Organizational commitment underlies the belief in the goals and values of the organization, a sense of loyalty, moral obligation, heartfelt desire, and ultimately the continuity of employee activity in the organization. The presence of committed human resources enhances the image of the organization in the community and provides a platform for the development and excellence of this institution. While the low level or lack of commitment leads to many unpleasant consequences such as: leaving the service, long absenteeism, reduced client trust, reduced income, and unwillingness to stay in the organization. Research evidence shows that job burnout is one of the most important factors that is inversely related to organizational commitment (wang & et al, 2020; Zhou, 2015). In other words, burnout is considered a psychological syndrome that occurs in response to chronic work-related stressors (Maslach & et al., 2001; D'Amico et al., 2020). In this regard, due to the high rate of burnout and the effect it has on the organizational commitment of employees (Hakanen & et al., 2008), there is an increasing need for psychological interventions in these variables. Improving psychological flexibility through the matrix model provides an opportunity to prevent job burnout and promote organizational commitment in managers. MethodThis study sought to determine the effectiveness of the matrix model in the job burnout and organizational commitment of the managers of Ahvaz Power Distribution Company, Iran. This is a pre-test/post-test quasi-experiment study with a control group. In this study, 30 managers who scored highest in the Maslach burnout inventory were selected and screened using multistage sampling. Then, they were put randomly in the experimental and control groups (n=15). The experimental group received a 10-session program (two-hour sessions per week) in accordance with the matrix model. In addition, the participants of both groups completed the burnout and Organisational commitment questionnaires both before and after the intervention. ResultsThe results of covariance analysis of data suggested that compared to the control group, the matrix model reduced burnout (F=125.02 and p<0.001) and improved organisational commitment (F=179.21 and p<0.001) in the managers of the experimental group. ConclusionInternational research over the past two decades on the acceptance and commitment therapy points out that psychological resilience is the key to mental health and well-being in society and organizations. Since most the psychotherapy approaches focus on how to reduce unpleasant thoughts, emotions, and feelings, the Matrix model, as the latest model of acceptance and commitment therapy, seeks to pursue valuable actions even despite of difficulties through perspective and It is called value-based life (Polk, Schoendorff, Webster & Olaz, 2016). Following the findings, it can be argued that the matrix model was Effectively reduced job burnout and improving Organizational commitment. Thus, organizations are recommended to use this model to diminish employees’ burnout.

Intoduction Researches has recently provided convincing evidence about diagnosing borderline personality disorder in youth. Therefore National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) acknowledged the diagnosis of borderline personality in individuals under 18 years old and if necessary supports treatment and early intervention in this age group. ACT matrix is an approach based on route selection and upgrading the ability of individuals to approach valuable goals, despite the problems in life. Therefore, in the matrix model getting viewpoints of clients considered as the basis of treatment and by examining actions of getting away and getting close to values and compassion in commitment and change strategies helps them achieve a live, purposeful and meaningful life. In fact mindfulness due to taking viewpoints provides context for getting compassion and mindfulness. Mindfulness and compassion are two wings of a bird that both play effective role in inspiring for man, their transition and also individual evolution to fly. Overall, on the one hand according to evidence-based researches about effectiveness of ACT with compassion treatment on a wide range of borderline personality disorder symptoms and on the other hand lack of this kind of researches in Iran, this question arises that whether ACT with compassion is effective on self-injury behaviors and quality of life of female students with symptoms of borderline personality disorder. Method Present study is an experimental design by using pre and posttest with a control group. Therapeutic intervention in experimental group implemented 16 sixty minute sessions weekly for female students between 15-17 years old who have Borderline personality symptoms. During this time participants in experimental and control group responded to Self-Injury behavior Scale of Klonsky and Glenn (2009) and Quality of Life Index of Cummins (2002), before and after intervention and in follow-up (8 weeks after the end of intervention). Results The findings of covariance analysis showed that ACT matrix with Compassion has significantly reduced symptoms of self-injury and improved quality of life. Eta coefficient shows that ACT with Compassion therapy explain 47% of self-injury behaviors and 46% of life quality and these results has been maintained in follow-up stage. Discussion The results of this study showed that despite the cultural and social differences between the present research group and the groups studied in other societies and cultures, ACT matrix with Compassion therapy has significantly reduced symptoms of self- injury and improved quality of life in teenagers with symptoms of borderline personality disorder. This approach seeks to teach teens how to break up from thought content by taking viewpoints, instead of stuck the past and conceptualizing on future live sort their life story, recognizing values and important individuals of their lives and ultimately taking step to achieve these goals and values without getting stuck in trap of their attention and with compassion for themselves and others.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of child- parent relation therapy (CPRT) on improvement of conduct disorder symptoms in 8 year-old school children in Ahvaz. A pretest-posttest design with a control group was used in this study. Participants were all parents of 300 students who were at first and second grades. To find and select main subjects, two steps were taken. Firstly, the parents whose children gained scores higher than cut-off score in Conduct Disorder (CBCL) were selected. Secondly, for final selection, the parents were attended in the structured diagnostic interview, based on DSM-IV-TR criteria. Main subjects were finally selected from those parents whose children's disorder symptoms were confirmed through the diagnostic interview. Then, they were divided randomly into experimental (including 15 students) and control groups (including 15 students). The experimental group received child- parent relation therapy (CPRT) and control group received no intervention. The analysis showed that the children of mothers who were in the experimental group had a significant decrease in the symptoms of conduct disorder comparing to the children of mothers in the control group. According to the findings, it seems that the training provided to mothers in treatment sessions like reflective listening, therapeutic limit setting, identifying and responding to the feelings of children, child-centered play therapy and giving choices to children, reduces symptoms of conduct disorder symptoms in children.
