One problem associated with our contemporary modern life is the appearance of job stress in terms of the work environment. Meta-analysis creates a better understanding of the similarities and dissimilarities of the previous studies conducted in this field and hence allows for a more comprehensive perspective on the research subject. In the present study, the previous studies on the job stress have been classified in terms of such criteria as statistical society, the involved variables, and type of job, and finally 12 studies have been selected as the statistical society of the research. In our proposed meta-analysis, for investigation of the magnitude of the effect of the independent variables on the job stress, the criteria for the effect size of coefficients r and d of Cohen have been used. Our findings show that the variables for age (d = 0.49), gender (d = 0.56), and job experience (d = 0.35) have an intermediate importance in the amount of job stress. Besides, variables for organizational atmosphere (d = 0.62), organizational justice (d = 0.98), work ethic (d = 0.95), and job satisfaction (d = 0.8), each of which used in a separate study, have great importance in determination of the amount of job stress.

To gather the data questionnaires of Rabin’s conflict management and Meselch’s job stress and burnout were used. Correlation and regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Results indicate that based on principals’ job stress, conflict management style can predict co-operation, avoidance and compromise. But because the amount of F obtained for conflict management style of competition (0/07) is not statistically significant (P≥0 / 05); it cannot be predicted based on principals’ job stress. Beta coefficient indicates that, per unit increase in stress management, conflict management style of cooperation decreases at 33 percent, avoided style increases at 28 percent; concession style decreases at 34 percent and compromise style decreases at 47 percent.

The aim of the current research is to evaluate job stressors on the organization's employees using multi-criteria decision-making. This qualitative-quantitative study was conducted in two stages. First, the most important occupational stressors of firefighters were identified and screened using a systematic review of scientific references and experts' opinions based on a questionnaire design. Then, all the screened stressors were weighted and prioritized by Analytical Hierarchy (AHP) method. According to the results of the research, inappropriate factors during the operation were ranked first and social factors ranked tenth. In the next step of AHP, the sub-criteria related to each criterion were compared in pairs, based on the results of the index of complications caused by the effects of smoke and toxic gases in the first priority and the index of the level of organizational culture in relation to stress management is in the 20th priority.

While some scholars have supported various strategic management approaches, other scholars have challenged and criticized these approaches. In addition, there is a plurality of opinions among the scholars who have opposed strategic management. Despite the fundamental criticisms they have made on the nature of strategic management, they have not been able to find an alternative solution for the strategic management process. Therefore, the CEOs of the companies have faced a dilemma, whether they should follow the strategic management process or not, and if the answer is negative, then how should they achieve success and gain competitive advantage. The purpose of this research is to present the theory of de-strategization to answer these questions. In order to carry out this research, Phronetic iterative qualitative method has been used. The research sample includes fifteen companies in the private sector located in Tehran and its suburbs, which were selected purposefully. Based on the findings of this research, the adoption of de-strategizing policy is more effective than creating strategy. Strategy-creating policy will lead to systematic cognitive bias under the title of blind spot of competitive disadvantage and will cause the formation of four paradoxes including strategic management knowledge, effort-result, adherence to strategy-abandoning strategy, and job stress. But de-strategization does not mean inaction, so it is necessary to pay attention to the four recommendations mentioned in this article. Manuscript profile -
