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.

Purpose: Given the importance of employee innovation in the performance of advertising organizations, this study seeks to examine the effect of social support (family and work) on women's innovative work behavior with the mediating role of work-family conflict. The answer to the question can help to a better understanding of this issue.Methodology: This study was a descriptive/survey in terms of the data collection method and applied in terms of purpose. A questionnaire containing 53 questions was designed by the standard measures of previous studies and randomly distributed among 568 female employees in advertising companies in the two metropolises of Iran to collect data. Then, the structural equation model and the software of Amos software and SPSS were used to analyze the data and test the assumptions of the relationship between the conceptual model.Findings: The hypothesis test showed that work-family conflict mediates the relationship between social support (family and work) and repetitive thought. The role of moderating of repetitive thought in the relationship between work-family conflict and innovative work behavior was also demonstrated. Besides, the research findings indicate the negative impact of social support (family and work) on work-family conflict. Originality: Innovative work behavior has been studied in various researches due to its importance. However, the present study, for the first time, shows how social support can affect innovative work behavior through work family conflict and repetitive thought. Given the importance of employee innovation in the performance of advertising organizations, this study seeks to examine the effect of social support (family and work) on women's innovative work behavior with the mediating role of work-family conflict.
