The purpose of the present study is to compare public health and well-being of the participants in morning workout routines compared to nonactive people. Statistical population of the research consisted of the participants in morning workout stations as well as those who were not active in the city of Tehran. Using random sampling, 200 participants active in morning workout routines and 200 people who were not active were chosen as the sample of study. Standard questionnaire of public health (GHQ-28) was used to measure four microscales (physical health, anxiety and sleep disorder, social function, and depression). Validity of the questionnaire has already been assessed in more than 70 countries in the world (R=0.82 -0.92). For research hypothesis testing, Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman correlation coefficient test (p≤0.05) were used. The research results showed that physical health condition of those participating in morning workout routines (M=2.8±2.2) outperforms those who are nonactive (M=5.3±3.6) and they have less anxiety and sleep disorder (M=3.4±2.3) than those who are not active (M=8.6±3.7). Social function condition of those participating in morning workout routines ((M=3.3±2.9) was better than nonactive people (M=6.3±3); depression condition of those participating in morning workout routines (M=1.5±1.2) was also less than those who were nonactive (M=5.4±3.3) and all these results were meaningful at P≤0.01. There was a significant relation between public health and well-being of those participating in morning workout and the time duration of their exercise (r=0.64). Therefore, it can be said that the public health condition (all indices) of those who are active in morning workout routines is better than that of nonactive people and whatever the time duration of exercising increases, there is a more chance of people’s public health and well-being.

The purpose of the present study is to determine the relationship between the creativity and power of the staff in the administration of sport and youth in the province of Qom. Statistical population of the research consisted of all 82 staff members in the administration of sport and youth in the province of Qom. Total population sampling was used so all the employees in the administration were chosen as the statistical population of the research. The measur1ement tools included some standard questionnaires including Rendsip’s creativity questionnaire (1979) and Spritzer empowerment questionnaire (1995). The validity of the questionnaires was confirmed by the experts and their reliability was also approved with reference to the studies mentioned in the methodology section. The creativity questionnaire consisted of 50 questions and the empowerment questionnaire contained 12 questions and 4 scales of meaningfulness, competency, freedom of choice, and effectiveness. For the analysis of the data, the descriptive and inferential statistics were used: standard deviation average for descriptive statistics and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Spearman correlation test, and Pearson correlation tests (0.05) for inferential statistics. For data analysis, SPSS.20 software was used and the results showed that there is a positive and significant correlation between creativity and empowerment features of the staff members of the administration of sport and youth (r: 0.24 p: 0.05). Also, a positive and significant correlation was observed between their creativity and competency (r: 0.23 p: 0.05).  However, there is no relation between creativity and the scales of meaningfulness (r: 0.21 p: 0.09), freedom of choice (r: 0.21 p: 0.08), and effectiveness (r: 0.14 p: 0.24). It seems that the managers by paying attention to the power and competency of the staff members, can foster their creativity and pave the ground for the development and betterment of the workplace.

The purpose of the present research is the comparative study of the occupational motivation of the physical education and health staff in the armed forces based on Herzberg theory.  The method of study is descriptive and the research population included all the staff members working in the domain of track and field and Handball in the armed forces. All 33 members in the research population were chosen as the research sample. For data collection, two research-made questionnaires of personal information and a specialized questionnaire for setting motivational-sanitary priorities were used. The questionnaires were given to relevant experts for validation and also the reliability was measured by Cronbach’s alpha statistical method to be 0.88. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Spearman correlation coefficient, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and independent t test. The results of the research indicate that in both track-and-field and Handball sports, commitment and responsibility in the workplace are of the highest occupational motivation. In terms of sanitation, the way of communication to others in the sport of track and field as well as occupational supervision in the sport of handball were among the most important cases while income and job security had the lowest sanitation priority. There was a correlation between motivational and sanitary factors in the significant level of 0.01 and a negative correlation of 0.05 was observed between education and sanitary and motivational factors at work. There was no significant difference between motivational factors in the sports of track and field and handball in the armed forces whereas a significant difference in the level of 0.05 was observed between sanitary factors in those two sport fields.

The purpose of the present study is to review the effect of job enrichment on the glass rock with the intervention of female empowerment. This research is descriptive-correlational which has been conducted through a survey method. Statistical population of the research involved all the women working in the ministry of sport and youth, among whom 280 staff members were chosen as the research sample. For data collection, three standardized questionnaires including Glass Rock questionnaire by Nasiri & et al., Hackman and Oldham's job enrichment questionnaire, and finally, Spritzer's questionnaire of staff psychological empowerment were used to investigate the intervention variable. The results showed that job empowerment in women makes the glass rock collapse. Coefficient factors of job empowerment by female empowerment and female empowerment by glass rock was 0.23 and -0.21 respectively. Moreover, determination coefficient factors showed that two variables if job enrichment and empowerment predict almost 0.38 of the changes of the glass rock collapse. Therefore, for optimal effectiveness in organizations, obstacles of women's improvement should be moderated and empowerment strategies should be executed in the organizations.
