Abstract :

Human resource productivity is one of the main concerns of managers of organizations, and they always try to identify factors affecting productivity, one of which is employee welfare. The purpose of the present research is to identify the components of the welfare affairs of the property and document registration staff in East Azerbaijan Province in order to provide a suitable model. In this qualitative research, metacombination strategy and content analysis are employed. The studied population included 110 articles, dissertations and Persian and English books written from 2015 to 2022, among which 56 items that were more relevant to the purpose of the present research were purposefully selected as the sample of the study, coded and classified. Then, the main themes were extracted, consolidated, rethought and rearranged. The findings show that the well-being model can be classified into three dimensions: mental, objective and social: the main themes of mental well-being include twelve categories, the objective well-being includes eight categories, and the social well-being includes twelve categories. Therefore, it seems crucial to pay attention to various dimensions of the welfare of the registry office employees. The present model, designed for the welfare of the employees, makes it possible to provide suitable grounds for their health and job satisfaction, and in this way, increase their productivity.
