Abstract Introduction: Witnessing workplace incivility is a relatively new construct. The purpose of this study was designing and testing a model of some outcomes of witnessing workplace incivility
Method: Statistical population included all employees of National Iranian Drilling Company (NIDC). From this population 221 employees were selected by stratified random sampling method. The instruments used in the study consisted of witnessing workplace incivility (Cortina et al., 2001), emotion regulation (Niven et al., 2011), negative affect (Watson et al., 1988), emotional exhaustion (Maslach & Jackson, 1981) Job satisfaction (Andrews and Whitey, 1976), work-job withdrawal (Hanisch & Hulin, 1990), and hostility ideation (Greenglass & Julkunen, 1989). The proposed model was analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with using SPSS-22 and AMOS-22 software packages.

Findings also showed that witnessing workplace incivility had significant relationships with emotion regulation, negative affect, emotional exhaustion, job satisfaction, work-job withdrawal, and hostility ideation. The meditating role of emotion regulation and negative affect on the relationships of witnessing workplace incivility with emotional exhaustion, job satisfaction, work-job withdrawal, and hostility ideation was confirmed.

Abstract Study of Love from the perspective psychology[D1] , sociology, philosophy, linguistics: The peresentation[D2]  of a combined theoryThe [D3] concept of love can be defined from a range of perspectives. Different fields of philosophy, psychology, sociology[D4]  and linguistics have focused on exploring this concept and this has led to a plethora of definitions. Like feelings, love can associate one to others who are intended in spite of the physical characteristics; therefore, it is governed by sociocultural dimensions. The concept of love and the experience of falling in love is under the influence of dominating discourse[D5]  of the[D6]  society and its social, cultural, political and economic circumstances in every particular period of time. Although love initially seems to be the most individual in feelings and compassion, it is fully affected by social circumstances. Taking into account love as agency[D7]  is of great importance. Considering the interaction between someone and the structure, the capacity of people to fall in love is analogous to a social trait. This study aims to explain love sociologically. Having reviewed the relevant texts and utilizing library research method as a background for empirical and survey evaluation of the issue, these researchers have embarked on analyzing the issue philosophically, psychologically, sociologically and linguistically. In social[D8]  analysis of love, the outlooks of people like Turner, Goode, Giddenz, b[D9] auman and[D10]  Iluves have been used. In linguistic and semiotics domains, the viewpoints of Roland Barths and Robert Sternberg have been applied in order to elaborate the conceptual reasons of love. The viewpoints of philosophers and psychologists are discussed at the end of this article.
