Study of Human Identity in Persian Literature and Psychology Schools among Employees of the Welfare Organization of Khorramabad County

Although identity is a modern concept, the reality is that since man has lived in this world, identity and who he is have been his fundamental issues. Man shapes his identity according to his living conditions and being influenced by the environment and the harsh events of social life. This identity is the result of his individualization and the confrontation between his inside and outside. A confrontation that arose from the disintegration of the soil of his existence and the divine spirit in the beginning. Therefore, man determines his own destiny and his happiness and misery by tending to each of these two elements. Throughout history, traces of these searches can be found in literature and psychological texts. Literature is a place where man is closer to himself than ever before. One of the most brilliant ways of expressing the concept of identity is in classical Persian literature. This study is a descriptive-correlational study, and the statistical population is the employees of the Khorramabad Welfare Service in 1403. The sample size is 380 people who were selected by simple random method. The instrument of this study includes the Identity Dimensions Questionnaire.

These findings acknowledge the existence of psychological disorders in employees, so it requires serious attention from relevant authorities.
