Psychological well-being is one of the key issues in improving people's behaviors and attitudes. Psychological well-being is the ability to actively participate in work, play, create meaningful relationships with others, develop a sense of autonomy and purpose in life, and experience positive emotions. One of the most important resources of any organization is the human force of that organization, and psychological well-being is one of the key issues in improving the behaviors and attitudes of people. It has caused that nowadays proper use of education in virtual space is not seen much. The efficiency of professors is one of the few characteristics of a professor that depends on the success of students. On the other hand, organizations have a major impact on society; Therefore, their activity should be such that they maximize the positive effects of their activities and minimize the negative effects, and as the most influential member of society, they are concerned about the long-term needs and desires of the society and in order to solve Try to solve its problems. This means that today's organizations must recognize and accept their organizational health. Organizational health is the durability and survival of the organization in its environment and adaptability to it and its expansion and promotion and its ability to compromise more, or organizational health is for its survival, and an organization that is healthy is successful against external destructive forces. interacts with them and directs their energy in an effective way towards the main goals of the organization and in the long run they show the signs of a healthy organization; Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between psychological well-being and dimensions of organizational health in university professors.
Methods: The current research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive and correlational in terms of method, which was carried out in the field. The statistical population of this research includes all professors of Islamic Azad University, Tafarsh branch, who were working in 1401. The number of the statistical population was 360 people according to the inquiry from the recruitment of Islamic Azad University. According to the table of Karjesi and Morgan, 186 people were selected through a simple random sampling method. To evaluate organizational health, Hoy and Feldman's organizational health questionnaire (1996) was used. The mentioned questionnaire was prepared for the first time by Hoy et al. and it has 44 items and three levels (technical, administrative, and institutional) in 7 dimensions morale, scientific emphasis, compliance (consideration), constructiveness, resource support, manager's influence, institutional unity. This questionnaire is graded with a 5-point Likert scale. Each question is scored from one to five (never 1 point, rarely 2 points, sometimes 3 points, often 4 points, always 5 points). It has 44 items that are completed by employees. Employees are asked. To score the descriptive items to the extent that they apply to organizations along a five-point Likert scale. The way of scoring is that in the organizational health questionnaire, questions 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, and 30 are scored inversely because of the negative impact on the dimensions of organizational health. In order to check psychological well-being, Rief's questionnaire (1980) was used. This questionnaire examines psychological well-being in 18 questions, which examines the dimensions of self-acceptance, environmental mastery, positive relationship with others, having a purpose in life, personal growth, and independence. Questionnaire questions are designed based on a five-point Likert scale (completely agree to completely disagree). The reliability of this questionnaire was found to be 0.87 in the research of Fotiadis et al. (2019). In the current research, the reliability of this questionnaire was determined to be 0.82. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the demographic variables and SPSS software was used to check the research hypotheses.
Results: The research findings show that the significance level of organizational health and psychological well-being variables (Sig=0.000) is smaller than the predicted error value (α=0.05), so the relationship between the variables is statistically significant. And since the calculated correlation coefficient is equal to 0.585, it can be concluded that there is a direct and meaningful relationship between organizational health and the psychological well-being of professors.
Conclusion: The Department of Education is one of the most basic and important organizations in the world today, and most people have direct and indirect relations with this organization, and this indicates the key and vital role of this department in the complex life of humans. Knowledge of organizational health can facilitate and predict the quality and continuity of the health system, and it can lead to the implementation of programs in a scientific and expert manner and avoid imprudent actions. Organizational health refers to an environment that facilitates the growth and development of an organization and enables the achievement of goals. Organizations, while thinking about their preservation and survival, should take a step beyond this view and pay attention to their consequences and effects on society. They consider optimism as one of the important factors in increasing performance in organizations and state that psychological well-being has a strong relationship with knowledge management in organizations and employees. By strengthening psychological well-being, progress is achieved and it increases the spirit of participation in the employees of the organization, which causes the organizational improvement of the employees. Undoubtedly, psychological issues play an important role in the formation process of organizational health and psychological well-being, but environmental aspects, including training in virtual and scientific environments, can provide the conditions for improving organizational health and psychological well-being by creating an environmental platform. This issue shows that education can provide conditions for teachers to exploit individual aspects in the way of improving organizational health and psychological well-being. The results of the research showed that there is a significant relationship between organizational health and the psychological well-being of professors, and according to the results of this research, it was determined that the contribution of each component of organizational health in predicting the psychological well-being of professors is different.
