Read More Introduction:The present study aimed to identify electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns of brain function, focusing on multi-regional waves in the frontal lobe, and to examine their relationship with executive functions in an organizational context. Executive functions, particularly working memory and cognitive flexibility, play a crucial role in workplace performance and organizational behavior. Despite the growing interest in neuroscientific approaches to organizational research, there remains a gap in our understanding of how specific EEG patterns correlate with executive functions in professional settings. This study seeks to bridge this gap by investigating the neurophysiological underpinnings of executive tasks among employees in a private institution in Tehran, Iran.Method:The statistical population comprised all employees of an institution in Tehran in 2022. From this population, 22 participants were selected using simple random sampling and evaluated after meeting the study's inclusion criteria. The assessment of research variables was conducted using the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) and Quantitative Electroencephalography (QEEG). QEEG data were recorded using a Mitsar-202 device and Win-EEG software, with subsequent analysis performed using Neuroguide software. To examine the relationship between EEG waves and executive functions of working memory and cognitive flexibility, partial correlation analysis was employed with Bonferroni correction, controlling for age and gender (p<0.0071).Results:Partial correlation coefficients revealed significant relationships between delta and beta waves in the frontal region and participants' performance on the Intra-Extra Dimensional Set Shift (IED) task, a measure of cognitive flexibility, from the CANTAB battery. Additionally, significant correlations were observed between these EEG waves and performance on the Spatial Working Memory (SWM) task, assessing working memory capacity. These findings highlight the neurophysiological dynamics of delta and beta waves in adult cognitive performance, particularly in executive function domains crucial for workplace effectiveness.Discussion:The results of this study underscore the neurophysiological dynamics of delta and beta waves in adult cognitive performance, specifically about executive functions vital for workplace effectiveness. By emphasizing the role of neurophysiological prerequisites for executive functions in the work environment, this research carries significant implications for both theoretical advancement and practical applications. From a theoretical perspective, it contributes to the growing body of literature on the neural correlates of executive functions, providing insights into the specific roles of delta and beta waves in cognitive flexibility and working memory. Practically, these findings have potential applications in the development of more effective employee selection tools and competency development programs within organizations. Future research could explore how these neurophysiological patterns might predict job performance or be modulated through targeted interventions to enhance executive functions in the workplace. Additionally, longitudinal studies could investigate the stability of these EEG patterns and their relationship to executive functions over time, potentially informing organizational strategies for employee development and performance optimization.

Read More With a brief look at individuals' career paths, we encounter the phenomenon of emotional resignation, where, despite physical presence, an employee feels psychologically detached from their work environment. Psychological resilience among employees is a valuable asset for organizations. By fostering resilience, organizations can better withstand sudden changes and environmental challenges, thereby enhancing their ability to achieve goals. Investing in the development of employees' self-regulation skills can help organizations create a dynamic and trust-based work environment, which ultimately promotes productivity, creativity, and employee commitment. The purpose of this study is to predict job satisfaction based on two key factors: emotional self-regulation and psychological resilience. This study follows a descriptive-correlational design with a foundational research purpose. Using the G*Power software, the statistical population consisted of 118 non-academic staff members from the University of Guilan, selected through convenience sampling. Data collection employed three instruments: the Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (Weiss, Dawis, England, & Lofquist, 1967), the Emotional Self-Regulation Questionnaire (Affective Styles) (Hoffman & Kashdan, 2010), and the Psychological Resilience Questionnaire (Connor & Davidson, 2003).The collected data were analyzed through Pearson correlation and multiple regression methods. Results indicated a significant positive correlation between emotional self-regulation and job satisfaction (r = 0.652, P < 0.01), as well as between psychological resilience and job satisfaction (r = 0.635, P < 0.01). Additionally, there was a significant positive correlation between emotional self-regulation and psychological resilience in predicting job satisfaction (r = 0.733, P < 0.01). Multiple regression analysis for predicting job satisfaction revealed that both emotional self-regulation (β = 0.40, P = 0.001) and psychological resilience (β = 0.33, P = 0.001) explained 46% of the variance in job satisfaction scores among employees.The findings underscore the critical importance of emotional self-regulation and resilience training in human resource management and organizational mental health. Strengthening emotional self-regulation and resilience training are two fundamental approaches to improving the work environment and increasing employee job satisfaction.

Read More IntroductionIn recent years, despite the increasing importance of the quality of teachers' working life, in the educational systems of many countries, due to reasons such as shrinking policies in recruiting human resources, increasing the working hours of teachers, restructuring organizational structures, changing traditional teaching methods and replacing virtual education methods, and extensive changes in Educational programs have increased the tasks assigned to teachers. The increase in workload has negative consequences for teachers, which needs to be investigated. Based on this, the purpose of the present research was to study the relationship between work overload and career plateau of physical education teachers with the mediating role of emotional stability. MethodThis applied study was conducted using the correlational research method. The statistical population of this study included all sports teachers in Golestan province at primary and secondary levels (686 teachers) and the sample size was estimated to be 247 physical education teachers based on Cochran's formula. The selection of the research sample was done using cluster random method. The measurement tools used in this study included three questionnaires of work overload (Yun, 2022), emotional stability (Manlunas et al., 2021) and career plateau (Ramgoolam, 2020) that all of which have a five-point Likert scale. The collected data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially using statistical software SPSS version 25 and SmartPLS version 4.ResultsThe results of the research showed that the relationship between work overload and emotional stability of physical education teachers is negative and significant. Another part of the research results indicated that there is a negative and significant relationship between work overload and the career plateau of physical education teachers. Finally, the results confirmed the significant relationship between work overload and career plateau of physical education teachers with the mediating role of emotional stability.DiscussionBased on the results, it can be concluded that work overload can lead to the formation of negative career consequences such as career plateau by reducing the emotional stability of physical education teachers.

Read More Introduction:Job satisfaction has become one of the most extensively studied topics in organizational research, gaining increasing attention in recent years. As a crucial element in achieving a competitive edge, job satisfaction enhances individual performance, thereby facilitating an organization’s progress toward its goals. Given its significance, this study aims to explore effective strategies for fostering job satisfaction among university graduates.Method:This qualitative study employed a thematic analysis approach to identify key factors contributing to job satisfaction. The research sample comprised individuals who reported high job satisfaction and met the predefined inclusion criteria. Participants were selected through purposive and convenience sampling, with data collection continuing until theoretical saturation was reached. A total of 12 participants were interviewed, and their responses were systematically analyzed to extract meaningful themes.Results:Thematic analysis of the participants' narratives revealed that an active and realistic approach is fundamental to achieving job satisfaction among university graduates. This approach consists of several key themes: adaptability, a constructive attitude, systematic awareness, personal agency, discipline, dynamism, leveraging experience, applying knowledge, purposefulness, continuity, unity, strengthening family bonds, utilizing modern resources, fostering positive emotions, creating a healthy cooperative atmosphere, cultivating interest, building self-esteem, encouraging creativity, and adhering to core values.Discussion:The findings underscore the importance of shifting the focus in career counseling from merely selecting a satisfying job to actively cultivating job satisfaction. Rather than perceiving job satisfaction as an external condition dependent on the job itself, individuals can enhance their professional fulfillment by adopting the identified strategies. By incorporating adaptability, systematic awareness, and a constructive mindset, employees can navigate workplace challenges more effectively, leading to greater engagement and productivity.These insights have significant implications for universities, employers, and career counselors. Educational institutions can integrate these strategies into career development programs to equip graduates with the necessary skills for sustaining job satisfaction. Employers can design workplace policies that promote adaptability, continuous learning, and positive work environments. Career counselors can shift their focus toward empowering individuals to take an active role in shaping their professional experiences.In conclusion, this study highlights the value of an active, realistic approach in fostering job satisfaction. By implementing the identified strategies, individuals can enhance their professional well-being, thereby contributing to organizational success. These findings offer a roadmap for creating a motivated and satisfied workforce, ultimately benefiting both employees and employers alike.

Read More Introduction Job attitudes is a concept that reflects the positive and negative perceptions of the individuals about work and the various aspects of their work environment. An appropriate and positive attitude is concerned for achieving individual and organizational success. Research regarding the attitudes of employees in the organization will make managers be aware of employees’ views and expectations about their jobs, responsibilities, and organization climate, and to determine whether the policies and practices implemented by them are equitable for all employees. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of job attitudes (Job engagement, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction) with job performance of Kermanshah public librarians. Method Research design was a descriptive correlational study. The population of this study was all Kermanshah public librarians. 83 librarians were randomly selected. Instrument included Allen & Meyer’ (1990) Organizational Commitment, Schaufeli & Bakker’ (2006) Job Engagement, Weis et al’ (1967) Job Satisfaction, and Hersey & Goldsmith’ (1980) Job Performance Questionnaires. The content validity and internal consistency reliability of the questionnaires were confirmed. The data were analyzed by pearson orrelation oefficient and multivariate regression analysis. Results The results showed that there was a positive significant relationship between job engagement, job satisfaction and organizational commitment with librarians' job performance. Also, the results of Multivariate Regression Analysis showed that job engagement (β=0.52, p < 0.001), job satisfaction (β=0.44, p < 0.001), and organizational commitment (β=0.45, p < 0.001) predicted job performance, significantly. Discussion The results showed that organizational commitment, job engagement and job satisfaction are important factors that can predict job performance of librarians. Librarians with high organizational commitment, job engagement, and job satisfaction do more efforts because they are motivated to and satisfied with their organization and their jobs. As the findings showed, the highest the correlation between job engagement (an attitude that makes individuals psychologically identify themselves with their job) and job performance, the level of librarians' performance would be high. Therefore, in the long-term planning for public libraries, librarians' job attitudes should be taken into consideration. This requires managers to provide appropriate context for improving and increasing employees’ job engagement, job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Managers should pay attention to employees' attitudes, because employees' attitudes affect the behavior of individuals in the organization.
