Abstract

1- INTRODUCTION
The study of mental health and its related factors is noteworthy for all individuals, groups and organizations, and is becoming more sensitive in some environments and situations. Among various organizations, one of the most important organizational groups in which interpersonal relationships, mental health and organizational virtue play a vital role in the performance of employees and managers is the organizations that have specific complexities and are always encountered with different pressures in the workplace. Health centers and hospitals are the most sensitive of these types of organizations, which are important in assessing interpersonal relationships, mental health, and paying attention to organizational virtues. Health centers need to employ specialist and compassionate staff dedicated to rescuing and caring for patients.
