This study aimed to investigate the relationships between job self-efficacy, sense of coherence, and spiritual well-being among adults with hearing impairments. Specifically, it sought to determine the extent to which sense of coherence and spiritual well-being predict job self-efficacy in this population. A cross-sectional study design was employed, involving 300 adults with hearing impairments. Participants were recruited from rehabilitation centers, support groups, and online platforms. Data were collected using three standardized instruments: the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE), the Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC-13), and the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS). Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted using SPSS-27 to explore the relationships between the variables. The mean job self-efficacy score was 28.56 (SD = 6.43), the mean sense of coherence score was 70.28 (SD = 14.92), and the mean spiritual well-being score was 92.65 (SD = 16.37). Job self-efficacy was significantly correlated with both sense of coherence (r = 0.53, p < 0.01) and spiritual well-being (r = 0.47, p < 0.01). The regression analysis revealed that sense of coherence (β = 0.37, p < 0.001) and spiritual well-being (β = 0.32, p < 0.001) were significant predictors of job self-efficacy, explaining 37% of the variance (F(2, 297) = 87.92, p < 0.001). The study highlights the significant roles of sense of coherence and spiritual well-being in predicting job self-efficacy among adults with hearing impairments. These findings suggest that interventions aimed at enhancing these psychological and spiritual dimensions could effectively support job self-efficacy in this population. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies and explore additional factors that may influence job self-efficacy.

Due to importance of instructor empowering of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Iran, this paper discussed effective challenges and mechanisms. Therefore, by investigating other studies and collecting data from a questionnaire from instructors of Iran’s TVET, key factors of challenges and mechanisms were identified and confirmed by using expert’s opinion. In the next step, the correlation and effectiveness of each factor were analyzed by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). In the SEM, the Standardized Root Mean Square Residual (SRMR) test was used to assess the fit of the proposed model to the investigated data. The obtained results showed that all identified challenges and mechanisms are significant in the 95% level and have the SRMR values 0.095 and 0.048, respectively. Also, the results represented that the most challenges faced to the instructors were limited internet access, software issues, and limited accessibility features. The findings also suggest several mechanisms for strengthening the teacher empowerment system in the context of online education. These mechanisms include training for all, flexible learning options, and development of virtual content. In conclusion, providing training courses for online teachers, creating specific frameworks for online education processes, strategic planning and allocating the required financial resources are among the most important suggestions that can be deduced from this research.

Human resource organization is one of the human resource activities that guides each person towards perfection by finding the path of advancement of each person in his professional life. The aim of the current research was to identify the dimensions and components of the organization of human resources in Kurdistan's education system in order to provide a conceptual model. From the objective point of view, the research is of the "applied" research type; because it seeks to apply knowledge in new situations and develop practical knowledge in a specific field. This research, in terms of how to collect the required data, is classified in the “qualitative research group. In the framework of this research method, in order to know the opinions and ideas of these people in connection with the field of human resource organization In Kurdistan province, 21 of these elites were selected by purposeful sampling and the interview process continued until theoretical saturation was reached. . Paying attention to the family, not paying attention to quality, high costs for obtaining national positions, low special points for group supervisors, giving grades without degrees and certificates, not paying attention to the conditions and working environment, not paying attention to parents' satisfaction, not paying attention to modernization.

Emotions are important in the educational processes, influencing teachers' interactions while trying to teach in real and online classes. Therefore, this study investigated the transitional emotions experienced by English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers as they shifted from real/in-person classroom settings to online teaching, using an emotional geography model. Moreover, we aimed to explore the emotion regulation strategies that they used during their transitioning. Following a descriptive narrative design, we probed the transitional emotions of 10 Iranian EFL teachers while transitioning from real to online classrooms. The findings of the thematic analysis showed five key themes. First, physical geography may enhance cognitive change, resulting in positive emotions. Second, issues with the internet negatively impact classroom quality, leading to negative emotions. Third, situational modifications may help teachers adapt and meet their instructional needs amidst online challenges. Fourth, attentional deployment may serve as a strategy for improving professional geography. Lastly, situation selection and response modulation may aid in the development of moral and socio-cultural geography. These themes illustrate the interconnection between emotion regulation strategies and geographical models of emotions, highlighting their importance in transitioning from real to online teaching. Therefore, we concluded that emotion regulation strategies were helpful in solving the challenges that EFL teachers faced concerning their transitional emotions.

Postmodern literature possesses distinct characteristics that are evident in both its content and form. This research first attempts to identify the postmodern features in a corpus of English postmodern literature and examines their possible translatability across linguistic and cultural barriers. To this end, a corpus of ten English postmodern short stories by Donald Barthelme along with their corresponding translations into Persian was developed. Drawing on the integrative model of analysis developed for this study, the postmodern features in English stories were identified and their corresponding translations were analyzed at various levels. The results of the study indicate a high degree of translatability for postmodern features, as they experienced minimal transformation during the translation process. In fact, the translated stories remained remarkably postmodern, with the preservation of these features to a significant extent. However, it is important to exercise caution when interpreting this high degree of translatability. While translators may consciously strive to maintain these features, it is also possible that postmodern elements, which are predominantly manifested beyond sentence-level structures, may go unnoticed or remain untouched by translators. Additionally, the preservation of postmodern features in translation could be a result of translators' reluctance to intrude upon the creative process.
