The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between job performance and depression with organizational conflicts in professors and staff of Larestan University of Medical Sciences.
 
Methods : This descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in 2016 on 82 professors and staff of Larestan University of Medical Sciences  selected by census sampling method. In order to collect information in the present study, three questionnaires (organizational conflict, job performance, and Goldberg depression) were used.
Results : The mean of depression was 58.20 with a standard deviation of 17.16, the mean of job performance was 30.55 with a standard deviation of 27.5, and the mean of organizational conflict was 93.20 with a standard deviation of 42.5. Conflict with subordinate had a higher mean score and conflict with peers had a lower mean score. The frequency distribution of depression among the participants showed that healthy individuals had the highest frequency (27.7%) and individuals with severe depression had the lowest frequency (4.8%).

Abstract
Introduction
: One of the main components of the contractor management system is the assessment of their Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) performance. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide a practical structure for evaluating HSE performance at the contractor level.
Methods: In this analytical study, the main factors were selected according to the seven main elements of HSE management system and then the sub-factors related to each main factor were determined. Then the questionnaires were sent to experts for weighting in terms of the degree of importance of the main factors and sub-factors. Based on the output of experts 'opinions, the relative importance of the main and sub-factors was calculated and the HSE performance evaluation model was created in the contractors' organization level. Finally, in order to validate, the proposed structure was investigated at the organization level of three main construction contractors of a specialized petrochemical parent company.
Results: The final model consists of 7 main factors and 119 sub factors. The maximum achievable score is 300 and the minimum is 60, which indicates a very good and very poor level of performance in terms of HSE, respectively. The performance evaluation results showed that the first contractor has scored higher in terms of HSE than the second and third contractors.
Conclusion: Due to the comprehensiveness of proposed structure, it could be used to evaluate the performance of the organizational level of different contractors which the results of the evaluation could be used as an input criterion for the selection of contractors. In addition, contractors can identify their organizational weaknesses in the HSE field and try to eremove them and improve their HSE level
