be taken in order to provide conditions for nurses to spend the weekend with activities appropriate to their mood.

IntroductionNurses experience high job stress due to the characteristics of nursing work such as work shifts and unpredictable changes in the patient's condition. Frequent and extensive changes in hospitals can hurt nurses and cause fatigue due to change, which has been largely neglected and less researched. The purpose of this study was to investigate the moderating role of resilience in the relationship between job stress and job engagement in nurses of Al-Zahra Hospital in Isfahan. MethodThe current research method was descriptive survey-correlation research. The statistical population consisted of 1700 nurses of Al-Zahra Hospital in Isfahan city, who were selected based on the Mont Carlo method and 200 people (60 men and 140 women) were selected by available sampling. Questionnaires of HSE occupational stress, resilience and job engagement were implemented. ResultsUsing SPSS-24 software data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient method and simple regression simultaneously. The results showed that the correlation coefficient between job stress and job engagement at a high level of resilience (p < 0.01, r = -0.28) is lower than the correlation coefficient between job stress and job engagement at a low level of resilience. (p > 0.01, r = - 0.38). DiscussionDespite the fact that job stress is an important factor in reducing job engagement, but, increasing job stress cannot reduce job engagement much in employees with high resilience.

Introduction Job satisfaction is a multi-dimensional concept and is related to several factors. In other words, job satisfaction will be achieved by a set of factors. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to investigatethe relationship of affective well-being and job stress with job satisfaction, concerning the mediating role of job self-sfficacy Method The research method is descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of the study was all the employees of neuroscience centers in Lorestan province in 2019. 3 centers were randomly selected and a random sampling method was used to select individuals. Finally, by removing those who did not complete the questionnaire completely, 252 people participated in the study. Four questionnaires were used in this study: Job-related Affective Well-being Questionnaire (JAWS), Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ), Job Stress Questionnaire (HSE), and Job Self-efficacy Questionnaire. Results Findings showed that the proposed model had a good fit. The results also showed that job stress had significant relationships with job self-efficacy and job satisfaction (p < 0.05). The relationships of job-related affective well-being with job self-efficacy and job satisfaction were also significant (p < 0.05). Also, the mediating role of job self-efficacy in the relationship of job-related affective well-being with job satisfaction was significant. Discussion Remarkable in the findings of this study was the existence of a third variable between the relationship between job-related affective well-being and job satisfaction. Affective well-being first affects job self-efficacy and then job self-efficacy affects job satisfaction. Employees' emotions in the workplace affect how employees think.

This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the moderating role of big five personality factors in the relationship between job stress and emotional exhaustion and fatigue. Research statistical population was employees of a public organization in Tehran city, Iran. Among them, two hundred sixty five employees were selected using systematic random sampling. Research instruments were Big Five Personality Factor Questionnaire, Job Stress Questionnaire (JSQ), Emotional Exhaustion Questionnaire (EEQ) and fatigue researcher-made Questionnaire. Data were then analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and hierarchical regression analysis. Results revealed that neuroticism moderates the relationship between job stress and emotional exhaustion and fatigue. Simple slope analysis showed that in high neuroticism, rather than low neuroticism, there is a stronger positive relationship between job stress and emotional exhaustion and fatigue. Results of the current research also indicated that high neuroticism is a risk factor for relating job stress to emotional exhaustion and fatigue.
