The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between psychological capital and knowledge sharing and innovative work behavior with the mediation of job engagement in South East Khuzestan Water Company. The statistical population of this research included 200 employees of South East Khuzestan Water Company in 1401, who were selected by random sampling. Data were collected through psychological capital questionnaire (Luthans et al., 2007), knowledge sharing questionnaire (Huy et al., 2010), innovative work behavior questionnaire (De Jong & Den Hartog, 2010) and job engagement scale (Schaufeli et al., 2001) data collection and analysis was done with the help of structural equation modeling method and using SPSS-24 and AMOS-24 software. The results showed that the proposed model had a relatively good fit with the data. The findings indicated a direct and significant relationship between psychological capital and knowledge sharing, innovative work behavior and job engagement. In addition, there was a positive and significant relationship between knowledge sharing and job engagement, as well as innovative work behavior and job enthusiasm. The results of the indirect paths showed that job engagement has a positive and significant effect on the relationship between psychological capital and knowledge sharing and on the relationship between psychological capital and innovative work behavior. Therefore, by strengthening the psychological capitals (resilience, self-efficacy, hope and optimism) in employees, job engagement will also increase, and then we will witness innovative work behaviors and knowledge sharing in the workplace.The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between psychological capital and knowledge sharing and innovative work behavior with the mediation of job engagement in South East Khuzestan Water Company.

Humans can find personal significance through work, and so work can be considered as the foundation and center of human life. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate how the proactive personality and personal and organizational spirituality of nurses can improve the perception of meaningful work and job engagement. The method of this research was descriptive-correlational type. The statistical population of the study consisted of all nurses working in Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences in 2019, which 270 of them were selected by cluster random sampling. Questionnaires of individual and organizational spirituality, proactive personality, meaning of work and job engagement were used to collect data. After confirming reliability and validity of research tool, data were analyzed using Lisrel 8.8 software and by structural equation modeling approach. Findings indicate that although individual spirituality does not enhance nurses' experiences of meaningful work, this construct, together with variables of organizational spirituality and proactive personality, can be considered as antecedents of job engagement. Finally, the evidence confirms the relative mediating role of meaning of work in the relationship between these three constructs with job engagement in the study population.

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.
