The puppose of this research is identification of the impact of Organizational Culture Factors and Organizational Structure Factors on Whistle-Blowing. We used mixed method. At first stage, we used qualitative method; so, we used Delphi Technic and finally, by reaching consensus comments, we found 21 items with 0/441 Coefficient of agreement. Then, in the second stage, we use quantitative approach; in this way, based on finding in Delphi Technic, we produced a questionaire and appraised validity of that by CVI and CVR measures. They were confirmed. Thereupon, for appraising reliability, we used Cronbach's alpha. This amount was 0/802. Therefore, we distributed the questionaire in target population, 274 number of them were completed by nurses and doctors and administrative personnel in Alzahra Hospital in Isfahan. Finally, we used Structural Equation Modeling for desinging model. Finding showed overall fitness of model is good and the impact of both factors: structural factor and cultural factor are meaningfull.

Education system and all the employees are responsible to educate all the students who will have social responsibilities in the society in future. Education (system) is one the mail sources to develop social and business aspects. This organ needs to have strong leaders to be competitive advantage. this study, as a matter of goal or purpose, is an applied research and the way of collecting the data is descriptive and in the form of correlation; and clearly based on the structural equation model (SEM).in this research, firstly the theoretical model and the theories between the variables were developed and for surveying the research theories the structural equation was used. The employees of department of Education in Zanjan province are the statistical population (198 persons). Therefore, for this research, 139 persons are picked based on the Morgan table using random sampling. A questionnaire was used to collect the data and using LISREL18 software was analyzed. Researches show that authentic leadership with (0.370) depth, and trust on psychological capital with (0.440) depth has positive and expressive effects. Likewise, authentic leadership on psychological contract breach with (-0.350) depth, trust on psychological contract breach with (-0.420) depth, psychological contract breach on psychological capital with (-0.330), and authentic leadership on psychological capital with (-0.60) depth have negative effects.

This research is investigate the influence of spiritual intelligence on the individual performance in accordance with creativity, innovation and mental health as mediators. The research method used is Quantitative, applied and descriptive.

A combined and standard questionnaire is used as data collection tool. Structural Equation Modeling with partial least squares method through Warp PLS software has been used data analyzing. According to research findings spiritual intelligence has significant influence on Innovation, creativity and performance. In addition, among studied mediating variable only creativity had significant influence on individual performance.
