Abstract
This research aimed to examine the role of organizational self-esteem and social erosion in predicting positive organizational behavior among the employees of Sazeh Gostar Saipa Company. This study is descriptive in nature, applied in its objective, and relational-correlational in method, specifically based on regression analysis. The statistical population of this research consisted of all employees of Sazeh Gostar Saipa Company in the year 1402, totaling 400 individuals. Given the inability to study all employees, the researchers utilized simple random sampling to study a portion of the population and generalize the results to the entire population. Using Cochran's formula, the sample size was determined to be 180 individuals, and questionnaires were distributed among them. In the field study, to measure the variables under investigation, the following questionnaires were utilized: the social erosion scale by Duffy, Ganster, and Pagon (2002), the organizational self-esteem scale by Pierce et al. (1989), and the positive organizational behavior scale by Luthans and Youssef (2012). Data analysis conducted using regression methods in SPSS software version 26. The findings indicated that 9.5% of the variance related to positive organizational behavior (hope, resilience, optimism, and self-efficacy) explained by organizational self-esteem, while 7.5% of the variance in positive organizational behavior attributed to the components of social erosion. Based on the findings, it can conclude that increasing organizational self-esteem and decreasing social erosion behaviors lead to enhanced healthy behaviors, and consequently, an increase in positive and constructive organizational behaviors
