The purpose of this study was to investigate the causal relationship of workplace ostracism with job performance, organizational citizenship behavior and turnover intention, with mediating role of job satisfaction. The statistical population included all of the personnel of Water and Energy Company in Gotvand City and the partner firms, that among them 182 persons were selected by simple random sampling. The instruments used in the present study consist of Workplace Ostracism Questionnaire (Ferris, Brown, Berry & Lian, 2008) Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (Judge & Bono, 2000), Job Performance Questionnaire (Paterson, 1970), Organizational Citizenship Behavior Questionnaire (Smith, Organ & Near, 1983) and Turnover Intention Questionnaire (Camman, Fichman, Jenkins & Klesh, 1979). Fitness of the proposed model was examined through structural equation modeling (SEM), using SPSS-21 and AMOS-21 software packages. The results supported the effect of workplace ostracism on job satisfaction, job performance, organizational citizenship behavior, turnover intention, and the effect of job satisfaction on organizational citizenship behavior and turnover intention. The indirect effect of workplace ostracism on organizational citizenship behavior and turnover intention, through job satisfaction, were also significant. So organizations could reduce job satisfaction, job performance and organizational citizenship behavior by strengthening social relationships in the workplace and also prevent an increase in turnover intention.

The present study tried to design and test a model for precedents and consequences of organizational spirituality in an industrial organization. The sample included 400 employees who were randomly selected. They were asked to fill in 7 questionnaires, including Ethical Leadership Questionnaire, Transformational Leadership Questionnaire, Ethical Climate Questionnaire, Organizational Justice Questionnaire, Organizational Spirituality Questionnaire, Psychological Empowerment Questionnaire, Job Satisfaction Questionnaire, Emotional Commitment Scale, Organizational Citizenship Behavior Scale, Self-Actualization Scale, and The Self-Centered Scale. The assessment of the proposed model was done through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results showed a rather good fitting of the model with the data. The variables such as ethical leadership, transformational leadership, ethical climate, and organizational justice influenced the organizational spirituality. On the other hand, the organizational spirituality had effects on variables such as psychological empowerment, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behavior, self-actualization and the organization-based self-esteem. Moreover, through organizational spirituality, the variables including ethical leadership, transformational leadership, ethical climate, and organizational justice indirectly affected the following variables: psychological empowerment, job satisfaction, emotional commitment, organizational citizen behavior, self-actualization, organization-based self-esteem.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between psychological empowerment and job performance with the mediating role of job attitudes.The statistical population were the employees of Marun Oil & Gas Producing Company, Ahvaz. Among them 216 employees were selected via stratified random sampling. The research instruments consisted of the psychological empowerment questionnaire, the counterproductive behavior questionnaire, the organizational citizenship behavior questionnaire, the in-role behavior questionnaire, the job Satisfaction questionnaire and the affective commitment questionnaire. A simple correlation method was employed for the simple hypothesis and a bootstrap was employed in order to test the mediating hypotheses using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on Amos 20 and SPSS 16. The results showed that the model was fit with the data. There was a positive relationship between psychological empowerment and job satisfaction, affective commitment, IRB and OCB and a negative relationship with counterproductive behavior. The results also indicate that affective commitment mediated the relationship between psychological empowerment and organizational citizenship behavior, and the relationship with psychological empowerment and in-role behavior, but only job satisfaction mediated the relationship between psychological empowerment and organizational citizenship behavior. Thus, it can be concluded that psychological empowerment has a positive effect on job attitudes, and conclusively on job performance.

The purpose of this study was to examine the casual relationship of psychological capital with positive emotions, psychological well-being, job performance and job engagement. The participants of this study were 263 nurses of public hospitals (228 females; 35 males) in Shiraz. Participants completed Psychological Capital, Task Performance, Organizational Citizenship Behavior, Job Engagement, Psychological Well-being and Positive Emotions Questionnaires. Structural equation modeling (SEM) through AMOS-18 and SPSS-18 software packages was used for data analysis. Results showed that the overall model fit indices were relatively good. Better fit were obtained by linking the errors of 2 paths. Psychological capital was related positively to psychological well-being, positive emotions, job performance and job engagement and positive emotions was related positively to psychological well-being as well. In addition, positive emotions mediated the relationship between psychological capital and psychological well-being.
