Employees' work behavior patterns are associated with their psychological status, especially in the face of work stressors. Among employees with healthy and unhealthy work behavior patterns, the present study aimed to compare psychological disorders and their symptoms in an industrial organization in Mashhad. Through convenience sampling, 144 employees were selected and responded to demographic information questionnaires, work-related behavior and experience patterns questionnaire (AVEM), and Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90). Data analysis was performed using a one-way analysis of variance in SPSS software version 26. The findings indicated that psychological symptoms and disorders were significantly higher in employees with unhealthy work behavior patterns, especially the burnout pattern, than in employees with healthy work behavior patterns. The findings highlight the importance of focusing on the mental health of employees who adopt unhealthy work behavior patterns in the face of occupational stressors. In line with existing research evidence, psychological intervention programs that include training in adopting healthy work behavior patterns and enhancing mental health impact employees' well-being and demand further research. Developing and implementing prevention policies and mental health programs in the workplace in favor of employees' well-being is associated with increased organizational productivity and community welfare.

This study aimed to explore the influence of teachers' sleep quality and self-efficacy on burnout in Iranshahr City. The statistical population for this study comprised all secondary high school teachers in Iranshahr city during the academic year 2023 – 2024. The sample consisted of 118 teachers who were chosen using the convenience sampling method. To gather the data, the job burnout questionnaires developed by Maslach, Jackson, and Leiter (1986), the Petersburg sleep quality questionnaire (1989), and the teacher self-efficacy questionnaire created by Schanen, Moran, and Woolfolk (2001) were utilized. To analyze the data, Pearson correlation and multiple regression were conducted, with all analyses carried out using SPSS software version 24. The results of the Pearson correlation coefficient indicated that emotional exhaustion and depersonalization had a negative correlation with comprehensive involvement, educational strategies, and class management (p<.01), while personal accomplishment showed a notable positive correlation with comprehensive involvement, educational strategies, class management, and sleep quality (p<.01). The overall model accounted for 24.7% of the variance in emotional exhaustion and 11% of the variance in depersonalization. Thorough involvement accounted for 14.5% of the variance in personal accomplishment, while sleep quality explained 9% of the variance in personal accomplishment.

The creativity of employees is a key factor for achieving success in organizations and sustaining their competitive edge. Job burnout and poor organizational health are elements that can either hinder or foster organizational creativity; hence, the current study aimed to explore the predictive influence of components of organizational creativity on job burnout and the organizational health of high school educators. The study utilized a correlation-predictive research design. The study population consisted of all educators teaching in high schools in Zahedan City, Iran, during the academic year 2024-2025. From the aforementioned statistical population, a random cluster sampling method was used to select a sample of 150 teachers. To gather the data, Amabile's Organizational Creativity Questionnaire (2001), Maslach and Jackson's Burnout Questionnaire (1981), and Hoy and Feldman's Organizational Health Questionnaire (1996) were employed, and the data of this research were examined using Pearson's correlation test and stepwise regression through SPSS version 16 software. The correlation findings indicated a notable negative connection between the components of creativity (fluidity, flexibility, innovation, and expansion) and burnout, as well as a significant positive connection with organizational health (P<0.05). The regression analysis results indicated that within the organizational creativity elements, the innovation element displayed a predictive impact (Beta=-0.23) on burnout, while the expansion element exhibited a predictive influence (Beta=0.34) on organizational health (P<0.05). Consequently, due to the impact of organizational creativity on lowering burnout and enhancing organizational well-being, it is advised that practitioners focus closely on the creativity of teachers.

The aim of the current research was to examine how stress coping strategies predict quality of life and life satisfaction among staff at Sistan and Baluchestan University. A total of 94 employees from the University of Sistan and Baluchestan, Iran were chosen using a simple sampling method. To gather data, the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) by Endler & Parker (1990a), Huebner's Life Satisfaction Scale (1994), and the WHOQOL BREF Quality of Life Questionnaire were utilized. The data was analyzed using Pearson and multiple stepwise regression. The findings indicated a significant negative correlation between the avoidant approach to stress management and quality of life (r=.243, p<.01), whereas the problem-focused and emotion-focused strategies did not show a significant link with quality of life and satisfaction with life. The avoidant coping style accounted for 5.9% of the variance in quality of life. The other coping styles were excluded from the regression and did not make it into the regression equation. Avoidant style (Beta=.525, p=.0001) exhibited a negative and significant relationship with quality of life. It is determined that avoidant-oriented coping was a negative unique predictor of the employees' quality of life.
