Data reliability and validity were assessed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and consulting managers of Sepah Bank as experts, and the result was confirmed using confirmatory factor analysis technique.

Organizational commitment as one of the important organizational variables can be influenced by leadership styles and their behavior. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of ethical leadership on different dimensions of organizational commitment. Thus, we first described ethical leadership and organizational commitment and their dimensions. Then, by reviewing the literature we proposed some hypothesis to investigate the effects of the dimensions of ethical leadership on organizational commitment. Next, we collected data from the target community. Then, by using exploratory factor analysis we examined dimensions of ethical leadership and organizational commitment that it was determined three dimensions for each variable. Dimensions of ethical leadership includes morality and fairness, role clarification and power sharing and dimensions of organizational commitment are affective commitment, continuance commitment and normative commitment. Then by using confirmatory factor analysis and AMOS software we examined the hypothesis. The results show that role clarification is effective only on affective commitment. Morality and fairness are effective on affective and normative commitment. Power sharing has an impact on all three dimensions of organizational commitment.

Organizational Deviance and misbehavior or the dark side of organizational behavior has been a matter of research during the last two decades. Social undermining is an interpersonal insidious misbehavior and is significantly associated with employee's outcomes if it continues over time. The effects of social undermining on employee's commitment and job involvement were tested among employees of Iran's presidential center for innovation and technology cooperation. The data gathered by distribution of questionnaire among 158 employees using random sampling method. Results show that social undermining by coworkers and supervisors has considerable effects on employee's job involvement and affective and normative commitment, but as predicted, not on continuous commitment. Moreover, based on fairness theory, the hypothesis of the mediating role of conscientiousness in the effects of social undermining on job involvement and organizational commitment was developed and tested. It is advised that organizations should consider preventing actions, training and counseling employees to minimize social undermining behavior and its consequences on employee's outcomes.

The purpose of this study was "Relationship between psychological empowerment and Effective factors of the productivity of human resources. This study was a descriptive study that was conducted in manner correlation and the type of target, was applications And the survey was used for gathering data. all facilities department staff of different branches of Bank Melli of Mash’had were chosen randomly as the sample. The data were collected by the Spreitzer’s standard psychological empowerment questionnaire with a 92% reliability coefficient as well as the Goldsmith’s Effective factors of productivity of human resources standard questionnaire with a 93% reliability coefficient. The data were also analyzed by the Pearson’s correlation test, linear regression analysis, and T-test. The results show that psychological empowerment and Effective factors of productivity of human resources have a positive and significant relation (52%) and based on the findings, the psychological empowerment predicts a 30% of productivity for human resources among the staff. As can be suggested by the results, the factor impact as one of the psychological empowerment components with a b=46% has the most meaningful effect on the Effective factors of productivity of human resources with a 5% level. The positive coefficient suggests that the higher the factor, the higher the productivity for human resources. It is recommended that organizations apply the different methods for the psychological empowerment creation and reinforcement to improve the productivity of human resources and ultimately the organizational productivity.
