Non-commitment to work is important social problem in Iran. In this paper, we have investigated the relationship between occupational capital and work commitment. The methodology is descriptive and correlational. This article examines the relationship with employees in eight governmental organizations in Tehran, 78 males and 48 females were interviewed. To measure the validity and reliability of the index, internal correlation, Cronbach's alpha coefficient and KMO have been used; Cronbach's alpha coefficient is 0.80 of the work capital and 0.70 of the job commitment.The average employee's work commitment in the surveyed organizations is 3.42 of 6 and the average of occupational capital is 3.39 of 6. The correlation between work commitment and occupational capital(r = 0.41), economic capital(r = 0.17), political capital(r = 0.41), social capital(r = 0.38) and cultural capital is(r = 0.29). The variables in the study explained 66% of the variance of the work commitment.When correlation between occupational capital and work commitment was examined in two groups with high and low alienation of work and capital distribution, was found this correlation to be stronger in organizations with more organizational justice. And between those who have had less alienation of work are stronger than others.

The Relationship Between forms of Capital and Happiness Among the Marginalized and non-marginalized: A Case Study of Tabriz City Mohammad Abbaszade[1], Davvod Ghasemzadeh[2] , Noshin Saleh[3] Received: 1/4/2015 Accepted: 5/2/2017 Abstract In recent decades, research on the positive aspects of human life has increased and undoubtedly one of the most important areas of today human life is joy and happiness. This study investigates the relationship between levels of happiness among marginalized and non-marginalized people of Tabriz and forms of their capital. In order to measure the happiness levels a survey applying an Oxford Happiness Questionnaire among 300 people through multistage cluster sampling was done. Findings show moderate to high levels of happiness among the subjects and different types of capital (social, cultural and economic) have significant and positive relationship with happiness. Also the regression results indicate that the independent variables were entered into the study explained 14% of the variance in happiness. Results suggest that social and cultural capital plays a major role in levels of happiness but economical capital has a little role in explanation of happiness among the marginal and non-marginalized in Tabriz. According to the findings economical capital is also significant and effective but in order to increase happiness and subjective well-being of study subjects, the focus of policy making and cultural planning should be more on social and cultural capital.
