Abstract

Unintentional mistake is an indisputable part of organizational activities which employees are faced with on the way to doing their jobs. Organizational mistakes or failures have two totally contradictory aspects. On the one hand, they lead to negative outcomes such as losing time, producing defective products, and occurring accidents. On the other hand, they may result in positive outcomes such as organizational learning, innovation, and flexibility.
There exists little empirical evidence on the nature of error management culture and its relationship with quality of work-life and psychological empowerment, especially in media organizations such as Islamic republic of Iran broadcasting (IRIB). This study accordingly seeks to investigate the effect of error management culture on the quality of work-life and psychological empowerment among radio deputy staff in IRIB.
