Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is the Identification of factors which impact on stress-free work in the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting Organization, conceptual model design and Validation model performance.
Design/ Methodology/ Approach: Qualitative and quantitative approaches have been used to achieve the objectives of the research. In the qualitative part, using fuzzy Delphi method, the effect on stress-free work was identified. In the quantitative part, questionnaires were designed to validate the conceptual model. The sampling method in the qualitative part was non-probability snowball type and in the quantitative part, random sampling in the limited population. Using Cochran's formula, the sample size of 380 people was determined. The validity of the questionnaire is content validity and its reliability is calculated by Cronbach's alpha. To analyze the experimental data, test the hypotheses and confirm the agreement of the theoretical structurethe experimental structure for factor analysis and path analysis have been used.
Researcher Findings: Research shows that personal, operational, organizational and environmental factors are effective for stress-free work. Among the factors, effective, organizational, operational and environmental factors are inversely related to stress-free work, but another factor is directly related to stress-free work.
Limitations & Consequences: in the early stages, the lack of previous researches, led to the presentation of the initial model based on the researchers inference.
Practical Consequences: By implementing this model, in addition to increasing performance, people tend to leave the organization less and their motivation increases.
Innovation or value of the Article: To design a stress-free work model, in parallel with examining the factors affecting stress management, the factors affecting job stress were examined; Finally, by combining these two different categories, factors and indicators of stress-free work were extracted based on the inference of the researchers and the opinion of the experts, and then validated; The result of design and validation is a comprehensive and new model that includes the environment, the individual and the organization.
