Abstract

The current research aims to study the unconditional positive respect among married employees in the Iraqi society in Baghdad governorate, as well as identifying the differences in the unconditional positive respect among married people according to the variable: gender (male-female), age group (20_40) and (41_61) years, and years of marriage (1_15).and (16_30) years. Where the sample of the current research consisted of (400) male and female employees, and they were selected in a stratified random way from the ministries in Baghdad governorate, and in order to achieve the objectives of the research, the two researchers used the descriptive correlative approach, and the Paterson & Joseph (2006) scale was adopted, which reached the number of its paragraphs in the scale in its final form (11) items, and then the data were analyzed by using the statistical bag (SPSS). The results showed that the employees are characterized by a low level of unconditional positive respect. There were no differences according to the demographic variables of the unconditional positive respect variable, except for the variable of years of marriage, in favor of the age group (1-15 years). At the end of the research, the two researchers presented some recommendations and suggestions.
