Abstract The present study was conducted with the aim of analyzing the effect of job burnout on organizational commitment with the mediation of organizational silence among teachers of first secondary schools in Noorabad city. The research method was descriptive-correlation of the type of structural equations. The statistical population of the research was all the teachers of the first secondary schools of Noorabad city in the academic year of 2001-2001, numbering 320 people. To select the sample, Krejcie & Morgan table was used and 175 people were selected by stratified random sampling method. In order to collect information, three standard questionnaires of Milliman's job plateau (1992), Allen and Mayer's (1990) organizational commitment, and Dine et al.'s (2003) organizational silence were used. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics including confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling with partial least squares approach were used for data analysis. The research findings showed that there is no significant relationship between job burnout and organizational commitment at the 0.05 level, but with the mediation of organizational silence, this relationship is negative and significant. Also, organizational silence has a negative and significant relationship with organizational commitment at the 99% confidence level, and job burnout has a positive and significant relationship with organizational silence at the 99% confidence level. In general, it is concluded that the conceptual model of the effectiveness of organizational commitment on job burnout with the mediating role of organizational silence does not fit with the empirical model.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between teachers’attitudes toward change and job burnout in the Covid-19 pandemic with the mediating role of virtual education ac ceptance. The research method was descriptive-correlation and in particular modeling of structural equations. From the statistical population of teachers in Khuzestan and Ilam provinces in the academic year 2021-2022, 353 people were selected by cluster random sampling. The research instruments were the Dunham et al, standard questionnaire of attitude towards change, 1989; Hosseini et al.e admission e-learning questionnaire, 2014; Maslach & Jackson job burnout questionnaire, 1997. The results showed a significant direct relationship between teachers’attitudes toward change and virtual education acceptance(p<0.01), a direct relationship between virtual education acceptance and burnout was significant(p<0.01), but the direct relationship between attitudes toward change and burnout was not statistically significant (P >0.05). There was a significant indirect relationship between attitudes toward change and burnout through e-learning(p<0.01). Therefore, it can be said that a positive attitude towards change, by affecting the acceptance rate of e-learning in teachers, indirectly predicts burnout in the period of the covid-19 pandemic.
