Volume 11, Issue 4 (1-2024)
Abstract
Objectives: Improving employees’ welfare and supporting them has led to the success of the organization. Employees who feel supported by the company will work harder to improve their output and meet the objectives of the company. Finding factors affecting employee well-being has helped organizations to improve performance and achieve success. Therefore, this research has sought to test a model of causal factors affecting employees' well-being with the mediation of self-efficacy among the employees of Razi University of Kermanshah.
Methods: The current applied research was conducted using a descriptive-survey method for data collection. The data collection tool was a questionnaire, which was examined for face validity, convergent validity, and differential validity of the variables. Data analysis was done using a structural equation modeling approach with a partial least squares method through Smart PLs3 software. The statistical population (n=490) included all employees of Razi University of Kermanshah, among whom, 215 individuals were selected as a sample using Morgan's table.
Results: The findings showed that perceived organizational support and role ambiguity were effective on employees' well-being both directly and through the mediation of self-efficacy.

Volume 12, Issue 1 (4-2024)
Abstract
Objectives: Various causal pathways play a role in the occurrence of depression in healthcare workers. This study aimed to assess the effect of perceived stress and insomnia on depression in healthcare workers using path analysis in Hamadan, Iran.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, healthcare workers from Shahid Beheshti and Sina hospitals in Hamedan in 2023 were recruited. Perceived stress with two subscales of perceived helplessness and perceived self-efficacy, as well as insomnia and depression, were investigated using validated questionnaires. The path analysis was applied to assess the association.
Results: In total, 235 healthcare workers (35.7% nurses) were included. Gender, age, monthly working hours, and number of night shifts per month had a significant impact on depression (P<0.05). Path analysis demonstrated that except for the effect of perceived self-efficacy on insomnia, all standardized regression weights for relationships were statistically significant (P<0.05). The effect size of perceived helplessness on depression was the strongest compared to other relationships (standardized regression weight = 0.40). The direct effect of perceived helplessness and perceived self-efficacy on depression or insomnia as a mediator had a good fit to the data.
Conclusion: As evidenced by the obtained results, with the implementation of intervention and preventive programs to reduce stress and improve sleep, the occurrence of depression in healthcare workers is expected to decrease significantly.

Volume 12, Issue 3 (12-2024)
Abstract
Objectives: Job satisfaction is one of the most basic components of mental health, dynamism, efficiency, and creativity of employees in any job or profession. The present study aimed to determine the relationship between self-efficacy, self-regulation, and locus of control with job satisfaction in rotating shift employees of Imam Khomeini Hospital in Urmia.
Methods: The research method is correlational. The statistical population in this study included all male employees working rotating shifts at Imam Khomeini Hospital in Urmia, 150 of whom were selected as a sample based on the stratified random sampling method according to the Morgan table. This study used the Hoffman and Kashdan Emotional Self-Regulation Questionnaire, the Scherrer Self-Efficacy Questionnaire, the Rutter Locus of Control Test, and the Smith, Kendall, and Hewlett Job Satisfaction Questionnaire as data collection tools. Pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis with SPSS25 were used to analyze the hypotheses.
Results: The study showed that there was a relationship between self-efficacy and job satisfaction (0.001). There is also a positive relationship between self-regulation and job satisfaction and locus of control with job satisfaction (0.001). In the components of emotional self-regulation, the relationship of all three elements of concealment, compromise, and tolerance with job satisfaction was confirmed (0.001).
Conclusion: In short, self-efficacy, self-regulation, and internal locus of control are three important factors in determining the level of job satisfaction of employees. Cultivating these characteristics in people can help increase job satisfaction and, as a result, improve the performance and productivity of organizations.
