The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by experts. Also reliability using Cronbach's alpha (a=0.86) was confirmed in the interviews and analyzing the data to identify the components and challenges in the navigation through the views and opinions of coding and saturation using spss software. The descriptive statistics of tables, relative frequency, mean and standard deviation and inferential statistical methods for prioritization and the Friedman ANOVA and Scheffe post hoc test were used for comparison of elite opinion.

The population of the study (N=463) included all employees in Youth and Sport offices of North and Razavi Khorasan provinces, out of which150 employees selected by random cluster sampling. After confirmed the questionnaires validity and reliability, the data was collected with 4 questionnaires include, demographic characteristic, psychological empowerment (Spritzer, 1995), job satisfaction, the Michigan Organizational Assessment (Cammann, Fichman, Jenkins, & Klesh, 1997) and the internal service quality (Di Xi, 2005). Spearman correlation, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were utilized to analyze the data. Findings indicated that psychological empowerment has a direct effect on job satisfaction. Psychological empowerment has a direct and indirect effect on internal service quality. Also, job satisfaction has a direct effect on internal service quality. The section of total effect indicated that the most effect on internal service quality was related to psychological empowerment. Endogenous variables R2 indicated that %35 of internal service quality variance identified by psychological and %13 of internal service quality variance identified by job satisfaction. Also, the Model showed a relatively favorable fit to the data.

The most complex and ambiguous relationship is the one which exists between a Couple (a husband and a wife). Therefore, to achieve the information about is very difficult and may be impossible in some circumstances. This study was to review a set of factors affecting the divorce systematically. So, all researches and study factors related to divorce were gathered and finally, 23 studies chosen to "Systematic Review". Total sample size of the study population was over 577957 people among the divorced couple that could cause results to be valid any more. There are some theories such as the same theory of wife swapping, network and social stratification and common feature-almost-in all of the studies on divorce in Iran. Take the divorce on the map indicates the extent and causes of divorce based on different cultural and social differences. A unique feature of this study is to identify the models used in the studies on divorce and provide a "Hybrid Theory".

Given the importance of emotional intelligence in marital relationships, this is a meta-analysis of 16 studies on the relationship between emotional intelligence and marital satisfaction. Using these meta-analysis techniques to integrate the results of different studies, the effect size of the relationship between emotional intelligence and marital satisfaction is identified. For this purpose, among 30 studies, 16 studies which were acceptable in terms of methodological and metaanalysis was performed on them. The research instrument was meta-analysis checklist. This study includes 3994 subjective and 16 effect size. Research findings show that emotional intelligence relationship with marital relationship (r=0.23) (p=0.00001). Evaluated according to Cohentable effect size is low. So, along with emotional intelligence in marital satisfaction following variables must also be strong.

The research is to study the sociological explanations of effective elements (attitude to citizenship: understanding, participation, legal, normative, client, organizational and contingency) on youth attitude of Tehran city to Discursive citizenship. Based on discursive citizenship theory of Jurgen Habermas in theoretical model frame of discursive citizenship, the path of hypothesis of research and related hypothesis to citizenship attitude, is considered. Therefore in the methodology of the research based on traversal method among of youth population 18 years of Tehran city with the help of cochran formula, the sample size is determined with the rate of 723 individual, but for more generalization 337 individual is added and the total of sample is in form of cluster sampling and accidental. Therefore, by using of questionnaire directed, the needed data were gathered and by using software (SPSS) it was processed. Finally, Pierson correlation coefficient (r) is observed and meaningful relation among dependent variable (attitude of discursive citizenship) with dependent variable (attitude to citizenship: Legal, normative, client, organization and contingency). In the meantime, it has shown meaningful difference between dependent variable (attitude to discursive citizenship) and some filed variables (sex, marital status, occupation status, housing ownership and residential district), but some of field variables (vehicle, type of occupation, education, income and dimension of the family) has shown no meaningful relation. The result of Goodness of fit of research variables for assessment of validity rate and validity of items of questionnaire with amount of Cronbach’s alpha (0.98) is determined. Also for more accurate Goodness of fit of research variables, we use factor analysis which its rate in result of text KMO=0.98 and approximate test of sphericity BTS with Chisquare (x2) is equal 2.929 at the meaningful level and shows that data matrix is meaningful and there is at least necessary conditions for fulfilling factor analysis at related data matrix to all main variables. In continuous of Goodness of fit of theoretical model of research, it is used multiple regression testing and path analysis, in which based on total of direct and indirect effects of plain variables, from most powerful and largest effect of attitude of discursive citizenship of youth of Tehran, we can reach to attitude of organizational citizenship with the coefficient (0.468) and normative citizenship with the coefficient (0.241) and contingency citizenship with coefficient (0.181) which are elements that have directs effects of attitude variable of discursive citizenship. The rest of independent variables of citizenship attitude and field which are in the indirect or hidden have effect and refers on the discursive citizenship attitude of Tehran city youth. The results of findings of this research show that the attitude of youth of Tehran city to discursive citizenship is not on a positive status and even show a critical status.
