The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the amount of graduate students' skills in searching methods, using softwares, accessing and restoring the information retrieved from electronic resources. The research method was a descriptive survey and the statistical population of the study comprised of all graduate students of the university of Isfahan, 4035 students, in 2008-2009 academic years. The statistical sample was calculated to be 380 individuals based on the kergsy and Morgan table and using random clustered sampling method. The data collection was done through a researcher made questionnaire, containing three parts with the reliability and validity of 0.84 and 0.85, respectively. The first part of the questionnaire was devoted to personal information while the second part addressed the assessment of skills in information searching methods and the third part referred to using softwares, accessing and restoring information. For analyzing the data the statistical methods of correlation coefficient and one-variable t-test were used. The observed t was higher than the critical t value of the table at a=0.05 level which disclosed that graduate students with the average of 3.42 (higher than the average level of 3) possess the skills related to searching in electronic databases. Considering the skills of using softwares, accessing and restoring information, the observed t was lower than the critical t value of the table at a=0.05 level, which resulted in acquiring the average of 3 (equal to the average level of 3) and indicated that graduate students have an average of these skills. The observed r, with the value of 0.20 at p≤0.05, revealed a meaningful positive correlation between students' skills in information retrieval from electronic databases and their research success.

Also there was a relationship between Time Management and the all components of Emotional Intelligence (Self-awareness, Self-regulation, Self-motivation, Sympathy and Social skills) with correlation coeifficents (r=0/276), (r=0/226), (r=0/281), (r=0/260), (r=0/214) at the level of P£0/05.

As job satisfaction maintenance and its promotion always are as determinant factors for organizations, so this research is performed with the purpose of examining the effect of vacation and the kinds of holidays (i.e., national and religious) on job satisfaction in Khuzestan province in 1388. this research was performed by applying survey plan and about 330 employers from 6 organizations participated and two sampling methods such as Base on Purpose (for vacation) and Multistage Cluster (for holidays) were also employed. Then, according to 5 hypotheses considered in this research, a standard questionnaire that evaluated job satisfaction before and after vacation and holidays were distributed among the participants. The data were analyzed by applying T-test of dependent and independent groups, ANOVA and correlation. vacation, religious and national holidays (i.e., joyful) did not have any effect on job satisfaction, but in religious holidays (Tassoa and Ashora) the job satisfaction in employers increased, as after vacation, and their views toward work improved. vacation did not have any effect on increasing the job satisfaction but lacking of this opportunity or its low quality could lead to work force dissatisfaction and resulted in bringing about difficulties for organizations (Herzburg Theory).
