This article aims to assess the efficacy of welfare services and offer recommendations to managem​ent regarding their areas of improvement.The research methodology employed a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches. Quantitative data have been collected by questionnaire survey and qualitative data by in-depth interview. The sample size for the survey research was comprised of 384 individuals, who were clients and service recipients of welfare services in Tehran and comprised the statistical population. The in-depth interview was attended by fifteen senior managers and specialists.The results indicated that welfare services achieved success solely in their non-professional domains; their professional endeavors were primarily hindered by inadequate funding, insufficient expertise and specialization, and inadequate knowledge. The performance analysis of welfare services using the performance-importance analysis model showed that the four areas of professional activity of them are in the waste of resources unit and require their transfer to the optimal performance sector.Welfare service-providing NGOs in Tehran have not achieved success. This requires the restoration of three parts of the process through the way they interact with the government; content is through specialization; performance improvement; and development with periodic evaluations

Disability is an important social phenomenon in today’s society. Disabled people face many problems in interpersonal relationships, family, work, education and emotional behavioral areas.

The many changes in the instructions, the stability of the project costs at the same time as the sharp increase in costs, and the late notification of the project and the loss of golden time are among the criticisms of the project. Suggestions such the continuation of the thematic comprehensive plan, the positive discrimination plan and ideas such as the city and society supporting the disabled and awareness of the rights of the disabled and the right to education have been presented.

This study delves into the intricate dynamics among psychological capital, well-being, job engagement, and sustainable job performance within Melli Bank branches in Tehran. Employing a correlational research method, 350 managers and employees were selected through convenience sampling. Data were gathered using Koopmans et al.'s Sustainable Job Performance Questionnaire (2013), Luthans' Psychological Capital Questionnaire (2007), Tennant et al.'s Mental Well-being Questionnaire (2007), and Salonava and Shoufeli's Job Engagement Questionnaire (2001).

In the present study, separate findings of research conducted in the field of social welfare in four specialized quarterly journals in the field of social welfare from 2005 to 2017 were combined and compared.

The present study is a systematic review with meta-analysis. The materials included all the articles during the years 2005 to 2017 in specialized social welfare journals, in Iran. Articles with the keyword of well-being or one of the well-being indicators based on the Legatum Institute were searched. Based on the entry and exit criteria, the articles were screened in several stages and finally 46 articles from among  the articles were selected to be examined for systematic review and meta-analysis. The data were analyzed using Stata software by performing meta-analysis (fixed and random model).

Nearly 84% of the research studies made the individual the unit of analysis, which indicates that the holistic approach is neglected in the sociological studies of social welfare. Among the examined indicators, the most common frequency (10 studies) was related to security. The second was the "health" index and the third component was "quality of life". Finally, the concept of social capital as the most frequent variable in the factors affecting social well-being had the highest frequency.

One of the weaknesses of welfare studies is the lack of research with composite indices of welfare. By integrating different aspects of social welfare, composite indicators provide the possibility of more comprehensive and integrated analyzes and are less likely to fall into the trap of reductionism.

This study was administrated to compare parental values, satisfaction, and psychological well-being in parents living in Tehran. The research method is descriptive and causal-comparative. The participants included, 447 parents (225 mothers and 222 fathers) who were selected by convenience from different regions of Tehran (north, south, center, east, and west) and categorized into different disadvantaged, average and relatively prosperous based on perceived welfare in the neighborhood. Assessment tools included the Adult Goals and Values Questionnaire with internal consistency in the range of .60-.94, (Suizo, 2007), the WHO Well-being Index ) with internal consistency in the range of .92-.94, and the Kansas Parental Satisfaction Scale (James et al., 1985) with Cronbach's alpha in the range of .82-.85. The results of MANOVA showed that three groups of parents residing in disadvantaged, average, and relatively prosperous regions had significant differences in the values of tradition and conformity, power and achievement, related to others, generosity and benevolence, separateness, and parental satisfaction, but had no significant difference in psychological well-being (p < .01). The results also showed that parents living in relatively prosperous regions were more likely to nurture values of conformity, achievement, benevolence, and separateness. They had higher parental satisfaction, and parents living in disadvantaged regions focused on religious values in their children. The perceived level of economic affordability of families can be considered one of the factors affecting the prioritization of parenting values and parental satisfaction with parenthood.

The importance of social capital in creating happiness has led to various researches and studies around the world, including Iran, from which often contradictory results are obtained. Given such circumstances, re-research in this field, on the one hand, increases the inflation of research and data, and on the other hand, strengthens the perception of social research as vague, unproductive and even impractical research. It is necessary to re-examine and analyze all the researches in the form of meta-analysis. In this way, we first reached 49 studies by considering the criteria that were in accordance with the input criteria, and after a more detailed study and considering the exit criteria, 31 studies were selected for this research by meta-analysis method. The results of this study in the field of the relationship between social capital and happiness showed a significant relationship between these two variables and the extent of this relationship according to Cohen’s interpretive system is moderately high. The results also showed that social capital has a different effect on happiness by adjusting the four variables of “dimensions of social capital”, “unit of analysis”, “field of study of researchers” and “geographical area of research”.

Considering the failure of the objective approach in measuring youth well-being and the discourse turn of social policy towards subjective well-being, the present article, after conceptualizing subjective well-being, evaluates its situation among Iranian youth.

The present article is a quantitative secondary analysis of the data of the "National Survey of the Social, Cultural and Moral Status of Iranian Society" (2016) among young people aged 18 to 29 living throughout the country.

Firstly, the subjective welfare of young people in many components is unfavorable. Second, the subjective welfare of young people is more unfavorable than other age groups; compared to others (30-49 years, 50 years and older), Iranian youth value higher preference, such as wealth, position, and fame; they have less belief in the existence of judicial and professional justice; they also have a more negative assessment of the welfare of society; they Evaluate the life situation in the past as more negative and the future situation as more positive; they feel less freedom, happiness, security, and national belonging; they have less belief in the prevalence of legalism and the realization of citizenship in society; finallu, they agree with a fundamental change in the current state of society.

The findings indicate that although the low level of subjective welfare among young people is a pervasive pattern with other age groups, but its lower level compared to others indicates an unfavorable state of subjective welfare in this group.

Drawing on the overlap between concepts of wellbeing and motivation, based on motivonia, human motivation is derived by the wellbeing experienced in the past, present, and well-willing (desired future wellbeing). Due to the long-term procedure of learning a foreign language and the necessity of intended effort and maintaining motivated behaviour, this study investigated the effect of wellbeing and well-willing as two main motivonic factors on English language learners’ intended effort, and probed the impact of English learning wellbeing on learners’ general wellbeing.

The data were collected during the autumn in 2019, through a self-developed quatitative questionnaire entailing 38 Likert-type scales and some demographic items from 193 students of Islamic Azad University of Islamshahr and six secondary schools in Baharestan county, who were attending private language courses as well. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression and Pearson correlation tests via SPSS version 26.

The results revealed that the learners’ L2 engaging wellbeing (adjusted R2 = .65, p < .01) and well-willing (adjusted R2 = .34, p < .01) had positive significant effects on their willingness to devote future efforts to learn English. Moreover, the learners’ English learning wellbeing (adjusted R2 = .28, p < .01), but not well-willing, indicated significant effect on their global wellbeing.

The results, in line with motivonia, indicated that policy-makers of wellbeing and education, should consider the ultimate end of any motivational engagement in the direction of promoting wellbeing, and take necessary steps to form and improve well-willing and wellbeing-oriated education in order to enhance motivated behaviour among learners of English.

Most psychologists believe that happiness is having too much of pleasant emotions and too less of unpleasant ones, but according to Aristotle, humans are happy if they have the emotions that they want to have, even if those emotions are unpleasant. With the purpose of examining this theory of Aristotle, the present study tested the hypothesis that the discrepancy between the emotions that the individual have and the emotions that he wants to have, has a positive correlation with depression and a negative correlation with well-being. In a correlational design, a call for participation in this study was sent to 30,000 subscribers of the Hamrahe Avval and Irancell in Tehran, and 1410 (564 men) people with an average age of 26 years participated in the study. The research tools were a researcher-made questionnaire to measure the desired and experienced emotions, the Center of Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale. Correlation and regression analyses showed that the absolute discrepancy between desired and experienced emotions (which showed that how much each participant has experienced his/her desired emotions), can predict more depression and less well being, even in participants that experienced more pleasant and less unpleasant emotions than they desired, and even after statistically controlling experienced emotions. Therefore, happiness is not just the pleasant emotions, but any emotion, if desired, can increase our happiness.

 The results showed that these variables of social support, emotional dimension of social support, instrumental dimension of social support and information dimension of social support have a significant
relationship with the dependent variable of research, social health. Using Amos25 software and drawing the model, the amount of dependent variable changes was explained by independent variables

In recent years, the tendency to emigrate among Iranians has greatly expanded. Therefore, in this study, employing the framework of Motivonia (motivational wellbeing) as a new theoretical perspective in the field of wellbeing, the effect of wellbeing and well-willing among English language learners on their desire to emigrate has been investigated. Through convenient sampling, 193 English language learners  entered the study. The learners were either English students of the Islamic Azad University of Islamshahr or pupils of six secondary schools of Baharestan County who were attending English courses in private language institutes along with their school English courses. The data were collected via a self-developed questionnaire in the period from October to the end of December 2019. The results of multiple linear regression indicated that the learners’ L2-domain engaging wellbeing, desire to improve their future wellbeing (as an indicator of well-willing), and two dimensions of general wellbeing (i.e. social relationships and psychological wellbeing) had significant effects on their desire to emigrate. Thus, in order to prevent the emigration of human capital, the government can turn the Iranian view of promoting wellbeing within the borders through fact-based policies.
